Day 96: You have come home to your true self

It is a dark, rainy, cold morning here at our home in Oregon. It feels like a new spring in some ways. The lawn that died over the summer is a fresh green, renewed by the nourishing raindrops. It is one of my favorite times of the year when cups of hot coffee, tea, and hot chocolate abound. Cozying up with a blanket and a good book is the best activity of the day. These days not only am I feeling comfortable here in our home, I feel at home in myself. I am grateful for all of the growth that has happened in my heart since I began this 100-day spiritual journey. In these final days, I am still learning powerful lessons from the book Letting Go by David R. Hawkins.

The more we let go, the more loving we become. More and more of our life will be spent doing things that we love to do, with people for whom we feel increasing love. As this happens, our life becomes transformed. -David R. Hawkins

There are many things I used to be. As I look back at how far I have come in these past 100-days and these past few years, I feel like I have come home to my true self. I used to be a workaholic, a people-pleaser, and someone afraid of speaking her truth. Through these daily lessons, I have learned to take things one day at a time, one step at a time. Now I know I can be loving to others while staying true to who I am. By writing, I can share my heart. The beautiful thing is that I can walk this path my whole life and keep growing. There is always more expansion.

We never finish learning and growing. That to-do list will be left undone when we pass on to a new existence beyond this Earth. There is no need to hurry. Don’t scramble to finish everything. If there are things left on your list, they can wait. Whatever we feel most called to do today is what we must accomplish. Everything else is extra. Know that you are here to learn and expand your heart. That is the most relevant work that you do.

The personality is gentle and open with a willingness to let go and surrender nonstop because of the unfolding and ongoing inner process of continuous revelation. -David R. Hawkins

Letting go is some of the most important work I have done in my life. Holding on to what I had little control over only caused obstacles to appear on my path. More and more, I am called to surrender. To give up anything that is causing me distress. This life is fleeting, and holding on weighs us down. To be free, we must loosen our grip on who we used to be and come home to ourselves.

Today I feel at home. I live inside my heart, and from there, I radiate love. I can send it out to wherever it needs to go, so it reaches each person who needs to hear this message. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring actually brings me joy today. The mystery of life causes us to always be delighted and surprised.

My prayer and my intention for you today is that you make a note of what you love about yourself. Take joy in how far you have come on your journey. Know that you are always learning and growing. Feel the love all around you as you grow into your true self. Know that you are deeply loved every day.
