Faith vs Fear

Tonight the page in A Course In Miracles reads...

"Put all your faith in it, and God himself will answer you."

This messages is very appropriate for me this evening, as I take a leap towards my passion.

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go......reminds you of a song huh?.....Well, packing didn't come so natural this time around. I found myself procrastinating....even watching TV on my computer...which is very unusual for me! Then it dawned on me that I am packing up to be a world traveler and well it is perfectly normal for my human emotions to be fearful/nervous/and anxious. The good news: The excitement overpowers all of those not so comfortable feelings!!

Tonight the candles are lit and sweet incense is burning as I dedicate these moments in gratitude for having such a wonderful place to call my home for the past 14 months. The Divine Mother Picture of Amma seems to have a special glow....even she is excited for our new adventure!

I'd like to share a spiritual experience I had a few nights ago. I was winding down and treated myself to a bubble bath.....water is very healing and powerful for me! I was playing Deva Premal in the background and had the realization that my sweet soul connection with Coop who has since passed, was so Divinely beautiful because it was like spending that time with God. I believe we are all God and Coop was a channel for me to open my heart and love everyone. I began crying tears of sadness and ultimate joy ( yes it is a strange mixture to experience) when I accepted that Coop came to my life to shed that ray of light and it was time for her to move forward.

The journey has begun my friends.....don't fall asleep and miss it!

Love & Peace,

Erin

A Wrong Turn...Is Simply A New Adventure!

Good Evening Everyone....

Tonight I am blogging from Fairfield, California....My friend Jim and I headed for Northern California this evening....except we headed south-east..... Yes, we made a wrong turn and went quite a ways off the planned course. At that point I could have become upset or frustrated, but I just took it as an opportunity to see more and experience a new adventure. We as human's spend so much time planning every minute of life, that when things go differently as often times they do, a state of anger/frustration/and negative energy take over the body. We go into Ego instantly and the spirit is forgotten.

From my own experiences, I have discovered that when one bad thing happens and we dwell on it, we are unconsciously inviting more negative things to occur. This then begins a cycle of negative energy and I feel it is important to awake to the inner spirit and try our best to take every moment as a new and fun adventure. After all where is everyone in such a hurry to go anyways?

I sit here writing in a state of gratitude for the opportunities of growth and experiences that I have been blessed with. I know this trip is the beginning to my travels and I feel a tremendous amount of inner peace as I have faith that each moment will unfold exactly the way it is supposed to be. I encourage you to look around and feel the peace on the idea that everything is in it's perfect place- even the dent on your car.

I am grateful Jim asked me along on this trip and for our wonderful hostess Phyllis. She is quite the personality and she gets around very well for her physical age of 86. I was honored to be of service and help her clean up the dishes after super and I look forward to another visit with her tomorrow!

There is Divine Beauty everywhere and in everything.....we just have to awaken our hearts!

Peace & Love,

Erin
