What do you do when your 19 yr. old calls you sobbing from Sicily: ATM card doesn’t work, no one speaks English, dead computer power cord, too much bread and I wanna go home?
Well, if you’re anything like me, you clutch your stomach, feel your heart start to race and unleash a million thoughts ranging from panic -my- baby’s -in- trouble to resentment, anger, worry and back again – the lower end of the emotional guidance scale for sure. I heard the baby out there wailing and,like the mourners at tribal funerals, I started to wail in sympathetic concert.
Until I heard the wake up gong of my inner guides shaking me out of my vibrational swamp and reminding me that: “To hold someone as your object of attention while you’re connected to Source Energy, is the greatest gift that anyone could give. When you’re not happy, you don’t have anything to give…” (Abraham-Hicks)
So, in order to become “mom to the rescue” it took Abraham-Hicks to the rescue, and Byron Katie to the rescue along with Eckhart Tolle to the rescue. They are all on my team – like a fabulous string trio gently guiding me to keep my focus on feeling good, being here now and reminding me that without my stressful thoughts “all is well”. I can see so clearly that tossing and turning and churning isn’t doing my daughter or me a lick of good. I know that staying calm, focusing on the outcome I want for my daughter and on how I would like to be feeling as I deal with the details – is the best way to float downstream toward getting everything straightened out in an easy and relaxed manner. I can continue to enjoy my life, be productive and this will help my daughter refocus and enjoy being alive and well in Italy. What a radical concept!
I love being steeped in all this radical paradigm shifting energetic gymnastics. It’s a great metaphysical workout. I don’t have to get myself to the gym because I am always in the work-out room of the universe throwing balls, lifting weights, flexing my muscles and becoming ever more flexible and able to stop on a dime and pivot like a prima ballerina.
My daughter will or will not have a great time. I can only create in my own arena but I know that how I am has a big impact on her and that my good vibes are contagious and call the same forth from her. As hard as it may be to maintain my set point when she’s down – I know for sure (like Oprah) that it’s the formula for me to be the the best Law of Attraction Mom a girl ever had.
