A beautiful message flowed through me as I transitioned from sleep state into this morning so full of promise:  Remember the BEST of the BEST!  Immediately, without a thought, I dropped into the best recalling events and feeling experiences flood through me that fill me with hope and send joy bursting from the depths of me; leaving me grateful that I am here this day to come alive in ways that will certainly surprise, trusting the best will come because it will.  Knowing the best of me is the love within me and freeing this through the love of living so I might offer it to those I meet along the way. 

I grew up waiting for the other shoe to drop.  If life felt good, fear would wash over me anticipating something bad was bound to happen.  My stomach would hold this tension as my breath would be gripped by the fear, trying to control life, attempting to protect myself, to brace myself for the jolts.  These defense mechanisms didn’t stop the worst of times from coming because they couldn’t but they blocked the experience of the best of times.  Barriers we build around our Self trying to keep that which we would never wish for away actually keep the best of life at bay.  The well within us contains it all.  Where we taste the bitterness is where we taste the sweetness.  When we can be present to life, all that comes, the pain and the joy, the worst and the best, we live in the beauty of this dance free.  All life experiences are opportunities to return us home to the love we are so we can nourish our soul fulfilling our destiny in sharing this love through the living of this life.

The invitation this day is to remember the best of the best scanning your history and mining for the gold that is there.  Remember the best of you and others you have journeyed with whether it was a moment, a reason, a season or a lifetime.  Focus on the best of you!  Create a reel of memories flashing frame by frame the best of the best you are.  And invite more of the best of you to be revealed, to come out and play bringing joy to your life and joy to this world.  Write it out grounding the best and welcoming more the best to come forward and be counted this day.  Share the best of you all day long and feel how alive you are!  We have no control over the worst, the crappy things that will come; but oh my, offering the best of us, the love we are is the all-healing balm and has the power to transform the world right here, right now.  Claim the best of you so you can give it!  YOU da BEST and don’t you forget it!
