Happy Easter!

When I think of Easter, I think of Jesus, who was on a mission from God:

He came to bring us the message of eternal life.
“I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.”

He taught us that we’re one with God.
“The Father and I are one.”(People have interpreted that to mean ONLY he and the “father” are one, but that doesn’t mean that’s what he taught.)

He taught us not to judge, but to forgive.
“Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.”
“Forgive them, they know not what they do.“

He told us to look for the kingdom within, and not in the world, and then we’d discover the treasure that has already been given to us.
“Seek first the kingdom of God within, and all else will be added unto you.”

And he told us how to remember that we’re one with everyone.
“What you do the least of them, you do to me.”

When someone who KNOWS the truth and lives it speaks the truth it vibrates throughout eternity and awakens within us that hunger and thirst for truth, for the healing of our mind and the full release of the blocks to Love.

And didn’t he say: “Everything I have done, you can do, and even more shall you do.”

To which I say, YES! Bring it! I AM willing!

Our willingness is all that’s required.

Our word has power, because our word is the word of God, because we are of God. Let us not run from that power, but relax into it. Let us relax any ideas we have about worthiness and simply be willing.

I wish I could have learned this as a child. My life would be entirely different.

Of course, I know that all is perfect. No mistakes have been made. It’s never too late to begin again in this moment now.

This full moon Easter weekend is such a powerful time for us to make new decisions and to consider the direction we’re headed. I’m so glad we don’t have to make anything happen.

We do need to be willing to allow things to unfold in a miraculous way. We must be willing to allow our Higher Holy Spirit Self to lead, guide and direct us. We must be willing to let go of grievances, and grudges to make room for the flow of Love to heal our heart and mind so that we can make a full return to being miracle minded.

I’ve learned to flow with guidance and inspiration and to stop making things happen – I used to try to control so much of my life and the people in it, and it was not a happy way to live. I learned the hard way how much better it is to follow guidance, to let Spirit lead me to the highest and best choices.

In other words, to train my mind to see the opportunity for the miracle every time there’s a sense of challenge, difficulty, opposition, resistance, reluctance or confusion.

It’s been SO helpful to me to realize that even when it doesn’t go my way in terms of the way I think it SHOULD go, or that I’d really like it to go – if I can see and feel that the current in the river of life is carrying me in a different way – the highest and best path for me is to go where the current is leading me.

Surrendering attachments to how I’d like it to be, or how I think it should be is our path of healing.

Thousands and thousands of times I’ve made the fearful choice, and tried so hard to make life go the way I wanted it to go. All of that repetitive struggle taught me to FEEL my way to the loving choices. It’s SO much easier – it’s so very much easier to be able to trust and go with the flow Spirit is carrying me on than it is to resist.

But it does require trust in order to be able to allow ourselves to be carried to the highest and best choices.

Sometimes it feels really hard to trust God’s timing.

Here’s an example: This fall I’m organizing a group walk on the Camino in Portugal and Spain. I got inspired to walk the Camino back in 2010 when I saw the beautiful movie THE WAY with Martin Sheen and his son Emilio Estevez. (I definitely encourage you to watch it. I don’t know anyone who wasn’t profoundly moved by it.). For quite a few years, I started making plans to go on a Camino walk only to realize my ego was doing the planning, and I’d relax and put it aside. (BTW, historical fact: Jesus’ teaching, when he walked the earth, weren’t called Christian teachings, they were called The Way.)

To be honest, it wasn’t hard not to go year after year when I knew I felt the calling, but that’s only because I knew to trust that Spirit would let me know the timing. I could stand to be patient.

This is HOW I’ve acquired the ability to trust.

Then, late last year, I got a clear and strong feeling – October 2023 Camino adventure!

So, I’ve followed my guidance. My dear friends Lisa Natoli and Bill Free have done this walk with the same leader and company TWO TIMES they LOVED it so much! I have dear friends, Karen and Rich Carothers who are planning their 9th trip. I’ve sat with them around their dining table several times talking about the miracles they’ve experienced on this beautiful and sacred journey.

Our group is forming and I know it will fill up quickly. If you’re interested, click here to learn more and please don’t hesitate if you feel it’s really calling you, because space is so limited. And now is a good time to buy plane tickets because prices are only going up.

It’s a big deal for me to take time away from the ministry, and also to travel and teach classes. It’s a big deal for me to leave my precious dog and cat, Bodhi and Sattva, but I do now feel it’s my time to do this. I am willing to trust that inner guide, the still small voice. I don’t know what miracles it holds for me, but I know that it does. I so look forward to be able to have time to walk and talk, play and dine with friends and prayer partners I’ve never met before. Maybe you’re one of them!
