Transitioning from San Francisco to My “Ordinary” Life

For the last five days I have been in San Francisco at an ACIM conference. I had so much fun attending classes where I was reminded of the truth over and over in many different ways. I visited with old friends and made new friends. I felt supported and uplifted being in the presence of over 400 people who were there to remember and express their function.

This morning I am tired from the trip home, and a little thrown by the time change. I am not looking forward to returning to work. I probably should have scheduled my week differently. I have to drive about four hours today just to get to the first customer. I have to attend a board meeting tonight and help a group of people understand why they need to change their treatment process and why it is important. It will cost them more money and everyone is fearful about money. I can’t suggest they forgive the idea of lack. 😊

The Holy Spirit is helping me with this. He told me that this is the story the ego is writing around this perfectly neutral event. The ego loves stories, and all its stories have the same central theme. They all encourage me to feel vulnerable, weak, fearful, put upon, sad, angry, hateful, envious, or any other emotion that causes me to feel separate from my brothers and from God.

He encourages me to ask Him the purpose of today. When I do He tells me that I am to extend light today. He wants me to help all my brothers feel loved and cared for. Those board members are going to be afraid and will need my gentle reassurances. They don’t need any special buzz words, just my love.

Today already feels different. I am going to stop trying not to feel tired, and just allow myself to feel whatever the body feels without judging it. I am going to stop withing today was other than it is, and just allow it to be as it is. I am going to stop deciding what it all means and what I should do. I am going to step back in every instance and allow myself to be led, remembering that each word, gesture and feeling is an opportunity to forgive my projections and to extend light and love instead. This is no ordinary day. This is a day of salvation.
