When it’s time to make a change, I’m not always clear on my next direction. I know things need to be different, but I’m not sure what different looks like. That’s when it’s time to step outside the box. That’s when it’s time to open to infinite possibilities. And what’s the best way to open to the infinite? Ding ding ding. Ask! As I listen to Spirit’s guidance, my world is expanded and enriched beyond measure.

Dear Meli, I recently started dating a wonderful woman. I’d been in the dating pool for a few years since my wife died, and I didn’t find anyone I really connected with. Until now. There’s just one thing. My new sweetheart is an atheist. She doesn’t believe in any kind of spirituality. My sp...

New beginnings are exciting. But they can also be scary. It’s good to acknowledge both of these emotions. When I acknowledge the fear, I can ask for help. Including and especially from Spirit. As I ask for and receive this Help, the excitement of my new beginning moves into the forefront. This is cool! I’m creating a whole new life! And Spirit is helping me!

I am a unique creation of the Divine. The specific amalgama¬tion of mind, body, and spirit that is me has never before existed. And it will never exist again. Whoah. That’s pretty groovy. Can I celebrate that today? I think I can. I know I can! As I learn to celebrate the unique creation that I am, I have more and more energy to celebrate others as well. Then the party really gets started!

Every time something happens in my life, I am in total control of how I see it. Is it a horrible happening that sentences me to a life of doom? Or is it a blessed event, full of benefits and opportunities, even if I can’t see them all yet? It’s up to me which view I want to endorse. Particularly for things that initially could be seen as “bad.” When I focus on benefits and blessings, that’s what shows up!

Every day, I get to choose how I see the world. Do I look for love? Do I look for joy and cooperation? Or do I look for stress, strife, and trouble? Realizing that I am at choice in how I look at things is a huge revelation. Sometimes it’s a revelation I need to remind myself again and again! Am I feeling discouraged? Time to remember to look for Love. It’s always there, waiting for me.

Anger isn’t an easy emotion. Learning to simply feel my anger without acting out in rage takes time and patience. Once I learn to do this, however, my anger is a wise teacher. I can notice what it’s telling me. Has a boundary been crossed? Is there something I need to do or say? As I allow my anger to teach and direct my actions, with Love, my world is empowered.
