Mission Im-Possible

Family, Life, Purpose, Self-Love & Laughter

Have you ever felt so much you could barely feel at all?

Have you tried to hold yourself and others in compassion

While you held on with a will held in place only by a commitment to Divine Will?

That is how a lot of life has felt lately. I bet you can relate in your own way. These are intense times. We came for them, yes, and we came because we are the ones we’ve been waiting for (Clarissa Pinkola Estes) - and what I mean is we are the brave ones. Everyone is brave, but if you’re reading this, and you are not a bot, troll or anything like that, you are so courageous.

You have the power of heart. Your heart wattage is high. And you’re willing to use it wisely. Like me, you’ve screwed up plenty of times, but you are one of the committed ones, here to shine authentically, offering vulnerability, powerfully in a way that helps liberate, uplift and enliven humanity with the elixir of its True Self - worthy of grace.

Worthy of birthing soulutions beyond what we’ve seen so far. Worthy of thriving even in challenges that feel impossible. Sometimes bliss, joy and fun are only a few minutes and a slight energetic shift away. I have noticed that impossible and I’m Possible are only different in the small space the latter allows between the letters.

Today at lunch my husband brought me home a wonderful coffee beverage called a Monet and I made some yummy food with quinoa, sweet potato, golden potato, Lemon balm and mixed greens from the garden, and lots of love. Our son joined us outside to eat, and we ended up having a magnificent time filled with play and laughter - although only minutes earlier I’d felt so fatigued I had to lay down and wondered how much longer I could take how intense its been with the weather, the energies and the manipulation of both in my vicinity, the grief I feel over my daughters, the challenges in helping my son through his tricky spots with his own misssion and the stepping stones along it that have been really difficult - and the ordinary little things that happen from time to time, like the fact that I fell off my chair and nearly severed my shoulder the other night trying to reach something up high. I had that moment where I got to choose gratitude or “really?”

We all have stuff! I’m betting I’m not alone in sometimes thinking I bit off a bit more than I could easily chew when I chose my life’s mission and its various attributes.

I’ve been through the bargaining phase with God. And it was a big, big fail, as it is always is. So…

I decided to open and say yes to the space between the letters M and P.

M for Magnificent - or in the case of my coffee drink, Monet

P for Play and Purpose

By the Grace of God, we had such a blast laughing and talking outside on the deck. I can’t explain our style of humor, because it is so spontaneous and quirky and always evolving. I just didn’t know I had it in me to join in the frivolity, but there is nothing less frivolous than laughter in the times in which we are living. Laughter is medicine. I highly recommend you open to it at every opportunity, as long as it doesn’t involve cruelty. FYI, I believe satire and poking fun at the dynamics of those who currently have too much power can be done without actual cruelty. It’s a subtle art. Perfection not required, just intent. And there are always fart jokes, funny pet videos, actual funny pets and well, life in general, although that does tend to bring me back to satire.

These ARE the times.

The interesting times. The ones we signed up for and said YYYES to the growth, the opportunity, the miraculous opportunity to be of service in acute times and situations. Or maybe we were like “Okay, I’ll do it since no one else is volunteering. Someone’s got to take the plunge and make it easier for those who come next…

Each of us is a little different in our makeup, our role, our souls style, intentions and purpose - yet each of us is so perfectly aligned for the mission we came for - and all of us are here to discover how worthy we are to love ourselves unconditionally and learn to share that love with a world of humanity that is waiting for us to show the way to remember how to love ourselves through the impossible to the I’m Possible.
