Rise Up

You know that book - Conversations with God?
Well, sometimes I have my own conversations.....
the other day, this is what I heard beyond my tears - 

Cathy, 
remember
I don’t do shame
Any shame you feel is not coming from me, my darling
I have given you life – do I want to diminish that?
You can walk into these new places with humility and grace
But not guilt
Or shame
That is not beautiful
Remember I am beauty
And beauty is full of grace, wisdom, gentleness and kindness. 
You can be kind and loving and gracious and beautiful even as you take this next step and rise up.
It is not about ‘pushing’up or striving in any way to rise.
It is about naturally doing what your body was meant to do
It is natural
It is pure
It is holy
And even as you rise – it does not push others down
It is not a rejection of others that you rise
It is not a negative towards others at all
It is simply shining
With the light I have put within you
Others can shine too
And you can shine on others
You can be kind to others and not lose anything
You can be generous and not lose anything
Because the fullness of light is within you
Just as the fullness of light is also within others 
if they open up
So, don’t be afraid of being loving, kind, gentle and beautiful
BE
ALIVE
And all my fullness will flow through you
Remember, we are dancing together
We are dreaming together
We are walking in light together
We are loving together
We are ALIVE
We are present right here, right now
When you are afraid of being loving, you are allowing yourself to go back to the past and let old feelings come to the surface.  What is important for you to learn is to stay present to me and then allow me to guide you in every ‘present’ moment.  Then we can create new ways of being and the most healing, the most nurturing, the most loving possibilities for your relationships.  And you open yourself up to the greatest Love opportunities.
Let us BREATHE together.  
Breathe with me girl
Rise UP.

Cathy, these are incredibly beautiful words. Thank you for shining your light and sharing your life's journey with others. I just wanted to thank you for your awesome concert on Saturday. We were blessed by your openness and honesty, and of course by your music. It was great to meet you.
