This blog has been through numerous incarnations.  I tried creating my own website to do this blog in, but need professional help.  :)   So for now, this...

Today I'd like to outwardly honor my "dream" to create Art and Healing space in my basement.  Perhaps this small token will keep me on task?  There are so many ideas in my head.  So many supplies to be organized.  So much to do, I get overwhelmed.  Then do nothing.  Sound familiar? 

So I've drawn a card from Cheryl Lee Harnish's deck, Return of Spirit:  "Up"

Here's what it says: Time to lift your eyes off the ground and start looking up towards the heavens.  Keeping You down and trying to be small isn't doing anyone any favors.  This world needs you--- the real you.  Low self-esteem and self-worth is impeding your perception of who and what you really are.  It is also affecting your ability to put yourself out into the world.  There is a whole other life, waiting inside you, crying to be lived.  The only thing standing in your way is you.  

The Universe sees you and knows you as a Divine spark of the All.  They are calling you now to begin embracing that aspect of yourself too.  Stand up, hold your head up, and begin looking at the ways in which you dis-empowering yourself.  It's time to start building your own personal sense of value and your own sense of worth.  Spirit knows this is not an easy task, which is why they have brought you this message today.

Every time you feel you are not enough, look up to the heavens and know the entire Cosmos is supporting you on this.  When you see the sky above you, let that be your reminder that you are more than enough.  You are God incarnated.  And the only one who can give you value and a sense of worth is you.  

There is nothing your guides and angels want more than to see you step into the truth of who you really are.  Start looking at the good within you, the value you actually do have, and the difference you really make.  Start to see yourself as the Universe sees you.  Human is what you are wearing on the outside.  Inside, you are a brilliant Light of Divine Source. Remember who you are. 

My thought about this card is that it is timely. Just last night, I explored these thoughts with my heart.  The healing modality I know is called Reiki.  The word means "Universal Life Force Energy".  I actually can experience myself as this "brilliant Light of Divine Source" when I consciously connect with it.  It feels more like I am fully integrated with this Source of all Life, that this abundance is all around and emanating from me.  It's a very large feeling and seems to carry a lot of responsibility.  I am learning to honor and remember this is who I am.
