Aloha everyone,

My dad died Tuesday. At times he was a difficult man. I used to have a story about my childhood that was filled with abuse and violence. Then I began my spiritual journey. I worked the twelve steps of a 12 step program and I used the tools of awareness, transformation and intent as I moved beyond forgiveness and into gratitude, wonder and awe. Life is an amazing journey in which we get to see our filter system and if we choose to pursue personal freedom let it all go and step into love.

Life is and then we tell ourselves a story. As I sat at my dad’s bedside watching him slowly transition I had many insights. Perhaps the most profound was the fact that all he ever wanted was to be loved.

What a gift it was to be able to see my dad as he truly was rather than how I had learned to think he was. He wasn’t a cruel man but rather a gentle loving soul struggling to live in this crazy world. He never had the gift of realizing life is an illusion and that all we ever experienced is our filter system until the very end.

I am so grateful I can now see my dad’s love and his gentle spirit and totally release all my stories about anger and abuse. Perhaps next time I want to react it will be far easier to respond from love instead. Life is too precious a gift to hold onto stories about the past that only hurt us. It really is never too late to have a happy childhood.

My childhood sent me in search of freedom and the ability to love and it taught me to find true happiness instead of settling for the illusion. That is an incredibly precious gift and I thank you dad for helping me find it!

With love, gratitude, happiness, joy and sadness,
Susan

Aloha everyone!

I’ve gotten a few questions about what exactly the art of allowing
is and I thought the best way to explain and help you with this and
similar concepts I teach would be to do it in a live webinar.

I’ll talk more about this concept and how you can use this idea to
have greater peace and joy in your life.

You’ll find out more about some of the following concepts and I’ll
be answering questions about:

Unconditional Self Love
How to Follow Your Passion
How to Allow for the Possibility
How to Stay Centered in the Midst of Fear

And anything else you have a question about that we can cover in
about 1 hour. There is a box on the the link where you can leave a question ahead of time. I will answer as many of them as possible.

If you’ve been wondering what the art of allowing is all about,
join in on Sunday when I’ll be teaching about allowing and loving
and so much more . . .

EVENT: The Art of Loving and Allowing

One of the first exercises Miguel gave me was to watch people, without judgment by simply paying attention to their energy. I spent hours developing that skill. I would sit with my eyes closed and practice feeling people approach. My favorite place was a bench at Sea Life Park. Eventually I got to the point I could tell how many people were approaching, whether they were male or female, a couple or adults with children.

I am currently sitting at the airport watching people as I wait for my flight to Mexico City. Airports are such a fascinating place. To think that flight was thought impossible for eons and here I sit watching planes land and take off. There are people going to places all over the globe.

What do you think is impossible in your life that you would enjoy experiencing? On my home computer I have iGoogle as my home page. Yesterdays quote was something to the effect that failure is just the opportunity to deepen your understanding of what doesn’t work so you can make better choices in the future. In other words we can expand our awareness and make choices that are more in alignment with what we do want.

Where would you like to go? What places would you like to visit on this incredible planet and in your inner world? Watch yourself and decide if you are the person you want to be, with loving acceptance and not judgment.

I am looking forward to helping people deepen their understanding of this world, to really experience everything as a vast energy system. As we travel around Mexico for the next few weeks they will have many opportunities to experience lots of different energies. I never thought I would be leading sacred power journeys when I was a child. And the adventure all began by me taking the suggestion to expand my awareness by watching people.

When I return from Mexico I will upload some of the images from this incredible trip. In the mean time practice watching people through the eyes of love and see what happens in your life!

With love and aloha,
Susan
