Love wins again.

Happy almost Friday, Loves!

As I sit here and reflect today,

Thankful and open,

I am just reminded of how far I have come –

And refueling my tank with JOY for where I still want to go.

I had the fortunate surprise today to see one of my greatest healers and teachers, Sherry Schaffnitt. Sherry has enriched my life in many ways – especially with her gift and connection to spirit. I have had many readings with Sherry in hopes to connect with my parents, spirit guides, and gain some insight on the life I am living and all the experiences I have had.

She has connected me with so much.

A supported, empowered, and influencer of healing and hope.

And today,

She did it again.

Not only did I receive the gift of connection -

To see her was quite wonderful!

She also reminded me that we are here to experience life,

and to feel the experiences - all colors of the emotional rainbow,

so we can learn and evolve - always being that little bit better!

(isn’t she wise…)

Which just made me laugh because last night in the Kenney household,

thats exactly what we experienced:

Emotion

and Growth.

Just like any relationship,

We all have our ups, our downs, and those mundane moments in between.

It was a mundane moment –

Not too exciting in the least

But, maybe just maybe,

Us Kenney’s might have had a little extra “sass” for the mid-week hump/slump.

I mean,

We are only human right…

It happens!

James and I found ourselves feeling the energy of a long and tiring day,

And weren’t exactly seeing eye to eye about something we were talking about…
(about what – I am not even sure at this point – that’s how small it was!)

Where we could have let the tension invade our space and night,

We took a little pause and gave us both some space,
To breathe.

Reflect.

Reframe.

And hopefully,

Renew ourselves from this current sticky and not to fun situation.

When emotion is consuming your space,

Logic and rationale are long out the door.

Hi Emotion = Low Logic.

We both were able to recognize this.

I took a shower.

He ran errands.

All would be well.

At least that was the hope.

We both had a choice to make and the choice was as simple as this:

I can choose to continue to participate in the tense energy – making mountains out of teeny tiny mole hills,

Or…

I can move forward with love, forgiveness, compassion, and grace.
I can let go of any point I have to prove and remind myself he is only human, and I am only human, and we both are doing the absolute best we can do with what we have.

Choices.

Either let it go and move forward (with LOVE),

Or stay stuck on something that I can’t even name.

(have you ever gotten upset and then you stay upset but can’t even remember why you are upset??? Or is that just me!??).

I wasn’t sure which direction he would go with his space.

But I knew where I wanted to go with mine.

I let myself have my moment.

And then I let myself let it go.

I got out of the shower, cleaned up what I could, and prepared dinner.

I checked in with my energy and reminded myself what I feel is what I am putting out into our home and into our food – may this nourish us – may this heal us – may this bring us closer.

Where could I let myself soften a little more?

Personal evaluation of my mind, my body, and my spirit – because step one is always awareness. Step 2 allows us to move from that awareness into something better.

I waited patiently for him to come home and was so eager to see my man coming through the door.

Ahh… we both had time to cut the cords of tension and embraced the ability to change and create the evening of peace, love, and ease we deserve!

What were we upset about anyway???

The energy changed.

We changed.

And the cherry on top:

He too moved forward from this hiccup with Love and surprised us with dinner!

Which just validates the lesson I continue to learn and live:

if we participate in LOVE

(over fear, over ego, over having to have our point proved, or our expectations met)

There will always be an ABUNDANCE!!

Not only did we have dinner,

We also had lunch for tomorrow –

And even a little midevening snack!

THANK YOU, ABUNDANCE!!!

If I had gone another route,

Participated in self-righteousness – anger – irritation – human-ness,

We might have gone hungry….

We might have spent more time and energetic capital on something that doesn’t even matter….

Who knows…

I am just glad we didn’t.

IF we had gone down the other path,

Emptiness would have prevailed.

Disconnection would have prevailed.

Fear would have won and our Hearts would been harmed.

How thankful I am we chose to go the other way.

How thankful I am we can choose to change –

Choose to see “it” in a different light.

Choose to see ourselves in a different light.

So, the lesson I continue to learn and live and smile with is that LOVE is all that matters.

The more I practice to participate from a space of love and forgiveness,

The more abundance comes to me in my life.

The more I let Love expand and conquer my fears,

The more life I truly live – at peace, at ease, in AWE of this life I have been given.

Behind me are many moments where I would have let my idea of being right prevail.

Behind me are many mistakes – where I let fear override my innate nature to love.

Behind me are many lessons – which I now am using as reference, guidance, and a compass to move me forward in my life. It has not been easy. And it has not happened over night. But here I am – moving forward in my life with love.

And If I can do it – so can you!

May we ALL move forward in LOVE.

May we cut the cord anything not serving us,

and embrace our highest truth:

we are LOVE.

May we give ourselves permission to change,

And to be the change this world needs.

The light and love in me,

Honors the light and love in you.

We got this. One brave, compassionate breath at a time.

Let me know how you are evolving in love – may we be the ones we have been waiting for!

Namaste,

Keri
