I trust, as always, that this post finds you in Divine health, peace, harmony, and abundance.
Spirit Works Beyond Our Plans
Despite my initial intention to post here on the blog every week, it has been a little over three months since my last post.
And that is something that I have mixed emotions about.
On the one hand, I know that all is well and that everything is unfolding according to a perfect pattern and design. That there is a Divine meaning and purpose to everything. Even to this involuntary pause.
On the other hand, I do not like not honoring my commitments, and as a result, I am experiencing a sense of guilt and a sense of letting you (the readers and followers of this blog) down.
However, as God moves us with little regard for our own small and personal plans and time tables, I choose to witness, embrace, and allow the egoic shame and blame that I experience, to be what it is - and trust that All is well - even here and now.
My last post was written in a park overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in a warm and sunny Spain, where my family and I spent a year.
As we are now back in Sweden, the first draft of this post is being written in our apartment, in the chilly Swedish fall, with the rain pouring down from the cloudy sky outside.
It has been three months, but it feels like a decade.
The memory of me sitting in the park against “my” tree, looking out over the magnificent Atlantic Ocean, seems more like a vague dream than an actual memory.
We got back to Sweden almost three months ago now, and even though we were moving back to the country we have been living in for all of our lives, coming back proved more challenging than I could have ever imagined.
However, as this post is not about that particular journey and adventure, I will not go into much detail about that right now.
But while it felt as though we were being haphazardly tossed and turned upon first arriving back in Sweden, as a sense of normality and stability is now emerging in our lives, I can begin to see the perfect design and orchestration behind those experiences clearly.
Perfect Preparation And Unfolding Is Always Happening
This past week, I, for the first time coming back to Sweden, had the time to slow down, come to a stop, and just be.
And in those moments of stillness and silence, what I call “breathing spaces”, I could see the perfect preparation and unfolding that is, and always was happening.
For instance, I was able to become aware of a “chance” encounter 17 years ago that led to an on-and-off collaboration that has lasted over the years and that is now turning out to be a seasonal cornerstone of our new life here.
And the wonderful experience I had in Spain, where I virtually didn't need to work at all for that whole year, and how that has profoundly shifted my perspective and desires as to what I want my life to be about. In a dramatic contrast to the life I used to lead prior to leaving Sweden. A life where I worked “way” too much.
So while it is easy for us to judge our experiences as good or bad, to dwell on thoughts on what should and should not be, from a higher vantage point, everything is working for our Highest Good.
All of our experiences help us become ever-increasingly clear on the beautiful life we wish to lead. So that we can begin to articulate and describe that life, begin to feel it done and happening, and then witness and observe as it begins to take shape in our lives.
And all of this is happening, not always according to our desires and plans, but always happening according to a divinely perfect design and orchestration.
The Intention/Vision That Is Pulling Me
I know I have shared it before, but as it is becoming more and more prevalent and clear in my life, I want to share it again. The intention (which is now also becoming a vision) that is pulling me is to Live A Simple, Peaceful, And Quiet Life - Unbound By Time And Place.
I have had this intention for a number of years, but it wasn’t until we moved to Spain that I really and fully began to understand what it meant.
Before that, it was more an inner desire and longing for a life of and in stillness and quietude. But as I was blessed with the opportunity to spend my days and time in Spain pretty much any way I wanted, I now have direct personal experience of what this simple, peaceful, and quiet life really means. What it looks like.
I now have a vision, not just an inner feeling tone, of the life I want to have, and this vision/intention is allowing me to make choices that are more and in higher alignment with that.
I am becoming clearer in my Yes and what I need to choose and say yes to. And that clarity also allows me to become increasingly clear on what it is I need to say no to.
A case in point; just this week, I chose to step away from a project I initiated a few months ago, because of this increased clarity.
I realized that while this project would have been of great service and value to people around the world, moving forward with it was not in alignment with the simple, peaceful, and quiet life, unbound by time and place, I want to and need to lead.
I realized that committing to this project would decrease my sense of freedom, as it would add more responsibilities and obligations to my life, as well as more activities to my calendar, rather than clearing and cleaning it up.
And so, at this point, it was not in alignment with the beautiful life I want for myself.
All this to say, that I am profoundly grateful that I stuck with my intention to live a simple, peaceful, and quiet life for all those years, even when I didn’t really know what that meant.
And now, because of all of my previous experiences, I am perfectly prepared and positioned to expand my Yes to this intention that has now even become a vision.
And as I continue to say Yes to it, and as I continue to cultivate and hold the feeling tone that it is already done, that it is possible, and that it is happening now, Spirit and the Sacred Laws will beautifully and powerfully guide me along the path of its demonstration.
Moving Forward With This Blog
So what about this blog? Where does it fit into all of this, and how will it move forward?
My original intention for this blog still stands. I want it to be a personal sharing of my journey. I want it to be open, honest, and authentic. Vulnerable and relatable.
It is my intention to post at least once a week, combining written posts like this one with video posts.
I believe this blog will serve me very well in helping me bring clarity and insights as to how to move forward..
As I began to write about before we left Spain, money is a major key to me living this simple, peaceful, and quiet life, unbound by time and place.
Historically, I have traded my time for money, but in order for a new kind of life to emerge, my relationship with money, as well as my perceptions, beliefs, thoughts, and ideas about myself and money, will need to be upleveled and transformed.
It is my intention to use this blog as a journal of sorts, so that that healing and transformation may occur.
And while I am not seeking to make a big splash in the world, I know that there are so many individuals who are struggling with money and finances.
And so, while being in alignment with my vision and what I am moving toward, it is my hope and intention that this blog will serve others along their path to freedom. Financial or otherwise.
However, there will be one major change moving forward where this blog is concerned.
Up until this point, I have offered a free subscription plan and a paid subscription plan, with some content exclusive to paid subscribers. However, starting now and moving forward, this blog will be fully and completely free.
The paid subscription plan will still remain in effect, though, so that those who want to show and offer support may have the option to do so, either on a monthly or yearly basis.
But there will no longer be exclusive content for those who choose to subscribe to the paid plan.
In the next week or so, I will also begin to make the content that was previously exclusive to the paid plan available to everyone.
Two Main Takeaways
I think the main key takeaways here are:
To have a big vision, dream or intention for our lives. Something that we are consciously and actively moving toward, rather than just letting the world and external conditions toss and turn us in whichever direction they will.
To come back to that unconditional trust and surrender that is one of the Pillars of Freedom. To trust that even in the midst of seeming turmoil and so-called bad experiences, Spirit has not dropped the ball.
God is still here, God is still Good, and Everything is still working for our Highest good.
We can always trust that this Benevolent Loving Presence that is all there is and that always for itself is still sourcing, fueling, and funding us, still guiding, leading, and moving us according to our Highest Good.
We can still trust that even in the midst of this, perfect preparation and unfolding are always happening. That we are not able to see or understand it, let alone feel it, makes no difference whatsoever.
So rather than resisting and fighting against our external circumstances and conditions, we are always wise to embrace and allow that which is and continue to make choices that are in alignment with our big and mighty vision, dream, or intention.
We are wise to keep our attention on the good we wish to experience and allow Spirit to demonstrate that good in, as, and through us and our.
And to give perpetual thanks for everything in our lives.
All is Well Now, Always, and Forever.
Invitation
So the invitation for this post would be just that. For us to:
Ask ourselves if we are moving toward the good we wish to experience. Are we making choices and living our lives in alignment with that good, or have we strayed and are now headed in a different direction?
Become aware of where we are resisting or trying to fight against any external condition or circumstance.
Where are we holding onto thoughts and judgments as to what should and should not be?
Or in other words, where are we giving in to fear rather than trust?
And when we become aware of that, we are invited to ask ourselves what the story behind and underneath the fear is, which at the core always is a sense of lack or separation.
Once we have become aware of that, we can then begin to tell ourselves a new story. A beautiful story about all the good we wish to experience, not as something that may or may not happen in some future moment, but as something that is already here.
We tell that story, we give thanks for it, and we seek to take on the feeling tone that it is already happening.
So that the Sacred Laws may work through us to bring that into manifestation here in this dimension.
