Dear Lightworker

Dear Lightworker,

The world needs you, it needs you to rise up and wake up and realize how wonderful and marvelous you are.

You are love. You are light. You are what the world needs. Once you awaken and you are it, you don’t need to do anything.

Your presence comforts the world.

They can feel your love, your compassion; its unconditionality is soothing in a world full of rules and strings and formulas.

You love them because of who they are, because you know that their essence is your essence, that we are all parts of a whole.

You are free because you know who you are. You are love because you are who you are.

You offer love to the world, you hold it in your unique container. There will be those who judge your container, because they are projecting their own fears and anxieties in reaction to your container. They may or may not be able to receive what you have to offer, but if your Presence exudes peace and love they will feel the divine touch, it will reach them and warm the edge of their souls.

You are here for this. You were born for this. Everything in your life has brought you up to this beautiful moment of now, of being here, right now, in this beautiful, beautiful moment.

Breathe. Allow your soul to be at peace. Practice the holy instant of realigning with Love with a thought. With a quick feeling, a simple wordless thought, you align and connect with the boundless, abundant loving power of the universe, of the spirit and energy that is around us and surrounding us.

Many do not see it, but that is not your worry, when you find yourself judging the state of the world, slowly zoom out your perspective and relax your mind a bit to let go of time, picture yourself sitting cross legged surrounded by the stars of the universe and imagine that a much bigger loving intelligence sees from a much bigger perspective and that at some vantage point, love is the ultimate truth. Imagine that your soul and every other soul on earth knew the primary difficulties it would have on earth. Imagine that your soul and all of the others, that they all knew and agreed, that they came down to an imperfect world to have a beautiful experience of healing and growth, accepting the nature of the physical world, the current state of humanity, and the complex nature of challenge, pain, growth, and joy.

Imagine that part of this process is forgetting what was known and agreed upon, and arriving as a helpless baby, with years of development ahead of developing a personality before even beginning to rediscover their soul that had been with them the entire time.

Dear beautiful, sweet lightworker, this is what it means to trust the universe. You have a path but you also have free will. The free will of your soul helped set you on your path, and it is your path to walk.

You can ask for assistance and guidance. You are surrounded by all kinds of divine assistance reading and waiting to guide and aid. But you can also choose at times to simply follow your heart, follow your joy, listen to your intuition, feel into the call of your soul. What gives you joy, when you allow yourself to admit it? What are your true feelings when you allow yourself to have them? These clues point to your true self, to your divine soul, to the path that you co-created for yourself with spirit outside the bounds of time.

Listen to spirit, and listen also to yourself. Trust spirit and choose also to trust yourself.

You are beautiful. Life is beautiful. The world in all of its imperfections is perfectly perfect from the timeless perspective of spirit. Allow yourself to abide in love, to rest in the knowing of a bigger picture. Expand your awareness to feel the universe caring for the universe. And then bring your perspective back in tight, allow everything that is to be, and then listen to your own call inside your core that is whispering who you are, what you are about, why you are here, and what you are doing next.

Breathe in tapping into love, breathe out tapping into trust, and then allow yourself with joy, in flow, to fully embrace your Next step, to live in the Moment, to feel the Joy of being alive. Then do the work, take your next step.

This is being a Lightworker.

Dear Homeschooling Mom

Letters, Motherhood, Parenting, Spirituality

I applaud you. I salute you. I adore you. My heart beats as one with you. Don’t ever stop, just keep going.

Your mission is sacred.

You have divine assistance ever ready to support you when needed. All you have to do is ask.

I prayed for years to join you. And now I am one of you. It’s been several months now. I just got my second ever homeschooling approval letter in the mail. It’s official; we’re set to homeschool for our first full school year starting this fall.

It’s interesting to have all the kids all summer knowing that there is no ‘relief’ in the fall, there is no break, no end, this is the new normal. Me. The kids. Doing life together.

And yet no relief was greater than getting that letter in the mail after sending in my letter of intent and our test scores as required by the state.

And yet it’s intense. There is always someone talking to me, touching me, interrupting me, questioning me. Someone is always eating, or pooping, or arguing, or talking.

Some days it is just intense and real, and I make it through. But some days it’s just heavenly and those are becoming more and more frequent. We’re learning how to get along, how to do life together. We’re finding routines, co-creating our days, our schedules, our outings, even our menu.

And then the fear returns. They are fun and wonderful and getting along, yes. But they take so much time, when will I ever work?

When will I write, when will I record videos, will they ever all sleep consistently on the same schedule? Please?

But then I remember to choose faith, to choose love, to choose hope, to believe in mission, purpose and alignment.

What has God put on your heart, for your children, for yourself?

I believe you can find alignment there, and a sense of peace and joy, that will give you a sense of purpose and alignment. And which in turn will give you an acceptance and ownership of your life. And that will revolutionize your use of your energy and your relationship with time.

Which in turn changes – everything.

Dear homeschooling mom, don’t ever give up. Yours is a sacred, holy mission, a beautiful task. Know this, you have everything you need to succeed, and whatever God has put on your heart in addition, a way will be made for you to do all that truly matters, all that you are meant to do and be, you will be given divine capacity for the task.

I have friends who work and homeschool. Knowing them bolsters my faith, as I hope to now lift yours.

You have the time and energy and creativity for everything you wish to do. Learn to listen to yourself, so you know what that truly is. Then really listen to your kids so you know what matters to each of them, and what really doesn’t.

Find what is true for you and your family. It doesn’t matter what other families juggle. What is important to you, to your husband, to the kids?

What are you doing just because?

Figure it out and stop doing it, and give yourself permission to find more time for the stuff that makes your heart sing, and then give yourself permission to make money doing it, if you want.

Your mission is sacred, God is your ally, and I am your biggest fan.

You’ve got this, momma, you’ve so got this.

With all my love,
Alicia

My Letter to You

Inspiration, Letters, Motherhood, Parenting, Spirituality

Daughter, sister, friend,

I see you, I know you, I was you. I love you.

I see your struggles, your heartache, your frustrations, your hope. I know you know there is a better way but sometimes you despair of ever finding it.

I see you shopping for groceries, paying the bills, learning new skills, finding time for real talk with your husband, having those challenging conversations with your kids.

I see you in those quiet moments, I feel your determination, your desperation, to find a better way, to make a change, to create a life for your family, that is more, more than you have now, different than you had growing up.

I see you doing dishes, listening to podcasts, reading books, networking on Facebook, going to church, looking for friends, trying to pray.

I see you looking for answers, unsure where to go, where to look, where is safe, who can you trust. I’m here to help you, and I love you.

I know you love your husband, your heart hurts for his struggle, the burden he carries to provide. I know your love for your kids, and all your hopes and fears and dreams for them. I know that deep down you despair of knowing what beliefs you can confidently pass onto them.

I know that education opened your eyes to the world but also burdened you with knowledge, and debt. I know you see things you don’t know how to grapple with. I know you see the effect of the culture and yet you still fall under its sway. It feels like an uphill battle, going upstream with a small paddle.

I know your struggle with technology, with food, with business, with always striving to make everyone happy. I know that church gives you a high of spirit and relationships for a moment but then leaves you empty. I’ve been there too.

I know you feel shaky in your faith and wish you could find solid ground. I know you feel the tug of your soul, your heart lights up when you make and create, and you despair of having enough time for your art, and your family, and your home, and your own well being.

I’m here to tell you that work life balance is not a myth, and that you can change your relationship with every aspect of your reality – time, money, family, faith, kids, marriage, health, self.

And it starts with a transformation of faith. You’re going to rediscover God in a way that is real to you, so real you can feel it in your bones.

God is alive and well and calling us all forward into a new dispensation of his grace. Science is illuminating the spiritual. The divine is revealing itself to us in new and fresh ways.

You can find solid ground, and integration of faith and practice. You can have an understanding, an experience, a faith so flexible and yet solid that you can teach it to your kids.

You can discover your own true power, a power greater than you ever realized you had. And yet that is so truly you and a part of the you that is you, that once you find it, you feel like you always knew it to be true. On a deep level you always knew you were so much more than the shell, the shadow, the small version of yourself, of your life that you’ve been living.

You are more than your past, than your mistakes, than your successes. You are more even than your current hopes and dreams for your future. You are so much more than you can conceive in this moment.

You are beautifully, mysteriously, powerfully good, and strong, empowered and inhabited by the divine energy and wisdom that created the universe, and it’s time to reclaim the truth of who you are.

Your single most important task is this remembering. Your world, your friends, your family, they need you to remember, to recover the forgotten truth of who you are.

Together we will help you remember and recover your identity and through it, your power.

And when you do, I promise you that everything will change.

You’ll do work that makes your heart sing, that doesn’t feel like work, and you’ll have time in the transition for everything.

And as you build your foundation, you’ll retire your husband and teach your kids and pour into others and sit in stillness with yourself. You’ll have time for it all and abundance overflowing.

Because God is here, working in and through and with us. All we need to do is answer the call, be receptive, seek alignment, and expect goodness, love, joy and abundance.

Let go of Resistance, seek Assistance. Your desire is enough.

Let go of your fear, and embrace Faith. Embrace the love that flows into and out of your soul.

We received a tainted religious tradition and a wrecked culture driven by greed and fear, that feeds on the innocent and tempts us into lives of addiction and consumption.

We now declare that this ends here, with us. We will embrace love and the renewing of our minds. We will press into spirit and find our true power. We will learn and grow and thrive and remove our inner blocks. We will fight the fight of our mind and emotions. We will battle resistance and fear and greed.

So that our children can know a different world, can be raised in a lighter, better world, have a deeply empowering perspective on life that allows their generation to create a radically better world that matches the transformation of their inner lives.

We commit to healing ourselves so that our children can start with a fresh perspective, a new paradigm of Spirit and Truth. We align with the divine, all encompassing source of love that is God, and set our intention to embrace the transformation God intends for us, so that our children can be free of our blocks and limiting beliefs, with the freedom to live at a higher level, to partner with God in the ongoing evolution of humanity, the positive moral arc of history.

We now declare that it ends with us. We must rise up, we must meet the challenge, rise to the occasion, fight our own demons, conquer our resistance, embrace our power, and offer healing to the world. In all of this we are not alone, our victory will come through the assistance of our inspired imagination powered by love, we no longer work from a striving placed relying on our own willpower.

As we first heal ourselves and each other we will cleanse the energy of our homes, changing our language and our thoughts, our actions, our emotions. We choose to radically transform our hearts and thus our environments so that our kids can learn a better way at a younger age. They will stand on our shoulders and call us blessed.

They will embody the next stage in human evolution, in the beautiful picture of truth, beauty and grace that the divine in us is calling us forward into.

A Letter to a Blogger with a Mission

Letters, Self Care, Spirituality

I’m dedicating this post to an incredible lady I met yesterday. You know who you are.

Dear friend,

I’m writing to encourage you to undertake the endeavor which you explained to me at length during our first meeting yesterday.

You have a beautiful vision, and a gift lying dormant inside of you. Do not let your age, or your health, or your schedule stop you.

Because people need your message. A message of hope, of joy, of personal triumph in the midst of pain.

I do not understand, and can never fully know, what your audience experiences day to day. But you can, you do. You know, you’ve been there. You’ve lived it and conquered it, and continue to in the midst of daily trials to take ownership of yourself, to exert your joy, to decide how you will look at life.

You see the light shining through the clouds, the flower in the rainstorm.

Thinking about how to encourage you makes me wish I was a poet. How do I describe the feeling I feel as I think about your mission and the effect that I see you will have on people?

You are a leader. So lead. But not as others lead, as you would lead if you freed yourself to follow your dreams and meet the needs that you see.

You are surrounded by an invisible tribe of comrades, allies, friends and fans. As you open that place and begin to voice your message, they will appear, drawn to the light of your words, your voice, the light that is your life.

I beg of you, start writing. Sit down and ask yourself, ask your heart, “What do I truly wish to say?” and then don’t think, don’t second guess, don’t analyze. Just write.

Every day.

When someone like you, who is beginning to awaken, feels the urgency of life, feels the call to serve and to lead, when you choose to answer, to take ownership of your gift, to begin to put pen and words to paper – miracles start to happen.

As you write from your heart, you’ll see words that you know were not meant for you alone. So you’ll put them out there to the world. And you my friend, you have a unique bond with your audience. When you write from your heart, and write the encouragement, the uplifting message that they need, you will paid immediately in joyful gratitude by your readers.

Because here is someone who understands what they are going through. You know it, you live it. And yet you do not let it conquer you. You are in charge of your life, and your thoughts and your emotions.

You choose to interpret your life and give it meaning, and as you focus on all that is good, and express joy and gratitude, as you write and live and share from that place, you will not only inspire others.

You will free them. You will free them to see their life differently, to consider a different perspective on their life story. Your inner strength and force of will to find the good will release in them the inner power and strength of will to choose to see life differently.

And what is the power of changing how we see our own life story?

I am prepared to argue that it is everything.

Everything stems from what you believe about yourself, what you tell yourself about your life.

So go dear friend, and write.

Share practical tips and wisdom as well, never discount the impact of a small idea that helps them sleep better, or eat better, or do any small but significant life activity.

Share the practical stuff, the fun stuff, even the silly, lighthearted stuff, follow your heart and look to your own personality for ideas and content, in order to make it truly yours. Nothing is off topic if it brings your own heart joy to share it.

But always come back to your core message of hope and light. Determine in your heart that you will take time regularly, to slow down, to meditate, and then to share deeply from your soul the message that you know is the core of your mission.

When you do that, you will impart freedom to your readers, and truly liberate them to change their story, to find the courage to embark on their own mission, their own creative journey.

Write, dear friend, write.

If you want to know what inspired this style of writing for me, go read something by Steven Pressfield. If in doubt, start with Do the Work.

Dear mom, we see you.

Letters

When you feel like quitting but you press through, when you’re patient with your children, when you clean up their messes, when your heart lights up at their smile, when you despair at the continual messes they leave behind, do you feel like no one knows, no one notices, no one cares?

We do. We see you. We care, and we are in awe of your devotion, your compassion, your perseverance, and your steadfast love for your children. We may not always say it, but we see your continual alertness and your never-ending sacrifice. Your work matters, you matter.

We may not express it very well, but listen for it when your husband kisses your cheek and offers to take the kids for the evening, when your friend tells you that you’re doing a great job, when your toddler shares his toy with you, when your baby smiles in her sleep, and when the clouds reflect the sun’s rays into a spectacular sunset.

Motherhood. The word is sacred. It radiates warmth, joy, love, security, sacrifice, hope, peace, unconditional love. All because of you, because of me, because of every mom who devotes every day to nurturing the little ones entrusted to her from above.

Every young mom lives in that strange space in between who she used to be and who she will become. Your life used to be your own, it is no longer. And yet your new identity feels unseen, unappreciated, unobserved and perhaps even unimportant.

Dear mom, your life is none of those things. You are seen and appreciated, everything you do as a mom is observed and important.

You must know, I need you to know, that we see you, and we know. You are part of the universal sisterhood of mothers, and we don’t need to know you to know you, or to see you to see you.

When we see you for a moment in the store or for an afternoon at the park, and we see happy, healthy children, we know what they represent for you. We’ve been there too, maybe just this morning, maybe last year but you are not alone, and you are understood.

Be at peace, breathe. Slow down and enjoy your children. Embrace the mess, and the work and the simple moments of joy. Time will pass and then the season will be over. And you will be seen for who you were and who you have become.

The toddler who drew on your walls will turn into the preschooler who lovingly draws you wonderful artwork. The baby who cried will become the school age boy who gives you daily hugs and asks how to make you coffee.

So know that we see you, and be released and freed in your soul – to see them. Truly see your children. Soak it up and drink it in, savor their uniqueness, feed their soul with your love and your strength.

(This is the key to raising a toddler by the way. You must approach them with the confident security of unconditional love, because they are frustrated with themselves, with reality, with the mismatch between their understandings and their abilities. You are their safe place to grow into themselves, to discover life and their place in it.)

Feel our support, be filled in your soul and let it energize you so that you are no longer empty but full of patience. And hope. And love. Because young children require all of this and the mystery of motherhood is the ability to give of ourselves daily, joyfully, at peace with being seen and unseen.

Dear mom, you are seen and loved. Your children see you, your husband sees you, your Heavenly Father sees you. And your fellow moms see you and we know. We know you as you are, we rejoice in your journey and we share it. We share your successes and your failures and we say yes, this is motherhood.
