Today Love Wants You to Know #24

Each incarnation is as they say but a “drop in the bucket." Like the flash of lightning through a star-filled sky is your visit each time. Yes, you are Eternal and there is no death, but each life experience is shorter than the blink of an eye.

Use your time in this incarnation to do and be all that you intended. Love one another with the knowledge that time not only flies, but at the same time can stand still. What does that mean you might ask? When withholding love from another for whatever reason, you have managed to make time stand still. There is no movement, no growth and no enlightenment. As your heart freezes so does that of the other as well as time and space.

Many families “practice” this form of communication-silence; waiting for the other to reach out. One day it is too late as someone has unexpectedly gone Home. As you know, sickness, funerals, and memorials have their way of causing a type of “amnesia” and suddenly all is forgotten. Suddenly there is no longer the fear of rejection. Phones and doorbells begin to ring; mail arrives and all is forgiven.

Do not wait for the day when time is running out or a life has been cut short. Do not wait until you all come together in loss, but instead, come together in Life. Live as if there is no yesterday or tomorrow for as long as you are in this human form, it will always be Today.

You can choose on a heart level to Love in the Now of this very Moment and look forward to the day when the bodies are shed and the Truth is known. That truth is that you are Love and that you are Loved.

The first few lines, are similar to that of this channel, and I am once again amazed to see that I have angelic help when looking for something to accompany these writings, whether it is a photo or a video. Thank you angels.***

Today Love Wants You to Know #23

There was a time you tried to hide the many things that made you unique. For fear of being laughed at or thought of as strange, you did your best to do whatever it took to fit in. You believed being different was a bad thing; that being different not only made you odd, but wrong.

While many realize later in life that it is impossible for all to be the same, there is still some residual worry and parts of the true self remain hidden.

It is time to embrace your "differentness" for that is what we and others love about you. It is your "Youniqueness" that shines and calls to you those who appreciate and admire the beauty of individuality.

Once you can accept and love all that you are, others will not only be drawn to the glow of that love for self, but will also be made aware of their own beauty.

Never be ashamed of parts of yourself that do not seem to match those of another. Know that you compliment each other-gives you more to talk about, explore, learn and love.

It is always better to take the chance of being loved for who you are, than to be disregarded for who you are not.

My Mother, MySelf

***This conversation was put aside and just found again today. I felt it was one that should be shared.***

Dear God,

Can I talk to your Feminine side today? It’s kind of a “girl thing.”

I am good with “girl things.”

I know. And I know that You are You not matter what, but just wanted to tap into your lady parts. Oy…that didn’t sound right.

I understand. “Lady parts” activated.

*I giggle inside*

Well, tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I am not in touch with my mom but did send her a card with a very special little handmade gift that I put my heart and soul into as I created it for her. I sure hope she loves it. It should arrive today. Her mail is always late, so I don’t think she has it yet.

And what is it specifically you want to talk about on the eve of the Day of Mothers?

Not sure exactly. Guess I’m feeling a little sad; probably why I asked you to tune into your “lady parts” for me. It’s not that I feel like a “motherless child” but instead, a daughter without a mother to love. I’ve already healed most of the mother pain and no longer ache for things she can’t give me. I no longer yearn for the love of my fantasies. What is missing now is having a mother “I” can give love too.

And why is that? Why are you out of touch?

Hey, I thought you knew everything. You must know why.

Yes, I do. But in talking about it, you will come full circle into your own answers.

Oh, okay. What happened was a few months ago I had a really bad Vertigo attack; ended up in the emergency. I realized then that I’ve had quite a few less severe ones the past few years but this was a doozy. I knew, in my gut and in my heart, that my relationship with Mom, my unbalanced relationship with her, had finally taken its toll. We “do well” if I keep a lot of my feelings and thoughts to myself. She on the other hand shares all, good or bad yet I am not supposed to have any feelings about these things one way or the other. So, I am to “bite my tongue” most times when in reality it got to the point where I wished I could just cover my ears. Ugh. This is getting too long. Long story over, I had to tell her that I needed to disconnect; that for my health, I needed to pull back.

And how has that felt for you? Was it what you needed?

Oh my God, um...oh my...You, yes. As much as I love her and literally think of her everyday, all that goes with being in touch with her (connects me to family drama) has also left my space. I feel so much lighter, creative, happy, and free-the list goes on.

So what is it you are asking or looking to hear?

I don’t know. You are a mother of many. Guess I just wanted to get a “mother of so many’s” thoughts?

But you, yourself are a mother also.

Yeah, so?

So why can you not go inside to where that mother dwells to have this conversation?

I don’t know; didn’t even cross my mind. You know? I always forget each and every Mother’s Day that it’s “my day” too.

Maybe that is where you can begin to honor your own mother, whether or not you actually speak to or see her, for in honoring yourself, you honor her. Look at all you have accomplished as a mother, all you have given and been to your son and send thanks and love to her for teaching you to be the most perfect mother you could be.

Funny, sounds like you want me to pretend she was Mrs. Cleaver or Mrs. Brady who not only filled me with love and acceptance but taught me how to love my child.

And she did. Oh, not in the way Mrs. Cleaver or Brady would have, but the way she did; the way you “asked” her to.

Yeah, I know what you’re getting at. Something like, all the “good, bad and the ugly” made me the mother I am today. Did I get that right?

You did, but you missed a key point. The way she raised you taught you to be the mother YOU wanted to BE.

*having a WOW moment*

I think this is the first time I've looked at it that way-slight difference, but then again HUGE! It was MORE than just “making me the mother I am today!” It is about making me the mother I always wanted to be; the mother I always hoped I could be...wow-my mother, myself.

Indeed.
