Life is about showing up.  When we show up things can happen, we can make decisions, we can share ideas, we can be in the flow of life. I think it was Woody Allen who said, 90 percent of life is just showing up.  If I believe that I am connected to Great Creator and I trust that I in my being am enough.  When God can use me as a channel.  I become the sacred vessel through which wondrous things can happen.  They can only happen in a way that I am suited to be because that is the gift that I am.  Being present is an acknowledgment that I am enough.  There is not something I “should” be or do or have.  I am adequate because I am in this moment with God. And because God has called me to be present in this moment I have the opportunity to be the best expression of God.  For some of you who may be an overachiever like me, just thinking, “I am adequate,’ starts a quandary of debate in my head about how that is ridiculous.  But that is my head that is talking, not my heart, not my spirit.  My head/ego always thinks there is something to prove.  But if the Creator of all creation created me as enough and loves me fully and completely, then what is there to prove?  Showing up means not being somewhere else in my head about how things “should” be or comparing myself to others or wanting to be somewhere else. Showing up means taking a breath and acknowledging that in this very moment, God is present in me and every one and everything around me.  In those moments when I think I want to not show up, I ask God for the grace to see through his eyes, with his heart, and his mind so I can bear witness to the love that is present in that very breath. My prayer for us today is that we be open to seeing the gift that comes to our heart-sight when we choose to show up and witness love.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
