May 18 - Dawn Allen
I was asked at the end of an interview I did this week (just click the link above, if you'd like to listen in...) if I had any parting words for everyone listening… my only comment was, “If we can learn to give ourselves
unconditional love and acceptance, we will then be able to offer it others in our lives. And
with that comes that potential for really unbelievable relationships.”
I feel truly blessed to have the privilege of working with so many of you. One of my
greatest joys in life is
witnessing the transformative changes you so courageously make in your life everyday by showing up to do your "Heart's Work."
Your journeys are what make my life incredibly worthwhile and allow me to stand in my purpose of what
I was brought here to do. It is truly an honor to work with each and every one of you.
This week, I wanted to share one of my favorite essays with you on love by Carrie Hart. Every
time I read it I’m reminded of how self-love is at the core of everything we need to know.
"You are Deeply Loved" by Carrie Hart
It is not necessary to know all the
answers. It is not even necessary to
know all the questions you might ask.
All that is required is that you know
that you are not alone, that you are
surrounded by the hosts of heaven, by
angels and spirits, by love attention.
Know that you are deeply loved.
Go ahead, walk your life. Walk it as a
man or woman walks, solid and centered,
true to his or her own truth. Walk it
making choices and decisions, being as
brave as you can be, opening doors and
saying yes, trying new things, being
open to the newness that flows uninvited
from the world. Hold your head high and
do your very best to shine out unafraid
as you travel the path that is laid out
in front of you.
And as you walk, be certain of guidance.
At any moment, you can take a deep
breath and ask: What shall I do now?
How shall I handle this situation? How
shall I face what I fear is behind that
door?
And in that moment, an answer will come.
Not an explanation, not a way to set
your mind at ease with formulas and
processes, not a map for all the steps
to take. But an answer, an answer that
says: Right now, in this moment, do
this. And that is answer enough.
For in this moment, things are as they
are. It does not matter what happened to
make them as they are. Right now, things
are as they are. This is not a statement
of despair or resignation. This is a
statement of truth, of wisdom. Things
are as they are.
And the blessing is that there is always
a response to things as they are, even
if that response is to sit quietly and
wait for the sun to rise another day,
for the earth to take another turn, for
the moon to pull the tides toward a
strong and brilliant new day.
Have faith in yourself and in the help
that is there for you. Trust that in its
great mystery, the universe knows all
and that this deep knowledge that
contains all that is and is likely to
be, is conveyed to you when you ask your
simple question.
All the wisdom in the world is contained
in a single drop of water as it falls
from the heavens. Hold out your hand and
catch it. Watch it spread and fill your
palm, then your heart, then your life.
Gaze into the deep waters of grace and
know that the answer is there.
And what is that answer? You are loved,
you are deeply loved.
