Help!! Help!! Help!! I screamed out to the Universe. I can't DO THIS!!! Why have I been asked?
This was the state of my mind in September of 2003. My son who was an infantry scout with the United States Army was about to deploy to Afghanistan on what I thought was a 6 month tour (ended up being 10 months).
How could I stand at the airport and hug this beloved child of mine good-bye? Why had I been brought to this place of such emotional desperation? How was I going to get through this?
These thoughts just rolled around and around in my head. Tears of fear and frustration were my constant companion. How had our world turned into this place of war and fear and them against us?
Please!!! Please!!! Answer me!!!
And It did!
In a moment, the concept of Surrender crystalized in my being and saved me from myself. All that I knew spiritually, solidified into one thought. Surrender.
I felt peace...I said so long to my son....I did it again when he went to Iraq...I created a product and wrote a book about Surrender.
Why was I brought to this Dark Night of my Soul? To help others and that is what this lens is all about.
If you would like to learn the concept of Surrender. If you would like me to pray with you. If you would like to have me come and teach in your city. I am here for you.
To each and every being....as above so below...as within, so without.
Once again I was recently called to Surrender in a profound way. In my life, my own day to day problems and troubles have never been that hard to let go of, but when it involves my children, that is often another story.
Are you at a crossroad in your life where you want the after to be better than the before? Do you feel as though your life is not on "purpose"? Are you scared of what the future may hold for you or angry at what has happened in the past? If any of these themes ring true for you, than I would ask you to let go, and surrender.I am in awe and wonder at the response I have received from the Universe this morning.
I have been feeling very frustrated lately (I know this is not a good feeling to have). I have a passion/business/website that I love. I truly want and intend to be doing this work full time. However it is going slowly. I sometimes feel as though I should just give up. That it was not Divine inspiration (even though deep in my heart I know that it is).
I have been in resistance, even though I teach Surrender and it is my passion/business/website....I have been stuck in this frustration. Yesterday, I became VERY, VERY aware of how I have been resisting instead of ALLOWING. I re-read my own stuff (e-books, articles).....and knew I needed to re-think, re-program, re-align,.....FAST. LOL
And so I wrote a heartfelt Surrender prayer to the Universe and placed it into my Surrender Flag.
I wrote:
Ask & Allow
Ask & Surrender
I ask the Universe to help me create my dream, my passion, my business.
I ask for the tools and people I need to make this happen to come forth NOW.
I allow and Surrender to this miracle.
This morning I woke up with a song in my head. As soon as I became aware.... I heard;
You have to believe we are magic, nothing can stand in our way.
Right away I knew they were from an Olivia Newton John song from the 70's. I looked up the lyrics online and WOW.
What an answer.
WOW!!!!
I will share the words so you all can feel the LOVE. I hope it gives you inspiration and hope as well. These are powerful words from the Universe.
Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you
You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
Link to Olivia singing it:
I work with the public on a day to day basis and often hear commentary from people about the war. I am never shy to pipe in and tell them I am the mother of a veteran and I know first hand what sending a son off to war is about.

When I created the I Surrender This kit, I wanted it to be as environmental as my pocketbook could manage. It is made 100% within the USA...using USA craftsmen and companies.
We all have areas of our life that seem to keep us shackled in old-thought patterns. Which of these areas is the one that keeps you stuck?
