Innocence
I have found this past year as I was working on releasing judgment, it takes great courage and great faith to look upon my creations, my thoughts, my feelings, my manifestations - WITH LOVE - AND WITH THE INNOCENCE OF A CHILD.
My dear sweet grandson has gifted me with this remembrance; I see his pure innocence before he is taught otherwise.
I want to remember that we are ALL INNOCENT; ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE HURT ME..I want to remember we are all the SAME on the inside.
My hearts desire this year is to work with deep radical forgiveness of self and hopefully this forgiveness of self will extend to those I have not totally forgiven.
Another heartfelt desire for me is to remember "what is happening in my life is not happening to me but for me!"
As all of you move through your creations, your thoughts, your feelings, your manifestations, maybe consider doing it with the Innocence of a child - with Love.
Thank you everyone for 2015 and may 2016 bring you the peace you are seeking!

Thank you Vicki! Peace to you as well.
Thank you, Vicki! I hope we all grow in inner-peace this new year too. I also agree with Lisa, Peace to you as well.
I think I need to do all of these things too! I work with children who are so full of innocence that it reminds me of how I could be. Happy new year Vicki xxx
If it\'s\"happening FOR us\", what is the purpose of our resisting? If, in fact, it is there to make us MORE comfortable with ourselves, what makes it so difficult to accept the lesson, and change? Why do we resist the gifts?
More questions than answers to start the year. or ; Considering all the progress we made last year, if the trend continues, we\'ll all be improved by the end of the year 2016.
I don\'t have any answers for you, only myself. And what works for me, may not be for someone else. As I was taking a long brisk walk this morning, I kept surrendering resistance to anything I may be resisting. For me, when I am in resistance I am not able to \'see\' the bigger picture.; feel this Loving Presence that I am. I find if I resist my own pain I point fingers at other\'s as it\'s too shaming and too painful to own my own stuff...like I said, that is just me. When I can come clean with (whatever I am in denial about myself; as I feel it is always about myself) it gives me an opportunity to forgive myself. When I can be this open and this self honest, I feel that is being non resistant and when I am non-resistant I feel a connection with my Higher self. If and when I do this, it\'s like a veil is lifted and I feel the True Presence; not one the Ego has created out of fear...Don\'t even know if this makes sense, don\'t really care...it makes me cry (in a good way) and I believe we always cry at TRUTH! XO I found things I am blaming my son for have been in myself BIG TIME...BUT, oh how I want to act like they didn\'t; making me better than him. It\'s taken great courage on my part to be willing to STOP pointing finger outward and look inward...that, to me, is being non-resistant. Gotta go meet my Spiritual Group. I made homemade chicken noodle soup and homemade chicken salad...can\'t wait. Have a blessed day! xo I think I resisted the gifts because I \'I\' just how they should or shouldn\'t be...who do I think I am!!!!!!! :-)
*not they didn\'t..they weren\'t
*because I \'I\' knew how
That \"should be, or shouldn\'t be\" judgment is the biggest resistance to accepting Reality, and the Gift it contains, isn\'t it? Enjoy the chicken noodle soup, and salad!!!
That reminds me; to remember when I\'m anxious about getting WHAT I want WHEN I want it and HOW I want it and the WAY I want it (like with my car and practice) to stop as soon as I can and accept what then transpires, without judgments.
Yes...and for me ALL my \"should be, or shouldn\'t be\" is coming my past experiences....which aren\'t necessarily a good thing to base the moment on!!!!! Luv you and Happy New Year! As Kermit the Frog says \"It ain\'t easy being green.\" This newness/new way of thinking is not easy at times...gotta scoot! xo
something you said touched off a thought for me ...namely about the \'shoulds and shouldn\'ts\'. For sure our past experiences are part of our conditioning and as you say....\'not the best way to go through life \' when it comes to reacting or feeling or acting. For me these old \'shoulds\' are pretty subtle and I have found it takes awareness to catch them or see them in order to work at changing them.
happy new year
love & hugs
