Day Sixty One

I went to a workshop on Saturday. It was run by the coach/hypnotist I wrote to last Wednesday. It was a vision quest workshop to create a vision board and clarify my direction. At the beginning of the workshop, each participant got up and told a bit about ourselves and why we were there. I said my piece. I talked about my book and about the "gratitude revolution" I am starting. Then the workshop leader proceeded to read the card I wrote to her out loud to the group. I was floored as she read it out loud. It was a beautiful card. I was a seamless flowing string of loving words. It felt so good to hear. I imagined being on the receiving end of something like that. As I listened, I knew for a fact that when I wrote that letter I was channeling pure love from the universe. I really want to master this skill. It's coming out in other areas of my life.

Today, my ex-husband butt dialed me on his cell phone. I called back and he answered. I found myself having a pleasant conversation with him. I found myself being compassionate instead of angry and judgmental. I was encouraging and grounded. I didn't feel responsible for his actions or lack of them. I felt accepting and willing to help. I don't know where all of that came from, yet I do know that I liked it! I decided to write him a letter today. It's not a perfect letter; however, I think it is good.

I also wrote to my cousin today. He is an amazing guy who is cool beyond comprehension. He's a new daddy and going through a lot. He's in my thoughts and I want him to know how spectacular he is.

In the past few days I have also written to two of my local friends whom I haven't seen in a while.

Today I got an email from one of my friends back east who said she has been meaning to write to thank me for her card. It arrived the day after her birthday, so she assumed it was a birthday card. She was very excited to find that it was just an "everyday" card. I love it!

My very sweet Uncle just sent me a message telling me how much he loved his "love letter". He commented on how grateful he is to have a close relationship with me because I have "allowed" it. It makes me realize that I must allow myself to be open for that love to come to me. I proclaim that I am ready to receive all the love the universe has to shower me with! Bring it on!!!
