Hello and welcome to A Call for LOVE. I believe the most powerful gift you can offer yourself is to give and receive love more freely. I'm your host, Linda Orsini, meditation guidance, spiritual coach. Everyone has the desire to be seen, heard, respected and loved. The journey to becoming more connected to your greater purpose lies within the ability to live from the deep source of love within you. Let's begin.

Every morning when I wake up, I do my morning practice. And then I go downstairs to write in my journal, three things I would like to accomplish. Well, those could be personal and business. It doesn't matter. But I like to have three main accomplishments each day that I've purposefully put my attention to. And sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. And that is been a little bit of a challenge for me, because sometimes I think I know what I need to get done, I want to get things done. But life just has other things thrown in the mix, and they don't get done. So it's like hitting a lot of roadblocks. And I don't know if this happens to you. But I know it happens to me. And it's very frustrating because sometimes we take five steps forward, and then three steps back. And sometimes we take 20 steps forward. And then another two steps forward. Life is not predictable.

But what happened to me is I was reading I love I'm an avid reader. So I came across this really fabulous author, his name is Richard Wagamese. And he wrote embers, one a jib ways, meditations. And in his book of poetry and dialogue, he dialogues a lot with himself and old woman. I'd like to share with you what he wrote. He begins with himself me. I can't seem to get anywhere in my life. Or a woman without creator. Say what you said again, only add without creator at the end. Me I can't seem to get anywhere in my life without creator. Old woman. Did you hear that? Anytime you're telling yourself there's something you can't do, can't solve, can't change, can't accept, say it aloud and add without creator. Add the same words to all the things you can do as well. Me, I can get anywhere in my life with creator, old woman. I think you got it my boy.

I love this because it really created a huge awareness. I know I am a very spiritual person and I try to you know follow the teachings. But I get lost in the hustle bustle of modern day life and society. And I often think I know what's best for me when in reality I don't. So what I started to do is in the morning, when I'm writing down my three goals for the day, I've written at the top with spirit I will. Now Richard wagamese wrote with creator you can choose whatever resonates with universe with creator with spirit. I like to use with spirit. So with spirit, I will. And I've written out my three things. Now, this is where the next step comes in. You have your intention. But if it's not in line with your highest good spirit will not deliver. And that's where we can get in the way our ego or our wants or needs. Thinking that we know more than then really what's best for us gets in the way. So we push. Things don't go smoothly. We're not in flow. When in reality we are not separate from spirit. We are one with the universe. And Richard Rohr, a spiritual author and speaker says we cannot attain the presence of God because we're already in the presence of God. What's absent is awareness. So as you create your day, and as you move through your day, creating intentions are you doing with with awareness? Are you forcing things that are not meant to happen? Or are you allowing the natural order of what is in your highest good to manifest? So I've had this happen so many times in my life, where I said, today, I'm going to start when I'm creating my podcast. Today, I'm going to choose a name for my podcast. Well, do you think anything flowed? Absolutely nothing. I kept on hitting roadblocks. Nothing worked, nothing resonated. I had to wait until I was ready. I had to wait till I was in flow. I had to do it with spirit. And then a call for love came and right away. It felt right. It felt perfect my heart saying I felt joy.

So now when and I often forget, because that's the way life is. And that's the way the human condition is we forget to reconnect with spirit with source. And the best way to know when you're disconnected is when you're not in flow. So when I'm not in flow, I really stop and pause, create some awareness. Is this in my highest good, I don't know. But spirit or universe does. So I'm going to trust, I'm going to trust that the flow is the indication of what's good for me or not. If it's not flowing, I abandon the mission. I change direction. And that is how I've really moved forward in my life. I think it's a huge, huge revelation. I shared it with one of my sisters. And she loved it too. She's a big tennis player. And she says, with spirit, I'm going to have a great tennis game. And sure enough, she does. It just just brings me delight. The point is, is that you use it wherever you want in your life, where it resonates. And see what the magic that happens. With Spirit I will with universal light and love I will. So it's a call for love. It's a call for noticing. It's a call for awareness. Give it a try. See how it changes your life, your flow your direction. And always from my heart to yours. Namaste.
