Last year, I discovered this meditation and wanted to share it with you. I read it in The Way of the Heart, Lesson 10.

Aha Moments
I love how the Spirit teaches, always loving, which means without judgment. Spirit never says “I’ve told you that 1000 times.” Spirit will say something as if it is the first correction. I have had a couple of experiences or aha moments recently. A friend was waiting patiently for a response to an email in… Continue reading Aha Moments
Last Judgment
Growing up Catholic, I was terrified of my judgment after death. Because of that fear I became stagnant. What if I leave the Catholic Church? What would happen if I left the church? Worse yet, what if I started observing a religion that was not Christian? I was starting to think for myself but was terrified of the wrong decision. I did believe that Jesus was my teacher, my guide, my love, and my friend, but now I did not see him as the only Son. Talk about terror. What if I was wrong?
I Will Always Love You
This song arrived at exactly the right time for me, and it helped me through a very difficult situation in my life. I am sharing it with you today in the hopes that it might do the same for you.
Gratitude
Realizing we are all one with source/God will open up the door to gratefulness. Looking at you, I know you are just like me, an extension of Love in form. How beautiful, how simple. That is all I need to see, God everywhere and in everything. When I am with a negative, special relationship, gratitude can ooze out if I would just put on another pair of glasses and see it differently. It is that relationship that can help me see what is in me, what I need to change, where I am still projecting. Be grateful for every lesson no matter what your ego has to say about it. Each lesson is a chance to bring you home.
Say Goodbye to Guilt
I can not begin to tell you how much guilt I carried for years. By holding onto my guilt, I didn’t realize I not only harmed myself, but those around me. Many moons ago, I would tell one of my kids that I was proud of them because they had come so far and thought that statement was a compliment. Instead, they felt I was holding them in the past.
Love in the Holidays
Where do I diminish my love? Well, like I said, I brought the past into the present. That left no room for a miracle. Where do I accentuate it? Living in the past, I had no time to accentuate love. The holidays can help us to pierce layers of pain, so the love can shine but we have to let go of the past. Without that, there is no room for the present. To get to the root of the pain, I had to let go of the fear and allow myself to feel the pain.
What is sacrifice?
It is amazing how often I have let the ego take control. I mean, it should be a no-brainer. Peace, Joy, Love, Guilt, Fear, or Shame. A major source of the ego’s off-balanced state is its lack of discrimination between the body and the thoughts of God/Source. So, when the ego runs the show, I leave the peace that surpasses all understanding. No wonder Paul said: I do what I don’t want and don’t do what I do want.
Truth
The insanity is that I would do the same thing over and over. Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Guess I was insane. I wanted to be free of pain but could not be until I would start looking at things differently. The freedom does not start until you switch your perspective from the external to the internal.
Theresa’s Plan to Save the World: Step 2 (STILL)
For years, I tried fixing others because I wanted to feel better. I would think, “If they were better, I would feel better.” I would then hear a buzzer go off in my head telling me that iI missed the mark. The mark, I have learned, is not about fixing others—it is about fixing ourselves.
