Blessings dear beings of the earth plane,

We have come to you this day as a reminder of the connection that you all have to that inner strength of love and joy and peace and happiness. We know that it must seem elusive at times, especially if you are paying a lot of attention to the outer world and not enough attention to the inner world. We know that many of you may be saying, but don’t we need to see reality. Yes, you can pay attention to reality, but then remind yourselves of the reality that lies within and that reality is always connected to love, acceptance, not judgement or fear. Remind yourself that when you are connected to the love of Source, God, Universe, whatever you choose to call it, there is no fear, no hatred, no mistrust of others. It is all a source of love.

Guide yourselves back into that space. The caterpillar does not fear changing into a butterfly.

Oftentimes as Leslie is sitting in traffic and comes to a stop and takes time to be one with us, she notices that when birds are flying in large masses when they migrate, they do not run into one another. They do not shout at one another to move out the way. And upon landing on a wire, they cooperate fully with one another. The line of birds can be full, but when another bird approaches and wants to land, the whole line of birds will cooperate and move to the side and allow the bird into line. They don’t shout out go somewhere else!  Don’t you see that there is no one at the wire below? They do not judge. They are in full cooperation with one another.

Isn’t this possible with the human race also? We know many are thinking, but the birds are not ego driven and humans are. This is true, but doesn’t it also say to you that cooperation is a wonderful tool to be used to allow individuals to just be themselves? It seems though that many of you will say, but what if someone does not want to be cooperative? What if they are seeing a different reality than I am? Yes, this is true as well, but you also have the ability to walk away from situations that are not in your reality, and if you are truly living the life of your choice you will not draw into your experience those events or people that are not on the same wave length.  You will simply live your life fully and directly as you choose to live it. It goes without saying that there will be those times when you bump up against something that is not a “feel good” place, but you always have choices to make with these experiences. You can participate in the drama, or you can allow others to create their own drama while you walk away unharmed by their experiences.

Choose to live the life you want to live, not the life that someone else wants you to live. Not a life full of drama, and mistrust, but a life that is full of you being able to fully express you. The you that you are meant to be. The you that chooses love over hate, joy over sorrow, trust over fear. Have faith in your benevolent being. When you arrive in your body and you become engaged with your family and you may scratch your head as you become more in tune with life and living and say why did I choose this? You choose what you choose to have experiences, to be able to notice the contrast that life gives you to be able to discern what feels good to you.  Yes, then you have those parents that want to control or manipulate, you say. We say remind yourself of the love from which you came. It never ever leaves you, but it can be a bit hard to find at times. Come back to that love within, however you can find to do that. Life may take you on a roller-coaster ride, but enjoy the experiences of life. Those experiences will form the person you choose to be.

Watch children as they play without fear of what lies ahead of them, but so tuned into that moment in time. They see nothing outside of themselves, only that joy filled place of adventure and freedom and happiness. Tap into those joy filled places. If you must go to a playground or surround yourself with the wee ones to be able to get a sense of that feeling, do so. It will bring you back into a place of that innermost guidance of love and acceptance and no fear, only love, joy, freedom.

It is that time of the year when your calendar is reminding you that the year is ending and you may reflect on things going on in your life and wonder what you can do differently next year.   Do not be hard yourselves if you feel like mistakes were made. Instead embrace all of the experiences you have had and trust that whatever has occurred in your life is for you to learn, love, embrace and move forward. I always have choices, you can say to yourself. What do I want to choose for me today?  For this moment in time is all that you have, and this moment in time is so very powerful. Tap into the love and embrace and love yourself. Allow yourself to be that joyful child on the playground romping about and enjoying the playfulness of being alive.

Tap into life. Embrace yourself and love yourself like you never have before. Today is truly the first day of the rest of your life, as the saying goes.

Affirm these things: I am free to be.  I am alive now.  I have choices.  I choose love.

Be at peace, dear ones, and trust in the divine benevolence of your own being.
