Allison's Page

Dearest Allison,

I'm so sorry it didn't go as you planned. I know how hard you worked to make it happen and how much you risked to follow your heart and your dream.

Please, don't blame me.

I want nothing more than for you to succeed, for your heart to be fulfilled, for your dreams to come true.

But I can't control what happens. You have free will. Things will go wrong. I don't make that happen. But I let it...

Because you have lessons to learn, and I want you to…

Darling Allison,

Why is it you have such a hard time seeing the gifts you bring to the world?

Why are you so gifted at seeing the beauty in others, when you can sometimes be so blind to your own value and worth?

Oh honey, can't you see that you are as worthy of love, compassion, affection, affirmation, validation, success, and abundance as all those other beautiful souls out there?

It's all right there - yours for the asking, if only you'll believe it's possible.…

My darling Allison,

If you're looking for fulfillment anywhere outside of yourself, I'm afraid you'll ultimately wind up disappointed.

You won't find it in a lover.

You won't find it in a child.

You won't find it in your friends or family.

You won't find it on the New York Times Bestseller's List.

You won't find it in your bank account.

The only lasting fulfillment comes from within, where your spirit communes with Source and your soul comes back…

Dear Allison,

Let me teach you one simple trick for forgiving yourself over choices you wish you hadn't made.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I swear to you, darling, it's always true. At every moment of every day, you are doing what seems like a good idea at the time.

Afterwards, it might not seem so, but I promise, it's true.

Remember, there are always gifts in those things that seemed like a good idea at the time.

There's nothing to be ashamed…
