The holiday season is upon us and my mind is on well….way too many things! I woke up knowing I wanted to write a reflection today but my cluttered mind was keeping me from feeling the inspiration. I did my readings, meditated and got some very reassuring messages from Love Itself. But still…there was some heaviness…some resistance within me. I wasn’t feeling the bliss, the peace and ease I wanted to feel. It’s unusually warm and sunny for the first day of December here in Ohio so I bundled up a bit and headed out for a walk with Lillie. Mazzie wanted to stay resting in the indoor warmth of the sunshine. I noticed my mind wrestling with topics and searching for inspiration.
Periodically I’d get some insights and then came this reminder that I’m working way too hard at this!
One of the most powerful messages I’ve heard from 
over this past year is,
“In our Union is all Power.”
This translated into my language is, “If I’m trying to figure this out on my own, I’m just mucking it up and slowing it down!.”
I tried to breathe, relax, and just enjoy the walk without so much head work. I soon passed a beautifully decorated house with all the greenery and wreathes placed so eloquently. I caught myself saying, “I should decorate my house like that.” Then my mind went to the image of the astoundingly fun lit house of my own which my husband, in all his childlike joy for Christmas, loves to create each year.
It’s a glowing masterpiece of his own inner child and shines for the childlike wonder of the season!
I love it when I’m in my natural, childlike state.
Today it was clear I was in my own self judging state. Ahhh, I felt a little release. I realized I’ve been too focused on the “shoulds” of the season and my own life and not allowing myself to just play in my more natural childlike state.
As I came back to that relaxed state of ease, I soon noticed Lillie sniffing the ground so intensely that she was snorting like a pig over every inch of grass!
Yes! Like that!
I need to get back to savoring and relishing in the fun of just being
without all this pressure from my ego mind!
It was another block or two before I heard a Voice say to me, “You know, you don’t HAVE to write this reflection.”
And then all the resistance unlocked.
I felt relief. I felt peace.
The Voice helped me remember there is NOTHING I have to do to be loved, complete, and whole.
I am already safe, worthy, and more than enough.
It doesn’t matter what I get done, how elegant my decorations are, or even if others are happy with me.
There’s nothing I have to do.
I can simply return to my natural state of being…childlike, free, and trusting. And then all the rest will flow.
With this peace within returning, I responded, “But I want to write a reflection!”
And now I can. Because I don’t HAVE to!
Is there something you’re working too hard at?
In our Union is all Power
Always remember
there is nothing you need do of your own accord.
Simply unite with Me and trust in the Power of our United Will.
From this space are worlds created.
From this space is your world created.
Trust only in the Power of our Union.
Remember,
as soon as you venture alone to try to make something happen of your own accord,
then you disconnect from the Power of our Union.
Remember,
your trust in Me,
Your faith,
Your belief in Me,
Aligns you to join with My Power and thus surrender your own limited power.
Of the body, you do nothing.
for that is the state of separation.
Of Union with Me
and surrender of the body identity,
then do you elevate yourself to join with My Power,
With our Power of Love that has no limits.
You are limitless with Me.
Live in the grandeur of our Union
and surrender the littleness of the separated state to Me.
Return to your natural state of trust, of joy, of ease.
My burden is easy.
My message is Light.
You are only Light
Only Love
Extending ever outward
in Union and Power with Me.
Let go all the striving of the separated state.
Live in Union with Me.
