How grace can touch your life

I write to you today because I have been surrounded by grace over the past week as I’ve been alone to mourn the loss of my amazing Dad. I’ve been following my guidance, for what my heart needs and I’m so grateful that I have.

What I mean by grace, is a feeling of comfort, security and calm. An influence of spirit unexplained and not outside of myself.

I’ve cried, drank, smoked, learned, visited with a few great friends, worked out, made a music playlist 'Dad' for the days I’ll need to release some pain, received necessary hugs and more than anything, the time to process as I create this new landscape of my life.

Here’s some of what has come out of this alone time:

There is so much information and distraction in life. We can get distracted or we can sit in our present moment stuff and ask for guidance. The work is to listen. What resonates with your heart? What makes you remember who you really are?

Among those you learn from and follow, I’m here to remind you that YOUR truth is what you’re here to learn. You have an inner wisdom, and when you allow that to be your director, you will always feel connected.

Divine guidance has been what has gotten me through everything - and many times I wasn’t even consciously aware of it. It took me longer in some areas than others to get it right, because it took me a while to actually follow my own guidance. I heard it but didn’t always follow it. You are so powerful when you connect to who you really are.

Where I am now, is taking the love inside of me, melting my walls and giving it away. If I can allow only love to be inside of me, from there, all things love will come back to me.

I just witnessed the loss of a very important life and it has stirred something inside me, around my heart. Protecting it is no longer something I’m interested in. I want to give love, not hold it back. I want to receive love and anticipate it. I believe this is a big purpose of our lives. I’ve heard the message for a long time, but now, it has finally moved me.

I’ve recently learned from Mark Nepo that we are all sensitive. And some people build walls around their heart to prevent hurt. For anyone who may resonate with this, as I did, please join me to begin practising living with a heart more open. I’m not saying it will be easy, but hey, we only have one life. Let’s have as much love in it as we can.

When I feel more solid I’ll be putting a program together on how to live from an open heart. Or something like that. It’s time I do.

Love someone today, right after loving you.

Love, 

Kristi
