Hello Bright Light!
As I continue the journey of processing my Mother Shirley’s recent passing, my friend Sarah said something that describes one of the challenges of the transitional time after the death of a loved one or any time of major life changes.
She said, “It's such a hard place to try to be productive. Such a big stretching, always listening for the resonance of your loved one. Catching the light rays as they come, not wanting to miss one”.
So, I’m making an effort to be gentle and proactive about my need for quiet, non-productive time. It feels so
important to have space to consciously experience subtle impressions of communication with my Mom’s luminous spirit, freedom to allow my tears to flow, to receive healing insights, and glimpses into the reality of eternal life and love.
I know this transitional moment will eventually pass and I don’t want to miss the opportunity to be present.
I think that it’s hugely challenging for most of us to honor our needs for inner focus and gentleness ALL the time, but especially during the transition period of any major life change.
Think of a time when you experienced a loss and what you did for yourself in the immediate aftermath…..
If you are in a life change right now, big or small, I invite you to join me and allow more space and time periods dedicated to non-productivity, inner focus, gentleness, and body self-care practices.
In the “9 Pathways of the Soul” teachings that I've been discussing over the past few months in this blog, the “Number 7”
represents our human need and capacity to withdraw from outer focus to discover all that is within and to rejuvenate.

My Mom had an on-going spiritual journal writing practice that she called her “Q and A with Holy Spirit”. If you have
the time to read one of her conversations, open your heart and read on! This message is for YOU.
