Can it be that we are really at the mid-point of our year? How quickly the time flies; or so it would seem.

This is our proclaimed "Year of Significant Living." It is our intent this year to begin creating the space in our lives for powerful growth and the revelation of our essential nature. What we truly have set forth is the idea that who we are, authentically, is more important than anyone else’s idea of us.

Metaphysical teacher Eric Butterworth often spoke of "releasing our imprisoned splendor," and that is just what we have set about to do this year. There is a wonderful gift in each of us, something that is ours to do and to be, and we are stating our willingness to let it come forth.

So, perhaps this mid-point in the year would be a good place to look and see if we are on track to create the change we have yearned for in our lives.

Early in the year, we looked at the questions we could ask ourselves to help us remained centered. Whenever "stuff" comes up, can we stop, take a breath and ask:

Can even this be God?

Do I need to carry this with me any longer?

Who am I being called to be right now?

Wouldn’t it be great if (fill in the blank) were happening right here?

We are asked to accept and embrace the mystery of God in all things. The fact that anything exists at all is truly a miracle, and we remind ourselves to experience that delight, as a child would.

We are asked to begin putting our faith into action, by turning within, to God FIRST, before we step in to "fix it" – whatever IT might be! It is about moving our focus to what we want to experience, instead of trying to fix what is. Because ultimately, as Dr Holmes has reminded us, our task is to be "for something and against nothing."

This does not mean that we are not doing anything. It means that we stop wasting our time fighting with current conditions and have the boldness and daring to imagine NEW ways of living and being in the world.

We are the ones that we have been waiting for. We have the tools, and now is the time. I know the remainder of this year is going to be an amazing and wonderful experience for all of us, as we hold our vision of what CAN be.

Blessings and Love
