MY VACATION

Yesterday, I woke up and said, "My intention today is to take a vacation with Spirit." And so, my day enfolded.

When I am on a vacation, I get to relax. I don't worry about the day-to-day chores and business. I have all the money I need. I get to do what I want to do. The time is spent in the present. What a great idea, but not easy to implement for someone like me. This came on the heels of being told in ministerial class that I need to learn to relinquish control when appropriate. Let go! I thought they were talking about my projects at the Center, but now it came home in a different way...I need to let go to Spirit.

So, this is the way the way the Law works. All day, I was given opportunities to prove my intention to myself. The day ended with being asked to sing and give an impromtu talk at NoHo. I was specially told not to think ahead, but to just let myself flow with Spirit in the moment.

Of course, I started to plan my talk in my head. Then, with each plan I made,I was met with another opportunity to let go. Including the person going before me, using the only quote I had memorized and was going to use.

Finally, it was time to stand up. My heart pounded in my chest. I took the gulp. I let go, the words flowed and I don't remember much of what I said.

After, I was told how succinct I was--how Spirit was, that is. I am learning.

I am going to continue this vacation. It's good for my heart. It's good for my health. It's good for my mind. It helps me to stay in the present. I suggest this vacation spot very highly. It's called at HOME!
