Being the Light of Love in the World
Being . . . being the light of love in the world. That is, I believe, what we are all meant to be. Those of us who have been around a long time gathering experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly, are pretty well filled with the knowing and we can now choose the joy.
For me it has to do with recognition. I’ve spent so many lifetimes, and that includes a great part of this one, experiencing the bad and the ugly and then feeling guilt ridden and feeling like I have to pay somehow, that I’ve shut down a lot of the joy receptors. Part of that is the ability to notice the gifts all around me.
Right now, today, I’m choosing to open my eyes and my heart to notice the abundance of joy and love that is around me. That includes all the wonders of nature and all the wonders of man. I’ve been pretty good, in this life, at noticing the wonders of nature and being grateful and joyful about it. Allowing myself to accept the abundance of love being offered by other humans, money and material things has been another story. There has been a pile of guilt in the way of my acceptance of the idea that all of this could be for me.
Today, in this moment, I am releasing all old perceptions and blocks that may have been in the way of my acceptance of all that is wonderful and beautiful. I accept, with gratitude, that I am worthy of love in all forms, and I am willing to notice and return the love that is offered to me. I am ready to accept with gratitude all the money to accomplish the visions I am having of creating opportunities in the world to fix some of the damage done to this beautiful earth and in the hearts of people. I have been told for many years that I can do this and that it will be accomplished in this lifetime. I am ready to accept it and step up to the roll of being me, in all the glory of my God self. I am also ready to accept a healthy, strong body that is capable of doing whatever it takes to be the light of love in the world in joy and gratitude.
We no longer have to take vows of poverty and pain in order to become worthy of the kingdom of heaven. It was stated two thousand years ago that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Don’t you think it’s time to accept it and begin to live in the joy of knowing who we are? Everything is acceptable in the eyes of the father. The father is the creator of all things. How can the father hate any of his creations? No one has the right or responsibility to choose what is good and right for anyone but him or herself. Our only responsibility is to live as fully and as joyfully as we can for ourselves. Be the light of love in the world. Set the example of what is possible. I hope we are past the time of being killed for showing the way.
In our lifetime men and women have been killed for their efforts and it is still happening in some parts of the world. The difference is, we can now hold our heads up and know, we do not have to be punished for knowing. We can become the rich majority and the rich majority always has the power. Imagine a world where the rich majority lives in joy and gratitude instead of fear. Where there is recognition and acceptance of the power of love. The more of us who can know and act upon this knowing, the sooner the world we desire will manifest as reality. We are living in amazing times. It truly is about the choices we make every day.

Holding Space
We all wish each other well in all our endeavors and would help if we could but the only true help is to hold the space with intent for our friend’s hopes and dreams to manifest as reality. The only one who can make my reality is me.
That does not diminish in any way the importance of holding space. As we see each other’s vision, to the best of our ability, and are willing to hold the space for that vision to manifest, we pour in energy that multiplies exponentially to manifest the vision. We consciously participate because we recognize that all of our visions for ourselves are connected. We recognize ourselves in the mirror of our friends.
I had a conversation recently that brought up a common issue with many of us. The kicker was having an inner voice that said. Look at you; look at what you have let yourself become. You have given up on yourself!
We all have times when we may have those feelings. It is the best kind of wake up call. We can then consciously choose to make the necessary changes one baby step at a time. Choose action instead of inaction. The other piece of that is to tell our friends what is happening so they can relate and hold space with us, to progress up that spiral of experience we are traveling in this life. When we live in compassion and love we progress in kind.
Sometimes the compassion comes easier when it is applied outside of us. Share the love. Then we can apply it inwardly. A great exercise is to look in the mirror and say “I love you (your name).” Do this daily for at least 40 days to establish a new view of yourself. Another is to tell your body you love it as you lotion or cream every inch of your body. Does this sound difficult? All the more reason to do it! When we see ourselves as lovable we will attract love. When we are loving and loved we attract everything we desire. Energy seeks like energy. Be what we wish to be and it will manifest in kind. Live in gratitude and we will manifest more and more to be grateful for.
So, for today, I am feeling much gratitude for the opportunity to hold space for all your hopes and dreams to come true.
Blessings and love
Penny

One with All That Is
Sitting on a rock watching the sea flow in and out, bathing the heated shores of the island of Montserrat; feeling mother soothing the fever of her child . . . the very earth speaks to me of the lessons we as humans have been ignoring for hundreds of years. There was a time when man lived in harmony with nature and recognized the gifts, like the fertility of the volcanic mud and ash. Man has become so impressed with himself; the abilities of his opposing thumbs and gifted brain; he seems to have forgotten to be in community with the earth and sea which have nurtured him down through the ages. The voice of Montserrat speaks clearly in my mind teaching, caring, loving, drawing from me the gifts I bring to write the story and share the lesson of the ancient volcano at Montserrat.
Only 19 people were lost and that was only because some people are so stubborn they feel they can get the better of nature. That’s not happening. So the body passes and the spirit flies to challenge the earth another time or maybe to recognize itself. We are left with an amazing reminder that we are not all powerful. Ah but we are; it’s just how and where we choose to use the power. It takes a willingness to listen to the voice within so we can again recognize our connection with all that is. Our power is in the recognition of our weakness and the strength that come with submission to the wholeness of God Man and Nature.
There was a time when women had the knowing and flowed easily with nature. Man followed. Now woman is following man into an illusion of power that is a house of cards, bound to be blown away.
Women . . . Men . . . wake to the message Earth is showing us. Recognize true power in knowing we are one with all that is. We have experienced, as individuals in many lifetimes, all we need. It is time to honor that knowing and come together in our oneness to be all we are in the power of the Universal God. Be and know . . . we are . . .

Stuck in a negative vibe . . .
Get unstuck . . . now or later . . . my choice
Last week everything was going right, the sun was shining on everything and I felt good. Then I twisted my knee and it started to rain and I saw a terrible picture of myself that made me feel old. How do I get out of the pit and feel good again?
I usually go for a walk or exercise to get the endorphins going again but my leg hurts and I just don’t feel like it.
Do it anyway ! ! ! Then take something and ice the knee and know it will heal in time and I will be stronger for it.
What’s a little pain. How good will it feel when I get the result of pushing through? Don’t let anything stop the progress. Do something! Take action to shift thought, to show myself who is in charge. I am in charge . . . I am not a victim . . . I make the choices that make my life. If that choice is to feel sorry for myself today it’s ok . . . but know it is my choice and my responsibility to be whoever I am today . . . right now. . . this moment . . . is mine to make.
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible!"
Arthur C. Clarke
I am only stuck if I believe I’m stuck and right now I know I’m free to create my life any way I choose. I am grateful for this awareness and the ability to share it with anyone who is paying attention. When the student is ready the teacher appears.

Everyone has their own challenges. Who is to say what is worse or better. Just remember . . .
"You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
"You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

Love to you all.
