Falling in love under the mistletoe …
From a reader: “It’s almost Christmas, and unless I fall madly in love in the next couple weeks, I’m going to be alone for the holidays. I’m in hot pursuit of mistletoe!”
Now and again โ usually around the holidays, friends getting married and company parties โ we get motivated (mostly by our egos and what people think) to find a sweetheart pronto. No problem. Infatuation only needs a few seconds. And, it tastes like a bite of heaven.
Somebody finds us irresistible and quickly develops an insatiable appetite for us. They are interested in every word we have to say, aware of every little movement we make and want to spend every waking moment with us. Finally, somebody recognizes us in all of our glory!
Well, sort of. What they really see is their own salvation. We all have this innate, albeit mostly unconscious, longing to return to the paradise of the womb, where we are connected to both our mothers and the ultimate source, our needs are seamlessly met, nobody’s picking on us and everybody loves us.
Infatuation seems to make everything OK; it gives us somebody to warm up with in the cold, somebody to call when the plane’s late, and somebody to love us when nobody else does … somebody to love us even when we don’t love ourselves.… More
Dear Friends …
As you probably know, my last book was about choosing love over fear. That concept helps me keep life simple.
Love gives birth to spirit. Fear gives birth to ego. And that’s precisely why we can trust spirit, but not ego. Love leaves no room for deception. But fear is the source of all deception.
We bought into the lie that we weren’t good enough. And we surrounded ourselves with armored walls, intended to protect us from rejection. Those same walls protect us from being known, though. And we can’t feel loved until we feel wholly known.
Our epic challenge is to hold nothing back. Our epic destiny is to be real, to be who we are, to be spirit, to be love.
And there are moments when we get our arms around that truth and feel it. We know we ARE love! And we know love is enough. But we get distracted by sparkle and bravado and think maybe we’re missing something. We get scared that we ARE missing something.
That fear is all it takes for our authenticity to slip, for our satisfaction with life to slip … because fear pushes love aside. Let’s remember to choose love, to trust spirit.… More
