theMessenger - Gratitude in Change (Jul 07)

July 2007


This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness.
Some momentary awareness
comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!...

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond

- Rumi

The past month has been rich with opportunities for me. Aspects of my life have been plucked up by the root, tearing into the soils of my heart and mind. Yet my practice is gratitude. I have learned what it is to truly navigate the path that I preach. I am experiencing pain without strife... separation without judgment... and the abyss of the unknown without fear. I have been guided indeed... to bear witness to how far I have come, and to spiral ever-higher in my awareness and abilities to be present and loving.

I want to thank each one of you whom has been a witness to me - as I have shared much of my personal journey on The SHiNE Blog in hopes that my daily illuminations might shed some light on your path. Remember, you can set up RSS Feed to any blog, to stay up-to-date on postings that inspire and inform.

May your summer be filled with the brilliance that feeds you on every level. Please contact me if you feel called to SHiNE among others, or in a one-on-one coaching session.

I am pleased to announce that I will be bringing back the Sensation Matters focus group (aka: A SHiNE Circle), Thursday evenings mid-August. This is an opportunity for you to experience the power of spirit-based group coaching to activate your brilliance this fall. Hope to see you!

SHiNE On,
Candice
