When you choose this - everything shifts!

A girlfriend I hadn't spoken to in a long time called me, frustrated. She was upset with her son and his political choices.

She wanted to know where she had gone wrong.

I could completely relate. Years ago, during another election, I found myself in the worst state of prolonged fear I had ever experienced. That state of fear attracted more reasons to fear.

This feeling took me out of my body, lasted too long, and left me breathless. I found myself searching for evidence to justify my fear. 

I became the victim of my own thoughts. EWW! 

I was not used to feeling fear at this level. I was so sad at the behavior of others. I was angry that I could not control them. That they would not listen to my wisdom. It took time to come back to “my Center.”   

I had to remember that there was either love or fear, period. 

I promised myself I would never allow myself to hang out in fear like that again. When my mind wants to visit fear, I do my best to catch it as quickly as I can. I honor the emotion and gently turn it around.

If I find myself getting angry, I “Byron it” or do The Work the way Byron Katie has taught me. 
 

Here’s how to do it: 

• Is it true? 
• Can you absolutely know that it’s true? 
• How do you react when you believe that thought? 
• Who would you be without the thought? 

Then, I find a “turnaround”—a thought that reflects the opposite. For example, “How can they not have empathy?” becomes “Why don’t I have empathy?” 

In reality, they’re likely afraid too. That’s what’s beneath it. 

As you perform The Work you FEEL your energy shift. You feel fear leaving your body, and you come back to what you can control: your thoughts. And with that, you’re safe again. Safe to love. Safe from being triggered—because when there’s no button, there’s nothing to push. 

There is either Love or Fear. 

What do you do to support coming from a place of Love? Are you looking for support of fear like I did? Are you nourishing your energy with positive books, social media, people and podcasts, or are you taking in empty calories with negative social media, people and news? 

Negativity is not entertainment – and yes, I still must catch myself looking for proof or validation of my own negative thoughts, but it’s depleting.

Let’s consciously do better!

My Sister-in-Law bought me a sign years ago that says: Be conscious of the energy you bring into this home. Let’s also be conscious of the energy that we bring into our bodies. 

What you are believing is what you will attract. 

 I believe that we will jump timelines together and shift the frequency as a collective. I know that we are going to be fine. The earth is going to be fine. She has a way of cleansing and taking care of things. When we come from Love, we feel safe no matter what happens. We don’t need to control anyone outside of us. 



You are the Goddamn Light! 

Much Love,
