On New Year’s eve about 27 years ago, I made up my mind to be unbotherable. That was my intention for the year. What a great decision! I’m not entirely there yet, but that’s my goal. I get closer every day. It’s such a good goal to have.
With being unbotherable as my goal, I can make progress every day.
I can be successful every day. Each time I’m bothered I can turn around the cause of my upset by giving it to the Higher Holy Spirit Self for healing. Every day has become a healing day.
People often don’t bother to set REAL aspirations, intentions and goals because it feels like it’s a fantasy that will never happen. Why put attention on something where I’ll just be left wanting and not having? Why bother?
Yet, what life has taught me is that if I hold my aspirations, intentions and goals high in front of me, like a beacon of light pointing the way WITHOUT needing, wanting, grasping and craving, then they will become made manifest if they’re for my highest and best.
This is why in my Masterful Living Program we make a Contract with our Higher Holy Spirit Self about our aspirations, intentions and goals. They become the direction we’re headed in and Spirit charts the trajectory. If this is something you’re interested in, come join me this year in Masterful Living and get my New Year Reboot Workshop tomorrow as a BONUS.
We set an aspiration, intention or goal, the way that NASA decides to send a rocket to the moon – or China – and in order to meet the goal, they have to course correct all the way in order to factor in all the different things that affect the rocket along it’s trajectory.
A Course in Miracles tells us in Lesson 135 that “a healed mind does not plan.”
This means we let Spirit guide us – we can have what we would call “a plan,” like I have a plan to finish writing this Spiritual Espresso. However, we release all attachment to it. We let Spirit guide us. When the “plans” change then we get to practice being unbotherable.
People don’t trust Spirit so they don’t allow themselves to feel, hear, see, know the guidance that they’re getting. As a spiritual counselor for 25 years I’ve talked with countless people who would like to receive Spirit’s guidance, but in truth, they’re intensely afraid of being guided to do something they don’t want to do.
In order to be unbotherable, we have to develop trust and faith, and we learn to relax.
This is precisely why ACIM tells us that our willingness is all that’s required. Trust, faith, relaxing, all require willingness.
Are we REALLY willing to follow the guidance we get? Many are not, but we can learn HOW to trust and that’s what my programs are for. We learn to make higher choices, have greater trust and faith and lot less fear. Being unbotherable is really worth it. It’s a relief.
I’ve often learned the grace of being willing to be willing. And even the power in being willing to be willing to be willing. A little bit will take us all the way!
TOMORROW – SATURDAY: NEW YEAR REBOOT WORKSHOP If you’d like to join with me in the new year, I’ve got my New Year Reboot Workshop on Saturday, January 4, and that’s a FREE BONUS for anyone in Masterful Living Program 2025. Would you like this new year to be different than the last – no more repeats? Come and join me and let’s lay down that foundation.
NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Letting Go of Victimization. Let’s be willing to release our attraction to victimhood. Seeing ourselves as a victim in this world is a habit we can break. In this episode, I share my walk with seeing myself as a victim of the world and recognizing that it’s a habit that can be released. Seeing ourselves as a victim can feel really sticky. When we’re disempowered we feel resistance to the very things that will most support our liberation. All of this can be transformed more easily than we can imagine! We can set ourselves free if we’re willing!

Remember you can book an Exploratory Call with one of the spiritual counselors to discuss any questions you have about Masterful Living and that’s a free call!
Healing the mental patterns of separation, lack and limitation are a major part of what my year-long Masterful Living Program is all about. It’s about feeling more connected with Spirit ALL of the time and reducing the sense of separation from Spirit means reducing fear, pain and suffering of so many types: physical, emotional and mental. Fear affects our body, emotions and our mental stability – we all know that. If you’d like to live with a sense of trust and faith, Masterful Living might be for you! You’ll get my New Year Reboot Workshop as a bonus!
