ALWAYS PERFECT
Consistently, one of the hardest things for me to wrap my head around is the truth that no matter what, things are always working in my favor. In my book, “Notes From the Higher Self,” one of the lessons; “All of it is from you, all of it is for you” has proven to be one of the most challenging. I believe in a benevolent universe. It is my perspective that life wants to be lived and that Spirit doesn’t create from exclusion. It is always creating from the totality of all that is. In order for Spirit to be all things, all things must be allowed to exist. In the midst of challenge or difficulty, especially when chaos is in peak form, it is often impossible to see how this is true.

Expanding Capactiy
One of the first teachings my guides began to instill in me years ago was the idea that what is desired already exists. They said, “Whatever it is that you wish for already exists in a specific plane of reality.” They used the example of asking for a million dollars.

Several days after the eruption, a cloud of ash and debris began to fall upon our small western town.

The Breaking Point
I think one of the biggest challenges of my adult life has been unlearning the pattern of behavior that told me my well-being and value are found in putting the needs of others above my own. This pattern insists that in order for me to be safe and happy, I must, above all else, do everything I can to heal, help, fix, and caretake other people. Even if (and oddly more so because) they aren’t open to or interested in my help. This has been powerfully highlighted during the past 6 months of living with my Dad, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. It seems like my entire life I have wrestled with creating healthy boundaries around how much I give to others. I am not talking about simple kindness and compassion. I am talking about a belief that told me time and time again, that if I just cut off a bit more of myself in service of another, then I would finally get what I needed.
