The “ah-ha” moment.

"I doesn’t matter the circumstances ~ what matters is the lesson."

I have spent most of my summer with a lot of quiet time. Never really feeling like I missed out on anything, but wondering why I was spending more time by myself than ever before. I asked my angels, spiritual guides and teachers, “Why must I go forth on this journey by myself?” The words I receive were: perception, disconcertment, and non-influence (their term). Okay, I still wasn’t clear on what that meant. So once again I call in my angels, guides and teachers, “Please show me how this all ties together.”

Since then, I’ve spent time with a vast variety of friends. I was exposed to different points of view and levels of personal and spiritual growth. We are all going through our own experiences and I honor each with compassion and acceptance. As the pen glided across the pages of my journal this morning, it occurred to me I knew the answer to my question. I wrote: “I clearly see now I know within ‘myself’ is truly who ‘I am’ uninfluenced by others.”

If you find yourself alone or feeling isolated, accept it as an opportunity to get to know and strengthen the love for “self”. Separate yourself from the things others have told you about “you”. If is painful, or anything less than from love – let it go. You are LOVE. A simple suggestion, spend time in nature doing the things that you enjoy. Search out only things that bring a smile to your face, an extra bounce to your step, a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Explore the joy of life. It’s out there, I promise you. Take time and talk to the angels, your spiritual guides and teachers. They are with you. You may not see, hear or feel them, but they are there. Ask for signs. Ask for clarification. Ask for answers. Accept the information you receive. It may surprise you. And when you look back on certain event(s), you will say to yourself, “Ah-ha! That’s why.”
