This is a message I wrote down several years ago from www.Lightworker.com.  It’s a timely message for me and for you since this is what this blog is about. 

“Discernment is the highest lesson of masters.  If you feel the pull of joy and love in your biology then take that message as your own.  If you feel confusion or uncertainty, that message was meant for another, release it in love.  The Group.”

Do you have someone in your life who is driving you crazy with frustration because you expect him/her to act differently?  I know it is a common theme in many peoples’ lives, and it has certainly taken a front seat in my life for the past year or so.

One of our family members has been living with us for the past 18 months, and we have been very open to welcoming him into our home with the hopes of providing him some stability and loving support. However, on the path of wanting to help and teach him, some major life lessons have surfaced. I have now learned what the term “codependent” means. I finally read the book Codependent No More—which, of course, was written for me. We frantically kept trying to keep his head above water, stabilizing him, reminding him when his bills were due, getting him up for work on time, etc, etc, etc.

The life lessons for me

• I am finally willing to stop rescuing him and let him hit the ground. I told him that it was not fair to him for us to keep reminding him of appointments and deadlines, that he would never learn how to do it as long as we kept doing it for him…so we would love him enough to withdraw from his life.  I must say I am quite proud of myself…it’s been several weeks now, and I have not said a word to him to remind him of anything. It has been really hard, but one time when I was close to giving in, Spirit had me take an extra long nap so that when I woke up, it was too late.
• I need to get out of the way so HIS guides can lead him through his own life lessons. I write in my journal often when I’m looking for guidance, and I have a “committee” of guides who give me answers to my questions. One reason I have decided to back off is that they have almost been screaming at me, saying it is NONE of my business whether he pays his bills on time—he is not ME—he has different values.
• He is my teacher. He is playing his part in MY life so that I can learn to detach and allow others to follow their own path. Then my friend Shari said, “Isn’t it amazing that he is willing to live the life he is experiencing so that you can learn what you need to learn!”  That brought such a shift for me! And I realized that as soon as I really get this lesson, he will be released from the role he is playing in MY drama—

Recently I attended a workshop on abundance where there was a panel of 8 millionaires on the stage answering questions about how they got to where they are and what their childhoods were like. I was fascinated to hear some of them say what a mess they were when they were young—flunking out of several colleges, doing drugs, dropping out, basically being very irresponsible and immature—and now they are multi-millionaires. Then I realized that our “family member” is just writing his story! He is going to have an awesome future, and we have to let him go through the life lessons he agreed to before he was born into this lifetime. Pretty soon he’ll figure out what to do in life, and he’ll have the most amazing story to tell of how he got there.

So now, every day I turn him over to God, Yeshua, Archangel Michael and Quan Yin. I figure They are completely capable of taking care of him. I invite you to join me in letting go of whomever it is that you are hanging on to. Stop delaying their growth and let them get on with their own lives!   You’ll feel so FREE!     Heather

Today, my friend sent me a video that tells a story showing us who we can be when we let go of our judgments and set aside our perceived differences. We have the power to help nurture others in ways we never imagined.  

Although this story is about animals, it is truly a message for all us humans to remember who we are and what we are capable of doing because in truth, we are all connected and our natural instinct is to help others when needed.  No agendas, no commitments, no force, just pure love.

Gosh, a lot has been going on this last year, wouldn’t you say?   How many of you can physically feel the energy shifts taking place?  For instance, have any of you been feeling some weird stuff in the last few weeks?  I sure have. 

Since 2000 I’ve been much more sensitive to the energy shifts taking place on our planet.  During most of that time, I didn’t understand what it was, why it was happening and what to do about it.  

In 2006 a friend of mine told me about a website called What’s Up On Planet Earth.  The author, Karen Bishop would write several articles a month telling her readers what she “knew” about the energy shifts.   At first, I didn’t really “get” what she was talking about.   It took about a year or so for me to realize that what she wrote about was what I was feeling.  Wow, what a relief that was. 

Today, Karen has a new site www.emergingearthangels.com.  You really need to visit the site to get a good understanding of who she is, why she does what she does and why she created a new website.  Here are just a few things you may find interesting:

·         Regularly updated messages concerning the current energies and how they may affect you

·         The option to sign up to receive her most recent posts

·         Excerpts of her books

·         A question and answer section

Go check it out and see if it resonates with you.  When I read her posts I’m still amazed at how right on she is with how I’ve been feeling the few days prior to her email.  When I’m having strange physical pains, I can’t seem to get motivated,  I’m  just feeling yucky or I feel something is brewing out there, Karen sends out  a post .  Her timing is impeccable.  Let me know what you think about emerging earth angels, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Watch for more resource articles like this one in the future.  If you’d like to recommend a resource that you have found to be helpful, let us know about it and we’ll check it out.

It’s been a rough year, or two, or twenty.  I find myself thinking about so many things.  I have so many ideas and so little time.  Do I have an attention deficit disorder or what?  My mind is here and then it’s there…like a roller coaster that never stops.  I’m having a hard time focusing on just one thing. Come to think about it, I’ve always had a hard time focusing on just one thing at a time.  Ugghh!

I’ve realized the best remedy for lack of focus is to write.  Write it down.  It doesn’t matter what it is.  The grocery list, the “to do” list, chores to get done, who to call, and the most important one, ideas. 

Do you find that you have a great idea and one minute later… poof, it’s gone?  Have you thought to yourself “hey, I need to look this up on the internet”, finished whatever it was you were doing, went to your computer, brought up the Google page and completely forgot what it was you were going to do?   Well, you’re not alone. 

All I can say is that it takes work to focus on one thing at a time.  We live in a world where multi-tasking seems to be a common attribute among most people.  I’m ready to stop the madness.  I’m tired of having 25 unfinished projects sitting on my desk, handling each one as they become a big fat fire. 

So, the last several weeks I’ve been focusing on focusing.  I’m working on breaking the bad habit of going from one project to the next project, only to start a new one.  I even kept a record of what I did for a whole week just to prove to myself that I actually get things done.  Yea, whatever, all that did was show me that I don’t get anything done.   Well, no more!  I choose to focus.  That’s why I wrote this article, to focus on writing. 

Update

Since deciding that I was going to focus on one thing until I got it done I’m happy to report that I had a major accomplishment, I launched this blog. And, I finished another project.  I completed the About Page here on The Enlightened Blog.com.  Check it out.  It only took me several months!    Two completed projects in one month!  Oh my gosh!  I’m on a roll. 

So, what about you?  Are you focusing on your projects and getting things done? If not, tell me what you’re going to do to get your stuff done.  And if you are one of “those” people who is super organized and getting your stuff done, tell me how you do it.
