Our lives are filled with a series of turning points.  Sometimes we seem to take a turn that leads to a worse situation, and sometimes we take a turn that seems to lead us to higher ground.  Sometimes it’s really difficult to know which is which.

What I can see now is that one of the most impactful turning points in my life is when I decided to live fully committed to being loving.  I could only do that by consciously, and repeatedly, relinquishing the ego’s petty concerns in exchange for the highest and most loving choice that I could find in the moment.

I learned to turn things over to Spirit for healing.

I learned the value of surrender.

Any walk to know myself AS Spirit and to live God more fully is a walk of surrender. What does surrender mean? It means giving up my opinion in order to make way for Spirit’s healing, loving Truth. Any time I think I know how it SHOULD go or how things SHOULD be, any should at all, is a call for me to surrender – quickly.

I used to find myself pushing and pushing before I’d remember to turn it over to the Higher Holy Spirit Self. Sometimes I can feel attached to being right. In the need to be right it’s easy to lose sight of the intention to be loving and compassionate. Time to surrender, Dorothy!  We don’t surrender to the ego (wicked witch) we surrender to the miracle of Love!

“When Jesus said you have to lose your life to find it he was saying: You have to lose your hate if you wish to find love … you even have to surrender fear if you wish to discover faith.” Earnest Holmes, Living The Science of Mind

Many times in the past I’ve been challenged with trying to be a place of love when I was really in a place of deep and intense judgment. The judgment was the cause of my feelings of fear, but I didn’t know it. In those moments of fear and judgement I discovered the practice of surrendering to God.

I know that God is Love and God loves all as itself.

At times when I do not feel loving I surrender to God and let God love through me and as me.

I’ve learned the power of relinquishing any attachment to my opinion and hold firm to my aspiration to be loving. God moves through me. It doesn’t mean that I have to like the person or their actions, but God can still love through me. 

My vibration shifts as the judgment dissolves and Love becomes the focus. I become a place for healing. The Christ Consciousness is awake in me. This is the power of surrender.

Every moment of every day is a powerful opportunity for me to live with a deep intention to surrender even more fully to living this life in God and as God and to seeing God in everyone and every thing. In this way I am blessed and I AM a blessing wherever I go, whatever I do.  And for this, I AM grateful!

The latest episode of my podcast’s topic is A Year of A Course in Miracles.  I share some of the key principles in ACIM that have helped me, and many others, to change our thinking and transform our lives.

Traveling this path of Love together we let go of the painful past and release the compulsive fearful thinking – so many in this Power of Love community are proving it’s possible even when they thought it wasn’t.  Dissolving difficult thought patterns is the kind of work we do in my Masterful Living Program.  

What could you do or accomplish in the coming year that would be more valuable than letting go of the root causes of fear, pain and all suffering?  Why wait?  Why delay?  You will choose it eventually.

People who do this work with us in the Masterful Living Program are often amazed at how their bodies heal and their families heal, and for some it improves their finances in the most unexpected and remarkable ways.  It’s deeply healing to us individually and to those around us, because we share the same mind.  

If people didn’t prove it all the time in Masterful Living, we could never believe that the practical application of these principles would heal their marriage, their arthritis, or their body so they’re no longer spending thousands on medications and treatments.  Who would imagine that surgeries would no longer be needed or that their income would double, triple, quadruple without doing anything different to improve their business?  

Once people prove that changing their mind heals their life and body, they get excited for what else might be possible.

So many relationships are healed, families mended and transformed for the participants of Masterful Living.  Come join us this coming year!   

If you feel called to join us, follow your intuition.  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!
