Recently the Fairies shared an analogy using a certain trademarked name. So, for legal purposes, in my story I will refer to these a multi-colored chocolate pieces, or MCPs. I'm sure you have figured out which candy that melts only when inserted orally it is. If not, that is okay, it is not needed to understand the message.

A few weeks ago a good friend of mine was asking questions about her life and her path. The Fairies had this to say:

You spend too much time dissecting and analyzing yourself. Think about a bag of (MCPs). You can spend your time sorting out each color and eating them one by one or you can eat a whole handful of a mix of colors. The taste will be the same. The experience may differ slightly. The question is what feels easier and fun? You are the whole you. You can spend your time separating out the colors of you but sometimes just sit back and enjoy a handful.

I have been thinking about this and experiencing it in so many ways. Accepting me, ALL of me no matter what I label it, how I define, or if I completely understand it. Accepting life, ALL of life, no matter what happens or how it makes me feel. Accepting humanity, All of humanity, no matter how evil I believe someone is or how hurt I feel by them. Remember acceptance just means you don't deny it and understand it is Divine. It does not mean you approve, or like, or feel good about it. The idea is through acceptance you stay more fluid.

Since I have been practicing this and the idea of "Stand up, speak up, shine", from the Monthly Message, I have had some amazing experiences. The best example has been my recent experience with the Linkedin Group Collective Creativity started by Deepak Chopra. http://chopra.linkedin.com

After joining and reading a discussion I felt compelled to throw my two cents in (speak up). This lead to connecting with some amazing people and gave me a plan of action (stand up). It has been very fulfilling and it has made me once again push my limits and realize I do have a lot to offer a lot of people (shine). So I have been very focused on the Gulf and this group. The group is made of many different people all with their own unique wisdom (the many colors of the candy). It is through sharing our wisdom that we begin creating solutions, even if they are just helping others shift their consciousness (the delicious handful). When looking at the Gulf I can get overwhelmed. Then I started dissecting this problem into smaller issues (sorting out the colors); there is the oil itself and stopping the leak, the impact of the oil on people, plants, and environment, support for those who have lost their jobs, the companies that need help to stay "a float" (pardon the pun), and the metaphysical healing of the people and the planet, to name a few. If we focus on a little bit at a time then we can solve the bigger issue.

So I invite you to join our group, speak up in your life, look for ways to make a positive impact, and to accept yourself, your life, the world, and everything.
