All About L.O.V.E

I am going to kind of jump onto the band wagon here, and celebrate Valentines Day that is coming up on the 14th February.

My very first newsletter was around this time, and whilst I am not going to just copy and paste that newsletter, I am going to use the same theme that I did then. At the time, I was single, and I thought about other friends that were in the same situation, and rather than have an anti-valentines message, I decided that actually, I am going to spoil myself instead! I am going to cook myself a nice meal, and just treat myself on that day! I got some great feedback from some people who did the same, and they had a great Valentines day too!

Judge, Jury and Executioner?

From personal experience, I have learned not to judge.  Well – I have certainly tried to not judge.  If I find myself doing it, I change it as quickly as possible.  A wonderful teacher taught me that when you judge someone, you loose the ability to influence them.  Whilst I don’t always try to influence people – I am also aware that what I judge in others – is often a part of me that I am not happy about, but I do not recognise it in the same way.

All Change!

For the past year I have been the co-host on a wonderful on-line radio show with Gina Alzate.  The show was called ‘Healing with Spirit Communication’ and as co-host it was my role to give proof of survival and messages from loved ones in spirit to those that called in.

The show has been phenomonal!  I have enjoyed every minute – even when a guy decided to play loud music down the phone to me – I continued on!  It has also proved to me that our loved ones in spirit can connect through any channel that they can to get their message across.

However, now is the time for this show to come to an end, and the last show will be on Tuesday 9th February – and we will have a loved theme to accompany the show!  I know that something will continue, whatever the format – but I know something will takes it place!

I feel sad in one way, yet happy in another as I know that when one door closes, another one opens!  So I am looking forward to the challenge of something new in the coming days!

Letting Go

I was chatting with a good friend of mine yesterday, and we were talking about the need to release it all in order for one to be spiritually enlightened.  She had been on a workshop – and was told that in order to have spiritual enlightenment, she had to release all connections, to those that she loved, her material possessions and basically everything she has – in order to be more spiritually connected.  This didn’t sit well with my friend, and for good reason – she is a loving daughter, wife, mother and friend – and to loose those connections would be like a hole in the heart!  It made me think too that if I had to cut out my family members, my nieces and nephews I would be devastated!  I can remember that as my little sister found out she was having a baby, I moved countries because I wanted to be nearer her and my family!

Sometimes, what we need to let go of are the tangled, unhealthy relationships that we hold onto.  I met someone recently, and had a blast, and have continued to hold this person in my thoughts – but the feeling has not returned in the same way, so I know that this is something that I need to let go of.  However, letting go of a loved one for no other reason than to become spiritually aware is not something I would agree with.  What I would agree with is that you can let someone go so that they follow their own path, they do their own thing.  I am being faced with ‘expectations’ at this time in my life, as my family in one way or another expect me to be settled down and have some kids – yet that is their expectation in life, and not mine right now.  Sure in the future I would love to have all of that, but right now it wouldn’t be good for me.  I am finally learning how to live life and have fun after being a hermit and hiding for so many years – that now is the time for me to live life the way that I want to.

Letting go or releasing those around us, does allow us to allow them to live the life that they would like, and we hope in return that we are allowed to do the same.  However, it does not mean that we have to give them up completely just to be enlightened.  I believe that we are already enlightened, and that our light shines brightest when we share our love with our friends and family.  They may not be around to receive it – but they will feel it one way or another.

I wonder what would happen if….

I have been thinking over the last couple of days.  For those that don’t know, the Christmas Number One in the UK is quite a big thing!  For the past four years, it has been won by the winner of reality tv / find a new singing star contest ‘The X-Factor’.  I am not complaining about the show, although I do not watch it that often.  However, this year, a young guy won the contest, and his winning single was released just in time for everyone to run out an buy it – with the record companies hopes that it will hit number one.  This year … it didn’t.

There was a big FaceBook campaign going on to get another single to number one, which was by an American group called ‘Rage Against the Machine’.  In my own opinion, the song was not that good – but then it was not my type of music.  What has really struck me though is that there was a lot of energy being used and created to stop X-Factor being number one.  It was built up on the fact that people didn’t want Simon Cowell to have another number one, to have another success.

What if that energy, time had been spent on creating something positive?  What if instead of it stopping something – but starting something – we would have a better world to be in?  I am not sure if the whole campaign was to support ‘Rage Against the Machine’ or not.  If it was, then it was a job well done.  However, the posts and hypes that I had read on Facebook were more against Simon and the X-Factor.

So what could we spend our energy on creating – instead of stopping?!
