Love's Present at Christmas.
I’m still going round the anxiety loop about my shift with the homeless tomorrow. I’m working in the women’s centre and I know I’m going to be meeting really vulnerable people. I’m apprehensive I’m going to get all emotional.
“Maybe I should cancel the shift?!” My mind comes up with a plan. “No!” I counter-argue, “I can’t do that, plus I’ve told loads of people I’m doing it now!” “Well they don’t need to know! You can lie around all day eating chocolate and just pretend you went!” “Yeah, right!” So what am I going to do? I could email all my friends and ask them to send me Love and hold me in their hearts. I meditate for a bit. I ask for so much Unconditional Love this Christmas my heart will be full to overflowing and I will have lots to pass on. And then I get the answer! It’s so obvious and so easy! It’s what all the books have been telling me! The way to get Love is to give Love. I realise I was thinking arse about tit! It’s not about asking people to send me Unconditional Love, it’s about me Loving them Unconditionally and holding them in my heart so I feel the feeling of Love in my body, so much, it inspires my actions and I can pass it on, be a flow-er of Love. I realise how lucky I am to have so many brilliant people in my life whom I am inspired to Love. How great they are to let me have this feeling. How they don’t have to do anything but just be. Unconditional Love makes no requirements or demands. Unconditional Love just is. Unconditional Love means “I Love you, for who you are, right now, in this present moment, whatever your circumstances and whatever you are doing.” Whatever they are doing this Christmas, just by being themselves, they will be with me and they will be helping the homeless too! This whole experience has already taught me, there is no separation between us, there is no “me” no “you” – at our core we are all the same essence, we are all Love. I realise all of my previous struggle was because I was coming from a place of need. I was looking outside of myself for Love, whether it was to my family, my ex, my ex’s family. I wasn’t wrong, I needed to feel Love, it was a deep, primal need. I was just confused about how to meet that need. I was looking outside of myself, the Love was always within. Within “me” and within “you”. Love is always present. I feel so happy. So inspired. The guy who told me about Crisis at Christmas was right! This is already the best Christmas I’ve ever had and I haven’t even started yet! So, to all of my family and friends, to everyone I have ever met who has inspired me, to those of you I’m still to meet and those of you who are leading the way and already connected to the vibe, Thank You for Being You.
