My favorite birthday gifts of all time (I now gift to you)
Dear Soulmate Manifesters,
I thought I would share with you the best gifts I have ever received.
1) The gift of self-care and self-love. It took many years of therapy, self-help workshops, prayer, meditation and WILLINGNESS, but learning to love myself enough to take care of all of me – physically, emotionally and spiritually is the best gift ever. Receiving this gift, that I gave myself, is what allowed me to be ready to manifest Brian.
2) The gift of not taking anything personally. Big thanks to don Miguel Ruiz for writing The Four Agreements, which taught me to never take anything personally. Miguel says that “nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.” Amen.
3) Learning to be quiet. I have learned that just because I have something to say (an opinion, judgment, point of view) doesn’t necessarily mean I need to share it. Sometimes by just staying quiet and letting others speak up is more “right” for me than trying to “be right” about something.
4) Choosing love over fear.When I think back to earlier years (especially in my 20’s and 30’s) when I would obsess about things and spin into a black hole of worry, I wish I knew then what I know now: that I and I alone control my thoughts and behaviors and that I always have a choice of choosing love over fear. Whew. Glad I finally got that gift.
I have two birthday wishes for this year: (1) that I continue to have even bigger and better opportunities to share my truth with all who wish to hear it: Big love is possible for everyone, at every age, if you are willing to put in a little time, attention and intention into your desires. (2) a trip to India in the Fall.
Wishing you love, laughter and magical kisses,
Arielle
