Life really is a series of choices. We can choose to align with our spirit and make our choices based in love and a life springs forth. We can choose to embrace our filter system and make our choices based on fear and an entirely different kind of life arises. If we are willing to honestly look at our life we can see the choices we have been making.

As a child my dad and I had a very tumultuous relationship. He lived with me the last year of his life. What a gift that was for both of us. As much as possible I choose to act from love rather than react from fear. The whole time he lived here I only got angry once and immediately shifted back into love. My dad thanked me many times for taking care of him and told me how proud he was of me. I was able to hold his hand as he died.

As I have said many times – life is and then we tell ourselves a story. I took a moment to change my story and created a very different experience. My dad has been watching videos from years ago. I can see how I responded as a young girl, feel the old stories rising to the surface and still make a new choice.

Life is a dream defined by what we tell ourselves. As I go through my day I ask myself if I want to create a nightmare or a fun and loving adventure. I also remember to ask myself if I want to be right or I want to be happy. How freeing it is when I take the time to notice my choices and then decide if that is a path I want to continue to take.

What choices have you been making in your life? What is your story about life in general and the people in your life? Are there villains in your story? Are you a victim or a powerful magician constantly creating your experience of reality? Is your life expansive and filled with so much love there is more than enough to share or is there scarcity in your life? Do you have a limited amount of love, time or energy?

What choices have you been making and do you want to continue down the path that those choices create?

With love,
Susan

Today is the last day for the charter membership of my Art of Allowing Class. Don’t miss out you have until midnight tonight HST. Here is a great video on taking responsibility. Enjoy!

Fear is such a prevalent force in so many people’s lives and in society as a whole. Choices we make based on fear rarely create outcomes we enjoy. When we let go of our fear, open to love and begin to trust the process of life we automatically live in a totally different world.

The Toltec tradition is based on the concept that the world is a vast energy system.  We can use our emotions like a barometer.  Low pressure usually means unsettled weather and rain while high pressure indicates clear, sunny weather. Fear indicates trauma and drama on the horizon while joy and love indicate smooth sailing. (more…)

I am adding an addition to my home. Having workmen around each day is a very different experience. I am used to my quiet, peaceful home. On the top floor of this addition there will be a meditation room. There is sense of peace each day as I go out and see what has been created that day.

Hopefully I will be able to see the ocean and Mauna Kea from there. Right now here is my view. I also ordered an awesome angel in the moon weather vane for the top.

Today, let the magic begin …

Title: Solstice Ceremony
Time: Monday, June 21st at 9:30pm Eastern
Listening method: Phone + Web Simulcast

To attend, visit: http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=13606896

I love doing ceremonies and this one sort of sneaked up on me. I have been so focused on daily life I lost track of the date. So I hope even with the late notice you can attend. I will be using the energy to send love and healing to all the planet but especially the Gulf region.

This is a wonderful time to set your intent to allow magic and miracles into your life.

And here is the replay of last week’s free webinar:
Personal Freedom: Creating the Life You Deserve

A friend sent me this and I thought what a great idea. Here is a powerful action we can take to help stop the devastation created by the oil spill. It will only take you a few minutes each day. Please join me in this simple prayer.

Dr. Masaru Emoto is the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research revealed that water physically responds to emotions.Many people have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr. Emoto, himself, has proposed.

I am passing this request to people I believe may be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.

We are not powerless. We are powerful, we do create our reality even oils spills.

Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily…multiple times daily…can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.We don’t have to know how…we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any other power active in the Universe today.

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, corals, algae … to ALL  living creatures … I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I Love You.”

Please join me in repeating this Healing Prayer by Dr.Emoto’s and send it on to your friends.

With love and a knowing we can make a difference,
Susan

I love writing teaching stories. I met the Grandmother when I was writing my second book. I started to write story about the Grandmother telling stories to the children of the village. One little girl said, "I want to here the story about the white wolf." My immediate thought was I do too!

She and I have journeyed far together and I have decided my next book will be all teaching stories. Here is the first of many to come.

The Grandmother, the chief and omens

Love or fear. Those are basically our two choices. I have never enjoyed the results I get when I make my choices based on fear. When we open the door at night the light dispels the darkness, the darkness doesn’t flow into the house extinguishing the light. So it is with love.

Here is a list of things you can do to create more love in your life:

Pray
Meditate
Go sit in a church
Sit by a running brook or the ocean – listen, smell and feel
Watch the sunrise or sunset
Go to a park and watch children play
Stop and smell the roses
Light a candle
Go for a walk in your favorite place
Make a list of everything and everyone you love
Consciously chose to feel love
Write down everything you are grateful for
Remind yourself you are love, you are loved and you are lovable
Listen to some uplifting music
Read some love poems

How about you add some ideas of your own?

I used to believe ‘out there’ had the ability to make me happy.Then in the 70’s I read Jane Robert’s book The Nature of Personal Reality and had to rethink that belief. After I studied the Toltec tradition I let it go completely and fully realized I was the creator of my reality. I could be as happy as I wanted to be at any given moment no matter what was going on around me. Talk about personal freedom. I no longer had to depend on ‘out there’ for anything!
