  SoulCollage Gathering

  At one point last month we had 16 folks signed up for our SoulCollage Night. Sheree & I were excited... and apprehensive... where would we put everyone? We decided to change the group from Sheree's house to mine since I have a dedicated room that is my yoga studio/office/reiki room/morning coffee room etc. My husband (and friends) converted our garage into this beautiful space surrounded with windows... it's lovely. So we put 4 long tables in, grabbed every chair in the house, borrowed from our church and had plenty of space.
  
  Ultimately, 5 people showed up. Counting Sheree & I that's 7 altogether.
  
  We had a great time. Went on well past time, really connected and shared. It's so funny, this has been our experience from the start with SoulCollage. We always get a lot of interest and then for a variety of reasons, most of which folks can't control, the group comes to the perfect size. Sometimes more, sometimes less, heck we've even had only one show up sometimes. Usually one really in need of undivided attention.
  
  It's difficult to get over the feeling of throwing a party and no one showing up. It's difficult for other people to resist asking, "so how many did you have?" and look pityingly at the small number. I have to admit that if I allow myself to judge quantity rather than quality, I will view my endeavors as less than successful. It's such a ridiculous barometer based on human nature and childishness that I feel blessed to get the opportunity to REALLY explore the truth of what's important.
  
  So, what's the truth? The truth is 7 beautiful souls connected on a level beyond superficial, beyond the day to day doldrums of life. They created, they allowed their intuition to guide them, they let go of control and allowed themselves to be led to beautiful and thought provoking insights to their soul. They laughed, they were brought to tears, they met each other's eyes and shared their common humanity. They all realized the light in them recognized the light in each other and bowed respectfully. They were one.
  
  They took a couple of hours to stop judging others by how many friends they have on facebook or how much money they made or what was the label on their clothes. In fact, the phrase most heard was, "I hear you, I've been there, I feel you...." And believe me, it wasn't about their jobs or the cars they drive or the size of their homes. It wasn't about who wins the award for being the most busy, although that's how they may live their lives outside of the group. For a few hours, they were nothing but themselves, creating works of art.
  
  Do I consider that a successful evening? Hell yeah. So much so, that I have decided to give the opportunity every week, every Sunday from 2-4pm. And what if no one shows up?
  
  Well.... I'll be there, won't I? And I am the One....that knows that One is enough.

  Today...In Anticipation

  I have some crazy stuff going on in my personal life that has nothing to do with my professional life so I'm a bit apprehensive about what this reading will tell me... But I am certain it will tell me just what I need to know...

  
  
  
  
  
  

  First Card: I am the One who is Peace. I am released from my cage. I am the One flying over the unreal castle. I am the One who doesn't have a place to land since I am bigger than the landscape. I am the one whose landing is filled with pointy arrows seeking to harm me. I must find a soft spot or keep flying. I am the One who is pure and cooing. I am your crown chakra, your connection to the real God.

  
  
  
  
  

  Second Card: I am the ruler of your throat chakra. I am the soft cuddly one who tries to soothe and carry the little ones on my back. I am the wise one rising above. I am the One who has told you to search for the green & blue lights. I can be very large and powerful when you need me. Speak your truth, give your hugs and go on your way. You will find the wisdom you need.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Third Card: We are your loyal companions. We are the ones who love you and stand by you unconditionally. We are your family. We are the ones present and past. We look to you wanting only love. We don't care about anything but being fed and being loved. In our eyes, you are okay just the way you are.

  
  
  
  

  Fourth Card. I am the One to remind you that out of fire and ice comes flowering. I am the One with the kind face. I am the One who knows the elements. Earth, Fire, Water & Air are what is important. I say to you: Remember your purpose, remember who you are and what you are made of. Remember your knowing. Use the elements to bring flowers.

  `

  So there you have it.

  `

  Really looking forward to the SoulCollage Night tomorrow... Have a card that's been circling my head for awhile, anxious to get started on it.

  `

  Hope to see you there!

  Peace & Joy, Linda
