| My dear friends, we love you so very much,
Take a breath. For a moment, let your mind drift to pleasant memories—perhaps places you’ve been, food you’ve loved, or people who make you smile. Ask your spirit to bring back a sweet, happy, or cozy memory—maybe a time you read a good book, or sat sipping tea while watching the rain.
For some of you, this will be easy. For others, a bit more difficult—but don’t give up. Just ask for a good memory and see what comes to mind.
Now, indulge yourself in a moment of nostalgia. See if you can remember more about this moment. If not, imagine it. Pay attention to the good feelings that arise. Allow yourself a little trip back in time, as long as it pleases you, noticing any memories of sights, sounds, feelings, tastes, or textures. Allow yourself to remember in as much sensory detail as you can.
Maybe you were petting a beloved pet. Perhaps you were a baby in a crib, watching a mobile drift above you in the breeze. Maybe you recall a first kiss, or the first time you felt someone’s hands in yours. Maybe it was the relief of being with someone who finally felt safe, or the innocent rustle of autumn leaves as you jumped into a pile. Whatever arises, go there. Be with the feelings. Allow yourself to feel the goodness of that moment.
What you just accomplished was one moment of the glorious life review you will have in the afterlife. When you eventually leave your body, you will be flooded with memories of magical moments in your life—things that might have seemed small at the time, yet were rich, abundant, and filled with love and good feeling.
Every day, dear ones, there are opportunities to experience the love that life has to offer. Every day, there are small moments filled with big love—the aroma of your morning beverage, the feel of your blankets at night, a smile from a random stranger, a shift of sunlight falling perfectly upon your face.
As you focus on life, you tend to notice what must be done, what isn’t done, what can’t be done, what others are doing, and what you think you should be doing—when right in front of you, in so many ways, there is love to be felt and found.
You are not wrong to notice the things not yet accomplished. You are curious about one another, and of course, you have goals and desires for yourselves. These things are all part of life and are fine to ponder. Yet there is a richness to be found when you pause, here and now, and look for something to marvel at..
Can you spend a moment wondering about the artist who designed the pattern on your dishes? Can you take a moment to smell the scent of nature around you? Can you stop and feel the texture of a pillow in your home and allow the nerves in your hands to come to life once again? Can you touch your face kindly and marvel at the million sensations that arise—and imagine the incredible chemistry happening just beneath your skin from that one moment of kindness to self?
You are miraculous beings living in a miraculous world. Millions of tiny beings—your cells—live in your fingertip! Countless relationships and reactions occur in your body with every breath. A single seed unfurls in the ground as the cells within divide and are birthed at a rate unfathomable to most minds. Dear ones, your world is stunning, brilliant, beautiful, and meant to be viewed through the eyes of wonder.
So when you find yourself fretting about the things you must do, or what others are doing, pause for a moment and simply look around. Find one thing to appreciate. Really study it. The deeper you look, the more you will find. That leaf contains countless cells, veins, colors, and life. The coaster on your desk holds artwork dreamed up by someone who loved beauty and color. The pencil in your hand was once a living tree, harvested, shaped, filled, and joined with an eraser by a tiny metal band. Dear ones, the miraculous abounds.
You have a choice. You can focus on what makes you feel bad, or you can focus on what makes you feel awe, inspiration, and wonder. And the more you gaze at the world through the eyes of wonder, the more wonder-full you will feel.
You will slip into a vibration of wonder in which you can feel your soul, perceive those in spirit, and see through the eyes of the Source and your angels. To us, all of life is magical and miraculous—filled with wonder and the love you brave souls have called forth by choosing physical incarnation.
There would be no pencils had humans not desired to write. There would be no mugs had people not longed for flavorful beverages. There would be no chairs had someone not wished to sit in comfort.
Your willingness to wonder, to let your mind wander and ponder, calls love into the physical universe in countless ways. Your good feelings matter. Your sense of wonder matters. Your desire to seek what nourishes your spirit is a willingness to enjoy the love so freely offered.
You may wonder how this pays bills, heals hearts, or mends bodies—but we assure you that in a flow of wonder, awe, love, and grace, solutions arise. Chemistry returns to balance. Inspiration comes. And you become catalysts for greater love in your world.
Approach your days with a sense of wonder, dear friends, so life may once again become wonder-full.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.
