Illuminate the Stories of your Soul
FROM THE MORNING NOTEIlluminate. As I sunk into the covers, I grabbed my sacred journal and started to write. Word over word, tripped and tumbled from this liminal space onto the page. Irritated, I could finally see what my body was no longer alone in experiencing…this keen awareness of a mental script titled “fear: not living up to my own expectations.”
Is it true?
Illuminate. It was easier to hide in the shadow of perception, once upon a time. I could step upon a path well-traveled and be rewarded. It was familiar. And any stumble was excused with “Oh, yeah. I know how it is.” Until it wasn't. I flashed back to my black leather jacket unzipped with sun-kissed skin underneath, messy curls pinned up, and face beat for the gods (i.e. flawless makeup)…as I hid underneath a wooden staircase, swaying to “One In A Million.” I was alone in front of the light. My Soul had recalled a photo of me at a pop art photoshoot in my 20s—posing.
Illuminate. To ‘pose’ comes from the Latin word pausare which is ‘to pause, halt, rest, cease’ and is influenced by the word ponere which is ‘to place’. Now as I enjoy my days in soft cotton and linen clothing, loose curls along my cheeks, and face make-up free, I wonder what was I pausing to notice…to see. What was I placing before the lens to rediscover or remember again? A modern definition of the word is ‘to set forth or offer for attention or consideration.’ What was I considering?
“
Me.
Who I was. Who I was to be. I wanted a different way to see—to uncover who and what I am to me. I was always seeking. It wasn't ‘til much later that I realized the One that I'd been hearing all along was You.
You fulfilled my every dream.
—20s me
Illuminate. In an instant, these words on the page pierced my fear of not living up my own expectations, and Grace rained. I fulfilled her every dream. As I am. I am who she wanted to be. I am who whispered loving encouragement in her heart, held her in warm arms in her dreams, and lit her inner world with magic, beauty, and Mystery. She sought to be freed and in her seeking, she found and freed me. I am the One she called Soul. Now I see. I am the One I dreamed.
What are you now reconsidering?
Illuminate the Story of your Soul
February is a month of Illumination. Where you come to know what truly matters—well, more like Remember. This month you’re called to smell the roses where you are. And when you see life as slowing you down and feel the ‘need’ to move faster, stay here. These slower moments in your life are here to provide the potent space to rediscover who you are and what truly matters—only this ‘time’ with tenderness, kindness, and compassion. The Miracle within shall be shown to you this month.
Remember you are the Gift
This month. In the Garden of Grace mentorship & mystery school, we'll be deepening into the Stories and teachings of the Soul. During our class last month, we traveled in trance from who we thought we were deep into who we are becoming. One-by-one, each Steward in received their Guide to Joy—from ‘Dr. Truth’ to playwrights and Sufi masters to the Angelic child. Their homework from Soul? Write and get to know their Story.
Our Oracle channeling & class for February is “Illumination 101: Stories of the Soul.” Learn how to name and clear your hidden belief of unworthiness (the one triggers you to feel behind, unprepared, or not enough) and embody the forgotten Essence of your Joy. Together we’ll witness the Mysteries of your Life come forth like a warm hug from your Soul.
I invoke the loving eyes of my Soul. With perfect Love and perfect Heart, in the God Mind, I now have perfect Sight. Now It Is You I See. Show me. Show me. Show me.
Each week. In the Morning Note, we’ll explore the Grace of Joy in the quiet spaces of your Home. You’ll discover simple and sacred ways to illuminate the mundane with Light, beauty, and magic everyday. Ready to see through the eyes of your Soul?
This morning. Write a letter to You from who you were in your 20s. Pick a photo or a moment where you felt most unsure about who you were, as you posed. With a loving heart, ask about what they want you to see.
'Til Saturday…may you be lifted from the fear of not living up to your dream into the Timeless Love of Soul, eternally. For this remembrance of Mystery is needed when the mind confuses accolades for Peace. See you soon.
Gracefully,
Diamond
