Take a Load Off-ACIM Review III-Lesson #120

I rest in Source./ I am as Source created me. When I began writing these ACIM blog posts I had some reservations. Should I really do this? Committing to 365 days of blogs seemed overwhelming. What if I missed a day? Or worse. What if no one cared that I missed a day. Then I began a small ritual, I still employ before writing every day. I prayed. Before every post I ask that whatever Spirit would like to convey today come through me to help those of you reading feel loved, se

YOU are Beautiful-ACIM Review III: Lesson #119

Truth will correct all errors in my mind. / To give and to receive are one in truth. As part of my getaway my fun friend (see lesson 116) brought along some spa masks. She knew we might have a rainy day, and thoughtfully planned something different to do. So the whole crew put on cleansing masks. One of the participants had a beard. He was, understandably concerned the mask wouldn’t come off properly. That he would have remnants of the mask left in his beard. Being a spamask

Every Breath You Take-ACIM Review III-Lesson #118

God’s peace and joy are mine./Let me be still and listen to the truth. Have you ever just sat in nature? Or with your breath? Even at your desk for hot minute? Absorbing the moment. Letting go of your worries. Your cares. Your fears… Take one right now. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Close your eyes and take one big deep breath in, pause at the top-then out. Pause again. Brilliant right?? Why don’t I do this more often? Because the world calls Estelle. I have work…And chores…And (may b

Bird is the Word-ACIM Review III-Lesson #117

God, being Love, is also happiness./ I seek but what belongs to me in truth. Yesterday I was bird watching. Yup. I said it. Bird watching. My partner & I were at a lovely lake with huge trees. The birds were joyfully singing to one another all around me. And the place had some binoculars. So, I thought I’d give it a go. Bird watching. After a little while I noticed two cutie-patooties sitting side-by-side, perched in the tree together. One bird was plucking a berry off the tr

Don't Cry over a Broken Coffee Pots-Review III: Lesson # 116

God’s will for me is perfect happiness. /I share God’s will for happiness for me. I had an interesting morning….I broke a coffee pot. You might be thinking-Estelle, it’s just a coffee pot. It is. But it was enough release a waterfall of blame and shame in my mind. A single glass pot of malice thrown toward myself. Huh. And it’s not even my coffee pot. I’m at an Air BNB. When it happened I felt terrible. I considered lots of inappropriate things-I could hide it. Say it spontan

Tune In-ACIM Review III-Lesson #115

Salvation is my only function here./ My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation. Our lives are mirrors. We attract and resonate with exactly what we need in every moment. What this means is that life will always presents us with exactly what we need to grow through. Huh. Yuck. Obviously, I am not always completely open to this principle. I mean if my cats are fighting in front of me does that mean I’m fighting with something within me? Probably. In some way this could

Believe in Yourself-ACIM Review III: Lesson #114

I am Spirit. / I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation. I am the Queen of ‘Not Enough’. Of believing I just don’t have what it takes. I doubt myself. Often. Sometimes my monkey brain even throws poo at my self-esteem in the form of sharp words or less-than-kind commentary. But, lucky for me, ACIM has no such doubts in my capabilities. ACIM, regardless of the excrement, understands that I am more. I am spirit, Lesson 114 wqyw. Not this earth suit container. Not my do

Your Biggest Life-Manifested: ACIM Review III: Lesson #113

I am one Self, united with my Creator./Salvation comes from my One Self. I have mentioned before that ACIM is VERY intentional. The word on the street is that ACIM was written with very few edits or revisions. A clear channel of information, gifted to the masses. The intentional I notice in Lesson 113 is the capitalization of the words ‘Creator’, ‘Self’, and ‘One’. Without getting all grammar-lady, this is not standard English. The point I hear ACIM making is-many times we tr

Be the Light-ACIM Review III: Lesson #112

Light and joy and peace abide in me./I am as God created me. I have to admit, sometimes I feel like chaos in motion. I steamroll through my life with my purportedly important tasks and things to do. Sometimes I even fool myself into thinking they are All-That-Is. When something doesn’t go quite as planned, like the checkbook balancing. Or the Car acting up. Or the DMV…Well, I might get a bit frazzled. Lesson 112’s Reviews remind me that no matter what is happening on the out

Baller Strength-ACIM Review 3: Lesson #111

Miracles are seen in light. Have you ever looked at a baby? I mean REALLY looked into a baby’s eyes? (fur babies included) Those big doe eyes seem to contain wisdom and a wonder beyond time. And, in fact, a baby’s eyes, (unlike the rest of their bodies) are already at 75% of their adult size. Result? Windows to the soul. Reminding us of any phenomenal life we are missing by focusing our own, smaller proportioned, peepers on what is in darkness. Inviting us to enjoy the beaut

Jam Sesson-ACIM Review III

Time for Review! For the unfamiliar, ACIM understands that the material can be a little dense. That the concepts are juicy. That there is a lot to take in. So it gives us a chance to Review the lessons every so often. To reabsorb the wisdom. Jam session Review III gives us only two ideas per day to review. It asks us to sit back, trust our internal wisdom, and absorb what comes to us to see how the lessons apply. Practical-like. As often as you can. Try the first and last 5 m

Creation in Motion-ACIM Lesson #110

I am as God created me. This weekend I went on a bit of a binger. You know, the ones where you go down the rabbit-hole of a reality TV show? My show of choice was a Chef Tournament of Champions. As I was watching I began, in true librarian-like fashion, to get curious about the history of some of the participants. Deciding to chase the white rabbit further, I wondered who the most successful chef on television might be. When I Googled it my answer was-Carla Hall. Carla Hall

Peace beyond Understanding-ACIM Lesson #109

I rest in God. Like many of you my mind has been on Russia & the Ukraine. I worry about our friends across the ocean. I wonder about the pain and suffering they are going through. And my heart longs to help in whatever ways I can that might make a difference. When I go through the laundry list of things I might do to help-time, money, volunteering-I wonder what is mine to do? And I recognize the one simple thing that isn’t present on my list-My personal peace. When I look at

To give and to receive are one in truth. Yesterday I went out into the world. Oh my. My partner & I were on an adventure with friends. It was a CSI virtual adventure. Splendid. Hundreds of people walking about downtown, faces in the corresponding CSI app on their phones. Searching for clues. Trying to solve the mystery. It was a blast. As I was rounding a corner with my group, I noticed a lady standing on the corner, red eyes, watching us all pass. Good Morning. I said. She

Resurrecting the Living Truth-ACIM Lesson #107

Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I had a bit of a meltdown this morning. Yup, meltdowns are not just reserved for kidos. Welcome to adulting. The house is messy. The cats were growling and fighting all morning. I couldn’t seem to get a grip on any of my wildly dancing emotions. Then there was the guilt for even having these emotions given all of the things going on in the world. I have had it! I said to Source. This shift is enough. Then I open up ACIM. Truth will co

Be Truth ACIM Lesson #106

Let me be still and listen to the Truth. This past week I had some pretty significant revelations in my story. And not the easy-peasy gentle kind that lovingly remind us where we are at and give us hope. Nope. Not me. I’ll take the 2 by 4 to the head for $200, Universe. Essentially someone mentioned I may not be as big of a deal as my ego thinks I am. Whaaaaat?!? My ego hemmed. It hawed. It was angry. Blaming. Defiant. How dare someone say I don’t know what I think I know. No

The Gremlins in Our Mind-Lesson #105

Let me be still and listen to the truth. In the popular 1984 film Gremlins, Randall Peltzer looks for a special gift for his son for Christmas. He spies the adorable (pictured) mogwai and decides this would be the perfect present for his son Billy. It’s adorable. It’s fuzzy. It’s cuddly. And Billy loves the mogwai, who he names Gizmo. But there’s a catch….no water. I won’t give away the plot, except to say, the reason for the desert rule (aka no water), is that water multipli

Love, Peace & Harmony-ACIM Lesson #104

God’s peace & joy are mine. My sisters and I used to play Barbies as kids. A lot. We would spend hours choosing which Barbies we wanted. Dutifully taking turns and maturely discussing who got what (sure, it happened that way). Half the time when we got done picking our stuffs, we didn’t have time to play. Or we were exhausted from the process. Source tells me I do this a lot with my material possessions. I go through life picking and choosing what the next item I need to add

Seeing the happiness on someone’s face when they receive. But speaking of receiving…this is the part I am less good at. As often as I love to give a gift. When I receive one, I just feel awkward. Like I’m in the hot seat. And everyone is waiting for my reaction…. Lesson 104 reminds me that

Happiness is waiting-ACIM Lesson #102

I share God’s will for happiness for me. This year I did something amazingly awesome. I planted tulips. For the uninitiated, this requires a bit of foresight. You plant the bulbs in the Fall. Bury them. Then wait…And wait…And waiiiiit until Spring to see if they will sprout. When March hit, I began looking for my little gems. When nothing came up-I immediately began thinking the worst. I must of have planted them upside-down. Some nefarious deer dug them up for a snack. Or ma
