Oh My God Life

The weather is my life is always changing. And as much as I may love warm, sunny days, they aren’t the only thing on my weather map. Stormy days are on the map too. I can try to pretend this isn’t the case. I can label the sunny days “good” and the stormy days “bad,” but that’s not true. They’ll all just days. I can learn and grow from all of them. And be gentle with myself throughout.

There are many images of God. Old-School God is one of them. Old-School God is quite a character. He can be loving at times, but then He goes off his meds and smites everyone in sight. Today I let Old-School God go. Today I build my own relationship with my Higher Power. Today I am unconditionally loved, and I know it. What a relief!

Other people are always going to have opinions about me. Some people will celebrate who I am and what I do. No matter what. And some people will criticize who I am and what I do. No matter what. Today I follow my own inner knowing and allow myself to shine my bright light in the world. I do what is right for me to do. I allow myself to be who I feel good about being.

All of my problems start in my mind. I may have challenges. Things may change unexpectedly and I have to regroup. But nothing is a problem. Everything simply is the way it is. When I accept life exactly as it is, there is no problem. Today I practice radical acceptance. I look at everything and ask: How is this perfect just as it is? I embrace the answers that come. I embrace the perfection of now.

Wow! My life is incredible. Wow! I thought I knew what I wanted. I thought I knew what was best for me. But Spirit had something even better in mind. Wow! I never would have predicted how amazing my life could be. And it keeps getting better and better every day. Wow! It’s so wonderful to say Wow! and then let Spirit create a life beyond my wildest dreams.

Creating new things doesn’t always happen from inspiration. Sometimes change happens because of necessity. I’m out of my usual options and I need to try something new. I’m backed into a corner and I need to create a way out. When the mother of necessity pops into my life, I remember that it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to create, to grow, and to learn. I’ll take it!
