I’m always learning, having more clarity, expanding my awareness, and that’s one of the things I’m most grateful for.

It makes life feel easier and more supported.  There are so many benefits we can accrue and enjoy.

One thing I frequently share about is that the way to increase intuition and insight is to relinquish the blocks to Love, because Love is where the insight comes from.

We open to the flow of Love, which is pure Wisdom.

The blocks to Love are the judgments and opinions that we treasure more than the truth.  The more we release the attachments to our perceptions, the more free our mind is to be aware of what’s real.  And knowing what’s Real and what false makes life so much more Joy-FULL.

This brings SO MUCH benefit, and I see it operating all of the time in my life.  Here’s an example of a recent experience:

I was flying to Atlanta for my cousin Penny’s wedding.  I was really looking forward to it as I’d get to be with 5 of my cousins, plus my aunt, my uncle, my brother and my Dad.  I rented an Airbnb for some of us to share.  We were planning to have a lot of quality time together.

As it happened, I was flying just 2 days after the REAL ID went into effect.  I had gone to the DMV a month before to get my new license so I’d be able to have it for this trip.  However, it hadn’t arrived.  It was lost in the system.  I still had my old license, so I could use that.  My passport and my Global Traveller ID’s were not easily accessible as they were in storage, (by accident).  I was told the lines at Logan airport had been four hours long for people trying to go through security without REAL ID.

For this particular trip it was a little challenging to try to get to the airport 4 hours early because I had to drop off my precious Sattva at the Feline Hospital where he ws being boarded for the 3 days as I didn’t have anyone to watch him for me.  I couldn’t take him in any earlier because they weren’t open.  And, honestly, I sure as heck didn’t wish to spend 4 hours at the airport before my flight.  I was planning to only have a carry on, no checked bag, and to spend as little time at the airport as possible.

Folks were telling me I SHOULD get their many hours ahead, and I was resisting that idea, and also being a little poked by it.  I don’t like being told I HAVE to do something I don’t wish to do.   I decided to do my best and shoot for 2.5 to 3 hours ahead – much more than my normal 1 hour ahead.

Then on the morning of my trip, I was feeling pressured to get to the airport as early as possible for my 1pm flight.  I was aware of the mental/emotional pressure, and I was not allowing myself to be anxious.  When I dropped Sattva off at the kitty boarding place, I locked my keys in the car.  Sigh.  I began to feel some stress at this point because, although I have AAA to come unlock the car for me – I’ve been in the position of waiting HOURS for them to come.  I knew I was just outside of Boston, so it probably wouldn’t be long, but still …

As I waited for AAA to arrive, I made a conscious decision to completely surrender to the flow and trust that if I didn’t get on the plane, if I didn’t go to the wedding, that it was a divine alignment and not a mistake.  

AAA came in about 10 minutes, and I was on my way again.  I had to cancel my Lyft, pay the penalty and order a new one, but that was no biggie.

I managed to get to the airport 2.5 hours ahead of my flight departure time. My goal was met.  Traffic was light and the trip was pleasant with a driver that I chatted with the whole way. There was almost no one going through security and I have TSA Precheck.  I gave them my expired old driver’s license and explained the situation and they said that it would only take 1 minute extra.  

I went through security like a breeze.  I now had hours before my flight.  All was completely good.

Bottom Line – I wasn’t willing to keep imagining disaster.  I didn’t entertain the idea of missing the flight, or the trip, but I was willing to accept whatever occurred.  

I’ve come to realize that it’s so important and valuable to hold these in mind:

1.  Accept what is, and don’t prepare for what I don’t want.

2. Energize what I’m interested in and hold it without attachment – this or something better.

A couple of times recently I was going to a place where it could be hard to find parking.  People were telling me it would be impossible to find parking nearby.  I said, “that’s not true for me.  I’ll find a place right out front.”  In both cases, I found parking a block away or right in front.  It was all very easy.  In fact, it could hardly have been easier.

I used to have the opposite experience.  I would imagine that things wouldn’t go well, and I’d be right.  I’d imagine that I’d be disappointed, and I’d be right.  I’d imagine that it would be difficult and I’d be right.

Sometimes it’s exhausting being right.

I’ve decided to let my good find me.  I’ve decided to stop pushing it away by focusing on what I DO NOT WANT.  I got tired of feeling like a victim of the world and I decided to become aware of the truth:  All of Life is for me and nothing is against me.  It’s a much better way to live – and since we’re always teaching by example, now, I can truly teach only Love.
