Another beautiful day on the Camino Adventure and I’m so grateful for all the perfection we’ve experienced.

We’ve had beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, beautiful company and beautiful food – although I do wish there were more gluten free vegetarian options.  

One thing people have been saying all week is that it would rain today.  I kept saying, “maybe not, we’ll see!” 

I have a policy not to plan for the things I don’t want.  So, I wouldn’t have said all week, “it’s going to rain on Friday.” If I don’t wish for it to rain on Friday, I wouldn’t say it.

Saying, “it’s going to rain on Friday” is a strong affirmation.  Why affirm what you do not want unless you secretly want it, OR you feel like you’re a victim of the world.

We can hold in our minds what we’d like and keep our attention there without wanting, needing, grasping, and craving – all of which PUSH things away because they’re egocentric thoughts.

This is the mind training of A Course in Miracles – keeping our attention on what we’d like is something we learn how to do – we’re breaking the habit of focusing on what we don’t want and thinking that life is happening TO us.  It’s so life-changing to break these mental habits.  

Yesterday on the Camino it was a beautiful day.

I had the best lunch I’ve had in a while because it was all vegetables and legumes.  It was light and not heavy with olive oil.  Nothing was fried.  I was very grateful.

About an hour later, walking, it was sunny and not too hot, good breezes, but I started to feel very sleepy.  It was siesta time!  But that’s not so convenient on the Camino.  This was one of the few times in nearly two weeks that I was by myself.  People had either gone ahead or lagged behind me.  So, I just found a place to sit down for ten minutes and I rested by the side of the road, sitting on the curb.  After that short break I felt the sleepiness pass and I was good to go.

At no point did I fret or worry.  There were a few miles mostly walking in the hot sun, but the breezes worked beautifully to keep me from being uncomfortably hot and I had good hat and sunscreen.  I knew the route and it was lovely, so little traffic.  I felt blessed.

At one point last week I started to get a blister on the bottom of my big toe.  I put a blister bandage on it – Compede – and it worked beautifully.  Two days of that and the blister was averted.  I haven’t had any other issues this whole time.  I didn’t want any.  I didn’t imagine any.  Yet, as I’ve said, I was prepared in case they occurred.  

Sometimes when I’m firmly optimistic , people will try to talk me out of it or argue with me that I’m wrong.  I don’t get into it with them anymore.  It doesn’t help them to argue for their pessimistic perspective.  They get more attached and then they actually want the unpleasant thing to occur – that’s why I say something light like, “we’ll see!”

I don’t argue for being right anymore.  It’s not helpful, it’s often painful and it definitely isn’t loving.

I’d much rather support someone in knowing that everything is working together for their good than arguing that I’m right and they’re wrong.

Relinquishing these ingrained and deep attachments to unhelpful thinking is what my programs are all about.  It’s life-changing.  It brings a Peace that is not obtainable any other way.  It’s miraculous.  And we’re entitled to miracles.

Finding Freedom From Fear spiritual bootcamp with ACIM Principles starts on MONDAY, October 16!

My Finding Freedom From Fear Bootcamp is about being able to practice going the other way, changing our mind and being more interested in the truth than our perceptions. We begin in a few days time – Monday, October 16.

In Finding Freedom From Fear, we’re devoted to clearing away the resentments and regrets in order to receive intuition, insight, Divine Guidance, and inspiration more clearly than ever before.  It’s the VERY best gift we can give to ourselves and we get to share it with everyone because all minds are joined..  This healing requires that we give up the judgments that block our intuition.  This is the practice that allows us to expand into a life of perfect Love!  Come join me and let’s finish the year together brilliantly!

Spiritual Liberation, that’s what finding freedom is really about.

I’ve got several things coming up you may find fun and helpful:

• Finding Freedom From Fear Spiritual Bootcamp based on ACIM principles starts October 16
