Sheila is a good friend and long-time member of the Celebration Circle who moved out of state last year.  I saw her briefly over the Thanksgiving weekend; just long enough for a quick hug and a few words before she had to go off with her family.  Said she'd been wanting to call or e-mail me with some questions she's been wrestling with.  But she'd been reluctant, knowing of my on-going struggle to keep up communications with the many people seeking my input on things.  So she hadn't.
 
I smiled.  Admitted she was right.  Thanked her for her thoughtfulness.  And then said, "Please call or send your questions anyway.  It really doesn't matter whether I have any feedback or not.  What matters is your willingness to ask your questions.  Being able to focus and ask for support clearly and concisely virtually guarantees that you'll get the answer and/or support you need.  It may not come from me, and it could come when you least expect it.  It could come from your child, a neighbor or a total stranger.  From a dream or a phone call.  It's not your job to figure out who, how or where the response comes from.  Your task is simply to get clear on what you're asking - and then ask..."
 
Reflecting on this exchange afterwards, I realized I was really just talking to myself.  Inviting my Self to get clear.  Which I did.  Found it to be very helpful, too.  So now I'm inviting you to do the same.  Is there something important you've been meaning to ask?  Something you'd like to shine some light on in your life?  Feel free to ask me if you want. Perhaps even better, write your Self a letter, then put it away.  Or burn it.  Just turn your question(s) over to Spirit, without getting attached to who or where your get your answer from, much less when it arrives or how.  I'm pretty sure you'll find the support you seek.  This I believe:   "Ask, and you shall receive."
 
With blessings,
