Amidst all the beauty present at Living in Grace, I felt a bit like a wallflower this first time. So throughout my days of Grace, I called upon the comfort of the One who lives within me. Secure in our divine Partnership, I felt inspired to unfold naturally and fully with all who crossed my path. I soon discovered the abundance of blessings that already are when choosing Living in Grace.

Time and again, my partners of all ages and experience honored my innocence with patience and understanding, allowing me to open up in Spirit’s timing. Captivated easily by the loving Presence, I became aware inwardly like nothing ever before. My enthusiasm expanded with the ever-increasing awakening of my Soul, knowing I was surrounded completely with the protection of Spirit. I welcomed the freedom and allowed myself to experience Grace with every Soul who came my way.

I found courage and inspiration to stretch beyond any past limitations or restrictions. When I felt shy to reveal myself, my partners wrapped their loving around me, encouraging me gently to open up and not fear others’ judgments nor my own. Forgiving myself, I let go more and more and trusted my inner knower to take in and enjoy the glorious gifts from Spirit.

As I let go and let God, Grace brought me to a greater awareness of my strength and compassion. In each process, I served joyously as an instrument of divine loving, opening my heart regardless and returning to the innocence that always is. I endured to the end, and rested in repose with the Beloved.

Our long walks on the beach lulled me with the vibrant sounds of living love, soothing and preparing me for more to come. I will treasure forever the times we broke bread together, exchanging knowing glances in celebration and anticipation. Late night awareness of the One who laughs in my heart left me drunk with Spirit, I eagerly unfolded into the blessings of all that I am.

My gratitude overflows with memories abundant with sweetness. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I brought home a touching keepsake inscribed with tender words of adoration. I am confident a powerful seed has been planted. Although from Living in Grace I discovered multiple blessings already are, God knows more grace has yet to bloom.
