Letting Go

I took the day off to see the children off to their first day back to school. I was both excited and saddened at the same time. I spent the day keeping myself busy to keep my mind off of things. I have been more open with who I am to others, but some do not accept you as you are or who you are to become. I know the challenges I face are part of my growth but when it comes to saying goodbye its never really easy. I hope my children are better able to handle and tolerate issues of acceptance better than I was. I hope they will always accept others for who they are and I hope they will not change for others (unless its to better themselves). For me, staying in the spiritual closet caused me weight gain and depression. So when I finally moved forward I had to decide if being accepted by others was more important than being true to myself. I am glad I have come forward. I have met so many great spiritual teachers, witnessed miracles, and learned from spiritual leaders of our time. And I look forward to meeting more, as I continue to go forth and help others.
I pray... "God, thank you for supporting me and guiding me to be a great helper to others. I work for You to serve others, and You continue to reward me well. Please give my children a million times more then You have given me, I understand the importance of tithing, and I love nothing more than to give to others who are in need. Thank you for teaching me the importance of unconditional love, nonjudgement, and continue to bestow blessings for those who come and go from my life. Amen."
