Hi Susan – Thank you – I always get a lot out of your videos and daily email messages.
In this video you said love is the only thing that is real; fear is part of the illusion. Could you explain more – isn’t love an emotion, too? And therefore also part of the illusion….?
And you’re right – am finding it hard to pin down what I do want. Emotion/illusion or not, I suppose I do want to feel more love.
When I use the word love I refer to the unconditional (not the emotional love) love based love. Emotional love is often conditional and fear based. The love that is part of the energy of creation. The love that has no limits. Now that is love in its purest form.
Emotional love is often I’ll love you as long as you do this, this and this. If you don’t I’ll withdraw my love.
I guess what I want for my life is to allow the love that is available to me, in. That includes the infinite amount of love for myself that I feel is close by but I am scared of letting in. I have discovered the rage I carry inside me is what I am frightened of and I have to ask for the support of something bigger to enable me to let that go. It feels big and that is what I am scared of.
Thank you, Susan. I appreciate the thoughts that you share with us through these videos. They always seem so appropriate for where I am in my life. I want to stop being afraid of commitment, of losing myself in an intimate relationship, because it’s also what I desire for myself, but I feel like I can’t allow myself to experience that because of my fear. When I remember to focus on love…using the mantra, “I am love, I am loved, I am loving”, the fear seems to lessen or disappear and then wonderful people and things come into my life. Namaste!
Hi susan, I think for me living out my dreams,and deepening m deepening my spirtual connection, thannkyou so much for making , making the videos love and light to you my angel friend.
Dear Susan – Thank you for your down to earth, clear, concise videos. When one focuses on love, nothing else matters.
Also, I couldn’t stop looking at your beautiful blue eyes. They said more than your message.
What I want is more of what I’ve been living…abundance of true love, peace of mind and trust. I’m also wanting an abundance of cash flow to clear all debts, help my daughters, retire in the next year and follow my passions.
Thank you!
I want to put myself back in my life. I want to make myself a priority. I began a list of possible non-negotiables that I want to choose from and help me focus on myself – my list looks like this so far…daily mirror work, gratitude journal, daily poem, meditate, exercise, go outside everyday, connect with nature, set a daily goal, VB6 (Vegetarian before 6pm), daily journal, breathe, drink water and breathe exercise, disconnect from media, limit work, recreationally read daily, sketch, connect regularly with friends/family, ask for help, only do what I truly want to do, do something for myself a.m. and p.m, treat myself lovingly in thoughts and actions…
I also wrote a Haiku poem – as I was sweeping the deck and back steps this morning, I brushed against a bush that gave off this beautiful aroma. I stopped and looked at the bush and it had these beautiful white flowers hanging down from it and they smelled like honeysuckles – I had never noticed them before. So when I went back inside I wrote this in my journal:
Summer walkers pass
Sweet aroma stops the trek
Honeysuckle breath
I really enjoyed this 🙂
I do have a suggestion – make your list of non-negotiable items doable. Always set yourself up for success. Maybe star with one a day so at the end of the day you can give yourself a pat on the back and say proudly I DID IT.
Aloha Susan, I know what I want. First thing is to always be insipired daily by you. I finally have accepted that I am disabled and know that I will may be able to work for another 5 years. I want to and planning to have less debt. I want to take creative writting courses and possibly get a BA. I will do some volunteering, walk my dogs, enjoy our lake lot more. Also continue to grow spiritually and help others. Maybe publish a bestseller. Not live in fear just with love and gratitude.
Hi Susan,
I want to focus and live in a new, lighter and safer way, starting inside myself, and to let love surround and permeate my every cell and life moment. I want to be able to observe and not react so much to my own mental cluttery closets or streams, or comments or advertisements,,, mine or others. I want o laugh more every day and see humor every day. I want to feel confident and clear and free, free of past hurts and memories that intrude or of the future. I want to be part of a loving and focused group of creative people ,doing my true loving work, and play. I want to work with joy,and free of financial concerns , worries, all those fears , and I want to enjoy you and each videos and all that I learn and make room for the new learnings by letting go of old storage stuff. Susan, i want to enjoy and preserve and educate about animals and nature and creativity and touch the lives of and children and all ages ..even more. I want to celebrate life and awake happy and joy filled every day, healthy and alive and co create with others . Whether I am alone or with others or in a intimate relationship .I want to feel and be unsinkable ,and resilient!
I want to feel closer to what is the source of happiness, sacred, and filled with hope and love and wholeness . I want to pass all that on! I want to inspire and be inspired. I want to create beauty and help others release their creativity too. I want my heart to sing like a bird, even with out the words. I want my heart to expand, my body to be optimally healthy,and my life to amaze me , as I forgive everything inside that is a barrier and everything outside or inside myself or others that that I judge . I want to be love made visible and live forma loving heart and express gratitude as much as possible. Thank you Susan for asking this most important question.I saw that I learned to block love from coming in, what a lonely way to live, what a prison. I am busting out. Breaking the chains, taking deeper breaths and deeper risks. I have been dragging the grey clouds around most of my life.I have been terrifying myself with all kinds of dark stories, an I am not those stories! Welcome bright clouds of unknowing this useless draining habit! I want to trust, deeply trust that I can heal,and enjoy the journey, let it flow!
I see a huge flower right now and we are all the petals! I even thank the mud at our roots! Thank you all for your comments, I learn and expand a little from each one! Encouragement, how beautiful, how powerful Aloha, Linda

Thanks for this Susan,
I have decided that every day I want to set a goal that I can achieve. Some are ones that I want to be part of every day like I want to:-
– laugh
– find joy in the simplest most boring tasks
– to see love in all there is around me.
Others are more diffficult and today I want to work with a difficult colleague and sincerely treat her with love and understanding.

Just allow your love to dissolve and release the anger.
And as thee Beatles sang, all there is is love,

I love the first three goals, certainly easily doable and they will make life much more enjoyable.
