The Universe works quickly!

Ok, so you know that The Secret has been changing my life. I have requested and thanked the Universe for so many things and I am so filled right now.  I have asked for things not just for myself but for those that I love.  I have felt that my way of living my life now would be too far fetched for some people to understand and without negative judgement.  However, my sister, who I thought was too focused on "The Good Book" to explore other things, surprised me this morning with a very deep spiritually open conversation.  She is heading in the same direction as I am with loving myself and taking advantage of God's wonderful gifts to us, especially the gift of asking for whatever we want and need.

My sister and I were best friends when we were kids.  Unfortunately, at times we neglected our baby sister. I am happy to say those days are over and we are all very close and understanding of each other.  I have always found it easy to talk to my sister.  When big sister got into high school and got into boys, we kinda separated because I wasn't into boys yet.  My sister is married with three children.  For the past few years, she and her husband have had some marital issues and are really struggling right now to show love to each other, partly because they haven't loved themselves properly first.  The ironic part is even though she has been with her husband longer and has children, we are both having the same issue with our men: they don't seem to want to love themselves.

When you love yourself, you take care of yourself mind, body and soul.  I admit I haven't always loved myself well in the past but that is all I want now.  I love me.  For the first time ever, I can say I truly love me.  Every part of me.  I am getting to know myself just as I would get to know someone else if I were falling in love with them.  It is a really good feeling to experience and a great place to be in.  My sister is in the same place now too and that makes me feel sooo much joy!  Now we just need to get baby sister on this page and we will all be more dynamic than we have ever been in our lives!!!  The universe, God, is commanding us to fulfill our paths and use our gifts.  I use to be afraid of that because I have always known that I was meant to impact the lives of many people.  I felt too stressed, too much pressure, not good enough, unworthy.  I feel the exact opposite of that now.  Fear is turned immediately into a motivator!

Anywho, I just wanted to share the wonderful experience I had with my sister this morning.  And well, I don't want anyone to think that I have much against the bible or christianity. I called it the good book for a reason.  The bible can be a wonderful spiritual guide if we use it just for that and not a literal text and man-altered translation that seeks to hurt and destroy people.  Christ's teachings are about love.  Loving yourself, loving your friends and family, and even loving your enemies. I just read some profound in The Daily Love.  "There is a major difference between trying to prove your love and simply sharing your love."  Those words are so enlightening for me.  If I feel so filled with love, don't I have more than enough to share?  Especially with my husband?  is there a bit of hesitation to share this love because I was fragile in the past?   Perhaps so.  I will share this with my sister and we will both continue to pray for our husbands and wish wonderful things for them!
