Be Blameless

To make a mistake is human.  To take appropriate, right action is Divine.  As I reflected on this card and the meaning of blamelessness, I realized that my critical inner voice, my “not good enough” aspect really likes to push me down.  I used to really struggle with this in my teens and early twenties as I wasn’t as in touch with my emotions.  Now as I enter my forties I am starting to really understand that my ego and my human nature do not have to define me. I can trust in a Divine plan and allow myself the freedom to feel and heal.  Just maybe a mistake is part of the Divine plan – wow, what a thought!

I love that this card gives us 4 steps to really move into a blameless state of being. So I wanted to reflect on each step:

  1. Take full responsibility for the part we played – so important especially the “part we played” in the mistake.  Not the whole responsibility as it’s not our job to take it for everyone involved.  So identify how you contributed and participated in the mistake.
  2. Quickly make amends for our errors.  To make an amends is to take action in transforming the wrong into right.
  3. Intelligently focus on what can be said or done to transmute the challenging situation.  Yes, let’s be smart.  To use our intelligence to speak or act a truth so all may benefit.
  4. Take appropriate action. Well, that’s clear.  Trust your heart and listen then act.

Embracing Change

Every day in this world we live in change happens in so many complex ways.  People change, the weather changes, the length of day changes, situations changes, lives changes and so on…….

Well accepting change is not an easy task for anyone regardless of the kind of change. Decisions need to be made at times in order for a change to take place
and sometimes the change is good and sometimes it’s not.  There are often pros and cons to what the outcome of change will be and it is always better to focus on the positive.

In all change though, something good should result, be it the weather, when the sun is finally shining or a new law is put into effect to make the world around us a safer place. No matter what I have in my life there is always someone somewhere that has it more difficult and is fighting for change in the world around them.  Change can happen if you want it to and you set your mind to it.  We have the ability to change anything we want even for others.

For me 6 years ago my life changed drastically in many ways – financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically and in more ways than I am probably even aware of. The first step for me in order to embrace the change was to accept my new life and see it in a positive light – all of it the good and bad. It was a long, difficult struggle but I eventually overcame the challenges, poor decisions I made, a new home and town, and most of all being in a place where I was on my own.

Today, my life is grand and every challenge I faced was put before me for a reason. I am a more humble, honest, happy, spiritual, kind person today and all because I had a turn learn all over again what life is really about and what is really
important.  I have no regrets because I learned a lot from my changes but am grateful I made them because today my daughters and I are the BEST we have ever been.

I have learned to live a more frugal life style and appreciate the small stuff, recognize the importance of friends and family, am grateful for our health and just to simply be happy with the life I have chosen and been granted. I love my life and it means so much to me since I have embraced it.

Love,
