Today’s aligning is about you being here. Even if I’m writing and recording this series to share with one other person, I’m glad it’s you. You matter. When it comes to what I do, I’ve often said, “I don’t want anyone who is not drawn to my work to read it.” The reason for this is because it’s not for them, at least at this time.
I’ve read a lot of books on my journey. Some I connect with and others I don’t. My favorite story of this is when I attempted to read, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle when it first came out. I tried reading it, I didn’t get it. I tried listening to the audionbook, I kept falling asleep. One time I tried doing the combination of both, but I just couldn’t get into it. When his book, A New Earth came out, Oprah did a series on it with Eckhart Tolle. That made all the difference. The next time I went back to read, The Power of Now, I was ready for it. It all made complete sense and it helped me to open my eyes in some very important ways about the toxic relationship I was in. I had never even got close to that part of the book when I attempted to read it before. I wasn’t ready to read it until I was ready to see the lessons I needed to get out of it.
Ever since, I read, watch, and listen to what I’m drawn to, and if I’m not connecting to it at the time, I know it’s not for me in that moment. It doesn’t mean I will NEVER be. There was one book I struggled to get through but I kept feeling like I was meant to see something in the book. When I saw it, I knew it.
My point in all this is that you being here and continuing to listen and/ or read with me tells me this is for you too. If someone isn’t meant to see or hear my words, they won’t. We can’t make people be somewhere they aren’t, so when I say I’m so grateful that you are here with me, it’s because I know what it means to feel aligned with someone’s work, and I’m so grateful you are here on this path with me.

When it comes to journeys like this, do what feels right for you. Remember, even if you are following along with my prompts, the journey is still yours to make the most out of. I learned a long time in Al-Anon to take what I like and leave the rest. Like I’ve said before the aligning process raises our intuition. Trust that what and who shows up in your life during this process has a reason. Sometimes it won’t be pleasant because we need to see unhealthy patterns that we have in order to get rid of them. Sometimes the most awesome people will show up and it’s a whole new adventure of beautiful aligning. That’s what happened the first time I did this aligning series. Enjoy the people who like the changes that are unfolding within you, if they recognize them, it’s because it aligns with something within them.
