MAYBE
a book about hope
While working on MAYBE, book two of The Graceful Energy Series…I came across something written on a post it note. It was stuck between the pages of one of my journals that I had written a few entries in a while back and on this particular day was editing those writings. It was my handwriting and the post it note was from a hotel in New York that I love and had visited a while ago. The words are quit simple yet I feel they deliver a powerful message of spirituality. The message was written precisely at 11:11pm on New Years Eve 2011 while I was at home with my two daughter’s beginning to celebrate the New Years arrival. The bells were going to ring in the New Year within the hour and this message came to me like someone had turned on a switch. My daughter’s and I have a special tradition on New Years Eve…we write our wishes for the new year on a teeny tiny piece of paper then roll it up like a scroll. We then place it in our champagne flutes…mine full of champagne, theirs full of bubbly soda. We then drink in our wishes for the year and when the glass is empty we take the wet scroll out and place it in a special window sill…as if the wishes fly out into the universe. We share this tradition every year and had just finished drinking our wishes…then I remember looking for my favorite fountain pen and decided to use the pad of post it notes I had from the hotel in New York and we had just used to write our wishes on. I knew whatever the message was that was coming needed to be journaled in a very special way and I wanted my fountain pen to write it with. The message that flowed out is titled 'All that I am'.
All that I am
Allow me to be all that I am
and all that I am not
allow me to be willing to
give up all that I know
for all that I do not know.
Ringing in the New Year has been a very significant event for me over the last several years. Especially now being on the threshold of saying goodbye to 2011 and welcoming in 2012…which I believe offers all of us a new doorway to pass through. 2012 has been misinterpreted by many who think negatively about the unknown of the New Year. This is my personal interpretation of 2012…
