Leaping through fear into Forgiveness, Gratitude and Deserving!

Monday, December 8th, 2008

So many times I have had days that would have been wonderful blogs. As I have mentioned before I am still taking leaps through my fear of writing. My days have been filled with intense feelings and experiences  as if I had been slammed to the ground and then others thrown so high I am filled with joy and amazement. I have been looking at ALL aspects of myself in my work, my home, my relationships and my children. Big WHEW! Feeling a bit naked and uncomfortable. As I take a deep breath I know that this is a good place to be. Never thought I would think that being uncomfortable would be a good place. When I really look at years past to present I have carried patterns that no longer serve me. I have a glimpse where they rooted, how they have hurt others and held me back.  So many people come in and out of my life yet there are a handful that have REALLY been there to support my growth. Looking at the strength it took for them to give those gentle reminders that I’m “not getting it!” Well, I have a glimpse now and taking action. What is that master key to unlock, let go and know. What is my destiny? I created boundaries that I can now see. I want to let them go into the wind and allow my life to soar.

On one of the most difficult days a friend called about having a chapter in a book out next year on Gratitude. Well, just minutes before I was so upset about life’s bumps. Gratitude? Half laughing and amazed. My first word I ever created in glass was Gratitude. That was about 2 1/2 years ago. In last three weeks I have had 4 request from people feeling they “need” gratitude. Hmmmm think I “needed” it again too? Only took about four knocks till I listened. How many for you? This world is not what it seems……. like the wind that carries the seeds we share from heart to heart a silent awakening. I think I’m listening and then realize that I can’t always hear with all the clutter within my mind.

This week in my glass and wood creations I stepped “into” the journey of what it means to fear-less. The next step was “into” deserving. So many aspects to deserving. Once I took the step I was amazed when I quoted a wholesale price for an item of $19.50 and they called back the next day asking if the price was really $19.50? They want to pay $40.00 Now, how is that for a “BIG KNOCK TO allow DESERVING” into my life.

Ok, I am going to get back to creating. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Testimonials

"We gave the gift bag to a wonderful oriental man at a pet store who was helping us with an aquarium. He was so precious and helpful. He loved the Global Gift Program and understood the ripple effect of the energy exchange. The warmth of his smile and depth of his understanding was our gift in exchange. Thank you Lisa"

"I gave my Global Gift Bag to Kathleen, who saw in the row behind me at the World Wellness Weekend. In spontaneously deciding Kathleen was “the one” to whom I’d gift this beautiful bag and its inspiring contents, I felt myself motivated to help her understand that her natural curiosity about the project was itself a kind of gift for me. To see her asking earnest questions was to sense her reaching out to others - so it was with gratitude that I expressed my appreciation for the opportunity to get to know her, in just the right kind of friendly setting, through her interest in the project."

"After getting tea, I noticed a fellow who looked like the average coffee shop person. It is Sunday, he is nicely dressed reading a book. I intended to find a person at the Harmony Festival who I might connect with. Rather than taking it to the festival and making a new friend - I decided a completely unconditional gift was more powerful. That there not be any attachment at all to some sort of connection. So I found this fellow Randy who looked so unassuming and in his own world reading his book. I gave him both the necklaces so he would hopefully pass the bag on with a second necklace to another stranger."
