Cheesy Goodness-ACIM Review #2: Lesson 90

Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved./Let me recognize my problems have been solved. We’ve all seen the mazes with the mice and the cheese right? You know the ones where the mouse has to navigate through the maze to get to the cheese? I always felt a little bad for the mouse. That they were placed in such undignified conditions just to get a bit of cheese. I mean cheese should be free flowing-Am I right? Lesson 90 tells me I am the mouse looking for the cheese. E

Bring on the Miracles! Review #2: Lesson 89

I am entitled to miracles/Let miracles replace all grievances. When I was 25 years old my life did not seem great. My long-term relationship had just ended. I hated my job. I didn’t have a tribe. Even the furnace wanted out & kicked the bucket in my new condo. Life did not seem miraculous. What I did to cope was drink too much. Party too hard. Ride on motorcycles going waaaaay too fast. I simply didn’t care anymore. My reverence for life was at an all-time low. I was straight

Abracadabra!-Review #2: Lesson 88

The light has come/I am under no laws but God's One of my favorite sitcoms is Modern Family. It’s about an eclectic family who is learning the lessons that life has to give. The show is a funny little take on life. Wrapped up in a 30 minute package. I adore it. My fav character on the show is Phil. Phil is quirky. Phil is sometimes overly confident. He also falls a lot. I can relate. I adore Phil too. Phil’s vocation is a real-tor, but his passion is being a magician. His tr

Let the Sunshine In-Review #2: Lesson 87

I will there be light/There is no will but God’s Once, when I was a kid, I swore there was a monster in my room. I heard it giggle. I was sure of it. I laid in bed. Frozen and afraid. If I just didn’t move I thought I would be able to fool the monster, and it would go away. I stayed up half the night. Wanting to be prepared to act should the monster attack. But it never did. It was an illusion. And when the light of morning filtered through my yellow-flowered curtains-I knew

In-Joy ACIM Review #2: Lesson 86

Only God’s plan for salvation will work/Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation I have mentioned I am a bit of a hidden pictures afficionado right? Okay, so I play the kids game in Highlights quite a bit. The one where you look for pictures hidden within a bigger picture. I get really serious about this game sometimes. Looking for the boot in the octopus. Big time important stuff in my day. Sometimes, I get so serious looking for the little objects, I forg

Peak-a-Chu, Who ARE you? ACIM Review #2: Lesson 85

My grievances hide the light of the world in me./My salvation comes from me. Kids are awesome mirrors for my bad-a## self. They show me an innocence. A wonder at life I can sometimes feel I’ve lost. They are a reflection of life before I decided that bills & stuff were more important than a flower or jumping in puddles. One of my favorite games to play with a toddler is peek-a-boo. You know, where you hold your hands over your face and ‘peek’ out. Often the dear little one is

Flesh Monkeys-ACIM Review #2: Lesson #84

Love created me like itself. I love Halloween. Yes, yes, I understand it’s out of season. But I love it year 'round. The costumes. The candy. Kids all dressed up as their favorite character. But dressing up in costume every day would probably be frowned upon if, say, I went to work in March as a superhero. They maaay give me the side-eye. Lesson #84 reminds me that I often do this very thing on the daily. I dress up in this meat suit and pretend it is who I am. That my suffer

Foot-In-Mouth Disease, ACIM Review #2: Lesson 83

My only function is the one God gave me/My happiness & my function are one. Public speaking is not my fav. I sputter over words. I get sweaty palms when someone asks me a question. I even feel cold sweats when I am asked an impromptu answer I haven’t had time to rehearse. Classic introvert. Add foot-in-mouth disease, and we’ve got a perfect storm of a sh** sandwich between these lips. (perhaps you can see how this happens from the previous sentence). But sometimes, on my bett

As such I have many cat stories. Here’s one: After bringing our bush kitty in the house, we noticed he tended to have personal space issues. As in…he has none. Personal space that is. He gets up in my cat of 13 years face, even when our older cat swipes at him. He is relentless. The funny part is t

I am the light of the world. You are awesome. You light up your world. You are the sunrise after a cloudy day. The eye in any proverbial worldly hurricane. THIS is your jam. THIS is your function. Be at peace. And remember who you are. Open. Receive. Let the sunshine in. ‘Nough said. Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. Yesterday I hung out with some pretty awesome LightWorker friends of mine. They practically glow with their awesome function of spreading the

ACIM Reboot #2, Review

Have you seen the romantic movies where the lead puts a message in a bottle? Years later said bottle always washes upon the shore to spur another romance. This Review for ACIM asks us to do the same. This time the notorious ACIM recommends a dedicated morning & evening vigil for each of the ideas. Repeat as needed. And here’s the coolest part….Just listen. Listen to see what speaks to you as a result. Much like that bottle, ACIM guarantees-There is a message waiting for you.

Learning to Skydive into Awesome-ACIM Lesson # 8o

Let me recognize my problems have been solved. My partner has an interesting rule around emails that charge him. 24 hours. 24 hours he waits (or tries to wait) before responding to an email that pushed his buttons. 24 hours. Wait. The funny thing is that during the, sometimes agonizing, 24 hour wait period, the issue almost universally resolves itself. The receipt a person needed would be found. The documentation would get done. Sometimes the charged person would even email b

Moving toward a Solution-ACIM Lesson #79

Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. You may have heard the adage that a problem can not be solved with the same mindset that created it. My partner, evidently, is a master at this concept. My boo attends Yoga a few times a week. He often sees the same peeps over and over again that attend the class. Everyone generally gravitates toward the same spot they laid their matts down on during the previous class. But my partner, being the rebel-rouser he is, decided to

Let miracles replace all grievances. Does anyone remember viewmasters? Viewmasters were visual toys. You inserted a disk, and looked through the viewfinder to see magical 3D images. As a kid my family’s disks included exotic locals and beautiful scenery. When you wanted a new image, you clicked a side switch to manually advance to the next pic. Glorious. The images were awesome but, given these toys were created in the 30’s there was a glitch. A brief second, as you were adva

Being Miracles-Lesson #77

I am entitled to Miracles. I sometimes fancy myself a wordsmith. That I can turn a happy phrase with a sense of deftness and ease. But today I’ve got nothin’ on ACIM. I truly do not think I could ever say it better than this: You are entitled to miracles. Yup. No matter what you think you have done, said or been…YOU are entitled to miracles. Yes, I see you there (who ME?). Yes. You. Not because of anything produced on the external, but because of who you are. Divine. And here

Going Rogue...ACIM Lesson #76

I am under no laws but God’s. I was a compliant child. Pretty docile. Laid back even. This complacency has followed me through much of my life. But I secretly loved stories of people who were born spunky. The legends of people who defied authority to live their truth. Joan of Arc. Nelson Mandela. They crushed it. I was not one of these people. I played by the rules. I obeyed the asks. I inwardly cringed at making my family uncomfortable or upset. And while these can be wonder

Groping for the Light-ACIM Lesson #75

The light has come. Sometimes I need to get up in the middle of the night. It’s not pretty. I wander around, knocking into the corner of the bedpost. Sometimes I run into the (understandably irritated) cat who meows at me. I blindly paw my way to the bathroom like a flesh monkey in a banana store. But once I reach my destination, the glorious light switch is always waiting. Like a faithful friend it lives on my wall. Waiting to show me the way (and encouraging less bruising,

There is no will but God’s. You may not know this, but my Mom was a baller. She had an old muscle car she used to race on the back-roads a bit. You know the ones with the huge engines that chugged down a gazillion gallons of gas? Yup. My mom had one. And we still have it, to this day. When we were kids we played in the car. As adults we longed to drive it. But here’s the catch-No power steering. No power steering?!?! Can you believe that shift? And without power steering I am

Memberberries-ACIM Lesson #73

I will there be light. The show Southpark is an, often crude, but sometimes hilarious parody of the politics of our world. In one episode the concept of ‘Memberberries’ are introduced. Memberberries are a metaphor for ‘the good old days’. Nostalgic times when things were perceived to be better. Peaceful. More certain. Sounds great right? The problem with memberberries, is that along with ice cream parlors and the twist, they also ‘member’ lots of things that no longer work. A

Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation Have you ever seen the 1994 Jim Carrey movie The Mask? In it, Stanley (aka Carrey) finds a mystical mask that allows him to do whatever he wants. He has superpowers. Can manifest at will. This version of Stanley is confident. Self-assured. Entertaining. The mask is lovely for Stanley. Stanley grows addicted to wearing it. But, spoiler alert, the mask also has some unwanted side effects. Along with Stanley’s confidenc
