Making Space to BECOME

In the measurement world, we set a goal and strive to achieve it.

In the universe of possibility, we set the context and let life unfold.

~B. Zander

A few years ago, one of my dear friends was coming into town to do a few days of energy work sessions. I had a good friend that needed a session but could not afford it, so I gifted her a session. She was skeptical and leery…but went in with an open mind.

After the session, I went over and asked her: “ How do you FEEL?”…

She took a moment to think and feel then looked up and replied:

“I feel like…. Now…. I have SPACE.”

I asked her what she meant and she told me that after doing this clearing work she felt as if there were FINALY room to grow and progress…the SPACE to move forward.

I have thought about that conversation many times since that day.

We all talk about and strive to “manifest” or “attract” the things / thoughts / beliefs / situations we crave…but what are we RELEASING so that there is SPACE to receive these things we are so desperately calling into our existences? What are we letting go of so beautiful, powerful, NEW things, experiences, knowledge etc. can come in.

Lets go really basic in our thought process for a moment. Lets say you have a piggy bank, and every day you empty your pockets, carefully placing every single penny in the bank. You carefully and with great dedication FILL the bank full of pennies…wow! What an accomplishment!

BUT -- what happens when all of the sudden, you are no longer receiving pennies…instead; there are QUARTERS coming in…or better yet, GOLD DOLLARS? Here comes all of these things you have been working toward, manifesting and attracting…but your bank is so full of pennies that there is no room to keep them.

(And don’t say you would just get another piggy bank…FEEL my analogy here! Grin)

What do you need to do to make space for the bigger, better things that are coming in? You get rid of the pennies!

Life is meant to be an ebb and flow. We receive things in, and we release things out.

We cannot hoard or save for a better day. We are asked to SPEND it…to let it go, to someone else that needs it.

If you are working on creating or attracting a beautiful new wardrobe, (or new sexy panties, right? *laugh) the FIRST thing you need to do is clean out your closet and drawers…so there is ROOM for the new beautiful things you are seeking…RIGHT?

If you are manifesting a new body, you have to get rid of old thought patterns and beliefs about food and exercise…right? That way there is ROOM for new ideas, lifestyle and a new body to COME IN!

If you are working on becoming the woman you want to be…you have to be prepared to release some things.

So my question for today is:

What do YOU need to release to allow “space” to become the woman you want to be?

Thought processes? Beliefs about yourself or others? Habits? Anger? Resentment? Shame? Guilt?

My challenge to us all is to let go of the empty things that fill us so we have SPACE to BECOME.

Take out the trash…make Space.

I Learned...

I spent much of the past weekend reflecting. Quietly waiting for confirmation of my next steps, remembering that I don’t have to KNOW my steps- I just have to have faith to TAKE them.

I created sacred space at my home in the form of a fire pit, we harvested pecans from our beautiful pecan tree, we rested and we soaked in the cool sunlight with friends.

I had an extra day with my kiddos this weekend, which meant we played speed rounds of a new board game and laughed until we held our ribs.

I had intended to write a blog on "Being Gentle"... and to ask who actually CLEANED their underwear drawer...But I will be gentle and NOT ask...*laugh* If you want to tell me your empowering story, I am OPEN though.

However, due to the fact that I was covered in kisses, wood smoke and chocolate for much of the day...*grin* this weeks blog will be something I wrote at the first of the year, as part of a mantra for myself.

I learned:

I learned that we can create our own chaos.

I will create my own peace.

I learned that sometimes, it takes something big to shake people. And sometimes the smallest things can challenge that same person to the core.

I will work on listening when the message is quiet so Spirit doesn't have to yell so loud at me.

I learned that I am surrounded by miracles. I learned that I am a miracle.

I will allow space for unlimited miracles to flow into my life.

I learned that good friends don’t have to live in the same city to come to your side.

I will be a better friend. I will take less and give more.

I learned that sometimes, there is growth and compassion, and sometimes nothing changes.

I will remove judgment and labeling of "good and bad" from my thought process.

I learned that I have the inherent right to dream big. Astoundingly BIG.

I will share my dream and stand in a place of beauty to change the world through strengthening women to believe that there is literally royalty in them.

I learned that we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, but that we are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience.

I will treasure all of the things about this experience, and let my soul breathe.

I learned that "sexy" is psychological and that "smart" is sexy. That when love stares you in the face, you will know. And that I am just as pretty bare faced and hair in a pony tail as I am when I am dressed to the nines ready to go out to a restaurant.

I will be perfectly content in my own skin, alone or with a partner, and I will allow Spirit to direct my evolution.

All while I wear pretty panties and have a clutter free home. *big cheesy grin*
