Just for today I will let go of worry.
I will let go of wondering when or how, and I will immerse myself in trust. Just for today I will trust that the Universe has my back. I will trust that the Universe is taking care of everything. I will trust that I don't have to do it all alone, and that the more I let go and embrace that, the more magic and synchronicity shows up in my life. Just for today I will acknowledge that love is more powerful than fear. I will remember that love is my natural state, and holding onto fear takes far more energy than letting go does. I will breathe deep and remember all the good things in my life. I will do all of this, just for today, because today is all there is. Today is the most powerful day of my life, and just for today, I will be in a cosmic, divine flow.

Today I had the fortune and pleasure to stumble up the San Francisco Flower Piano event. It's in its third year, and included with admission to the gardens as a way to deepen our appreciation of nature, music and creativity. As I walked around I heard the sweet serenade of a piano drifting out from behind some towering plants. I was in the Garden of Fragrance. There was something about hearing the piano, and not knowing who was playing or what to expect, that it made it a bit exciting. I came around the corner, and there was a woman filling the air with her musical gifts. All around the wind was gently blowing through the trees, harmonizing her music with the music of nature. It was serene, peaceful, uplifting and soul nourishing. I stayed for the next players, which was a true gift. It turned out to be a couple, with a girl on the piano and the boyfriend on the cello. I could not believe my luck to see these two people here, almost giving a private concert to the few gathered around, as we all drifted with the music. It felt as if we were in our own little, magical world, filled with beautiful music and exquisite scenery. When the music stopped I felt our world open back up, and I took a moment to breathe and say thank you for the gift I had just received. The San Francisco Botanical Garden will be hosting Flower Piano for 6 more days. There are 12 pianos in total, and anyone can play! You are allowed 15 minutes to tickle the keys, whether you're a professional or its your first time sitting down to play. Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots I give a holla to my sisters on welfare 2Pac cares, if don't nobody else care And, I know they like to beat you down a lot When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up And when he tells you you ain't nothin', don't believe him And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him Cause sister, you don't need him And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em You know what makes me unhappy When brothers make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women Time to heal our women, be real to our women And if we don't we'll have a race of babies That will hate the ladies that make the babies And since a man can't make one He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one So will the real men get up I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up - Tupac Shakur, Keep Ya Head Up Lately I have been practicing using a new phrase. You may have heard it before, it's not actually a new phrase - I'm just new to using it. I started because I've been having a hard time letting things go. I want to know WHEN and HOW. I'm getting caught up in the making it happen, which usually results in nothing happening. I wanted to get back to the allowing, but I felt like I had fallen down a well and there was no rope to climb back out on. The more I've been falling into these angsty feelings of control and doubt, the more I can feel myself contracting. The more I contract, the more I'm not receiving, and that just makes me more angsty, like I'm coiling up tighter and tighter. As I looped round and round in this, I decided to change the wording. I know what I want, but now I'm asking for this or something better. If I don't get it, no big deal. Something better will come along. This or something better Whew! That took so much pressure off. I felt like I could breathe again, and like I opened a window to fresh air for the first time in months. I had found my rope, and I was climbing back out of the narrow confines of angst. If you are spinning around in your own head, try using this phrase. It might be just what you need in order to relax, let it go to a higher source, and let in the inspiration, support and energy you need. "I want this apartment, but I'm letting it go, because I know I'll get this or something better." "I would LOVE to get that job, but I'm not worried about it, because I know I'll get it, this or something better." "I really really really super duper want to manifest a million dollars, but whatevs, because if I don't get it, I'll get something even better." I love the energy of the morning. I used to be a total night person, but in the last few years, I have been getting up earlier and earlier. Some days I'm even up before dawn. I love feeling the sun rising and breathing in all that potential and possibility. What magic will this new day hold? What surprises are in store for me?
