A Magical Life - first published December 2005

Many if not most religions have a Celebration of Lights near our calendar’s year end. Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Dijali and of course New Year mark a time of ritual, tradition and gatherings of family and dear ones with singing, gifting and feasting. With so many hearts opening to love there is magic afoot.

The Tall One gifted me with an armful of books this Christmas, he is a wise one, who knows me well. One of them was Marianne Williamson’s Everyday Grace. I opened to read “I have watched my daughter bury herself, like so many other children, heart and soul in the Harry Potter books.” “Emma has asked me several times, “Mommy, are the Harry Potter books true? Are there really magical places like that?” And I answer her as honestly as I can, which is to say that I answer “yes.”

Later the three of us, The Tall One, The Soccer Goddess and I went out to see a movie. We chose “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.” SEE THIS MOVIE!

Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, Aslan, Turkish Delight. Magic.

Magic

Do you believe in magic?

My Teacher says the one thing that holds people back from having and owning and living all of their good is that they feel unworthy.

What is your good?

What would have you sitting on the throne and being King or Queen of Narnia?

We start out as tiny babies thinking we must be pretty cool and we know we are cute.

And then they start, our parents and caretakers and teachers – telling us “No.” and calling us bad.

“The world doesn’t revolve around you!”

“Share, even if you don’t want to.”

And even though they only mean the best for us, they only want us to be good members of society, by and large the message most of us get is:

Everyone else’s feelings are not only more important, they are more correct.

We are not only insignificant, we are wrong, stupid, bad.

Hey, wait that cannot be so.

The Creator did not make junk.

I am a Holy, Innocent Child of God – that must mean I am precious and special and beloved.

And that feels better.

And it not only feels better, it has Magic in it.

If I really believe that I am a Holy, Innocent and Beloved Child of God that makes me pretty special and absolutely worthy of all good things.

All those years and years of programming.

And the good news is, it’s only programming – the negative messages are not objective, absolute truth, it’s just software that can be overwritten and this issue is chock full of ways to overwrite.

Pick one. Doesn’t matter whether it’s Dr Jill or Shad Helmstetter or Peter Pearson – do the exercises for 30 days and celebrate the changes.

Magically you will be more loved, more loving and a bit more successful in your business.

My hope for you is that you experience at least some unconditional love in your life, that there is someone who loves you so much that there is nothing you could do to make them love you more and nothing you could do to make them love you less.

And my truth is that there is someone who loves you like that.

That which is Divine loves you that way.

And how much magic is wrapped up in that!
