When I was a little girl, I was terrified of the dark. I would dread the lights being shut off at bedtime. As the room was swallowed in darkness, I would hide under my covers, sweat beading down my face, until I fell asleep. On the rare occasion, I would muster up all my courage, stuffed animals held tightly, and slowly, hesitantly, poke my head out from under my protective covers.
Do you think what the Darkness holds will be put off by hiding?
Or will hiding provoke the Darkness even more?
What is in that Darkness that holds so much power?
At what point is there a shift in your power wherein your Soul wants to LIVE AGAIN and is courageously allowed to lead once more?
As this amazing, most powerful year comes to a close, celebrate the evolution that has transcended anything we could have foreseen. We stand now in the presence of the Light shining on the unraveling root fears of the world. The fear of Death in all its forms. Death of a relationship, death of a career, death of a loved one, death of a mindset, death of societal institutions, and so on. Allow this unraveling through the act of Surrender.
Surrender. This is a soul lesson that we all must move through - personally and collectively. We hear this term often in the mainstream. However, surrender does not always mean surrender into a peaceful, forgiving place. Quite often surrender is uncomfortable, challenging, and grief-provoking. When we surrender what we wanted or what we thought things would be, just allowing them to be what they truly are doesn't feel so good (because we want them to be something else). However, when we let go and accept the reality in front of us, this is the true beginning point of transformation. The opening into acceptance and then change. From this honest place of surrendering to our reality, we can then begin to make wise and evolved choices moving forward.
Just the knowing that we are being held is enough to muster up our courage. Come out from your protective covers and LIVE AGAIN!
Forgive, engage, and stand up together. Allow Love to be at the core of all you do. Heal, renew, and shine the Love and Light of Spirit in our world.
CELEBRATE that which within you and around you is Holy and Pure. Offer kindness and compassion because it matters.
Humbled and with gratitude we release 2020 and openly, with hope in our hearts, we welcome 2021!
With Loving-Kindness,
Debra

Love the one you're with" Stephen Stills
