Check me out- I’m married!
Still somewhat out of commission as I take the month of July to honor my new marriage!! We had the best week of non-stop partying, eating and hanging with friends and family who came in from around the world. I must say I miss cooking for groups of 20 and it’s slightly lonely here. My lovely Dorothy came in from SF to marry us. We had an amazing ceremony (the rain stopped for long enough to get the job done) and I thought I’d include one portion of it.
 This is a combination of passages from A Course in Miracles and Momentum by John-Roger and Paul Kaye:
Love is given to everyone just as the sun shines on everyone. Not everyone, however, wants to stand in the sun. So, you are the one that determines the level of your experience with love. Love sits by you until that time when you will let love flow through.
You do not have to love personalities. People are not their personalities.
Then what are you? You are living love. You always have been. Let your loving lead you into awakening and the discovery of what you already are.
You may not always be clear in your direction, but if you keep moving and let love lead, the direction will clarify itself. And when it does, ask, “Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him?”
People often say that love will cure the world. But this is not exactly true. It is loving that cures the world. Loving is action. Loving is manifestation. Loving is movement. Loving is the consciousness of giving.
Even in the midst of conflict, you can allow love to lead you. Most arguments between husbands and wives are about the yearning underneath the words. Usually the person is asking to be loved as they are, without demand for change, without judgment. Listen for love. Love knows that you got married for a good reason and that was to learn to live and love unconditionally.
When difficulty happens, you have the ability to raise yourself. Don’t contract from your experiences. Bless them. Love them. After all, what could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?
Love your consequences. They are your opportunity to learn. They are your opportunity to gain wisdom. They are your opportunity to properly identify with what is true.
And remember.
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
I’ll be MIA for a bit-camping with my new husband and the dogs. Married life is great so far.
caio for now,  NicoleÂ
