Okay, I can hear you saying: “Why should I do mirror affirmations? It really seems silly. And say them out loud? Even more preposterous! Anyway, aren’t affirmations pretty ‘Sixties’? No one does that anymore! I am a modern person. I don’t need those affirmations and affirmations that go with the ACIM lessons are really a step too far. I will just read the lessons and, Barbara, even if I have your book, I will just read the affirmations when I read my daily lesson.”

I was preparing for my trip to see the folks in Florida. Joyful! Joyful! I spent the day before I left with my beautiful granddaughter. We often draw, paint, or make things together and as we do, we talk. She shares about her friends or school and I share some of the lessons/gifts I have learned on my spiritual journey.
I had the idea of making valentine cards for each other. It started with hearts and border designs in pinks and purples. She likes to draw cats and dogs. She drew us standing next to each other with big smiles and birdies flying around us. Singing, of course.

I ask myself this all the time. Why me? What is so holy about me that He has given me what so many others lack? What have I done of any real good that entitles me to miracles? His miracles.
I’ve known, from the moment I first opened A Course in Miracles that the words were already resonating within me even as I read the first principle of miracles, “There is no order of difficulty in miracles.”

I was on my way to a Continuing Education Class — the kind where you have to clock in all the hours or you will not receive credit for the course.
Class started early, so I was driving in the weekly morning traffic. All of a sudden the cars in front of me starting veering off the lane. As I approached, I saw there was a large turkey that had been hit by a car, but had not been killed — he was severely injured and his legs were kicking and flailing.

There was nothing to eat in the fridge. I decided to stop at my local grocer on the way home. I drove to the store, selected a shopping cart, walked through the sliding door, dug through my bag for my shopping lists on my phone and suddenly just froze in my tracks. I realized that I had no special lists for nutritious foods or drinks. In fact, I had no grocery list at all. Richard, my husband of 30 years, had passed a week before. As a full time caregiver, I had not considered what I wanted to eat in months. I had no idea. This was the first of many poignant moments to come after my husband’s transition in 2015.

THE PAUSE is a relaxation practice — real relaxation. When we relax — which is different from being a couch potato — we are much more able to let go of thoughts, feelings and judgments of our self, others and situations that are weighing us down. Step back is “The decision to get out of my own way.” I notice that when I am willing to Step Back, to get out of my own way and I am willing to allow room for another way, mental strain loosens its grip on my mind, feelings overtaking my heart lighten up and the muscle tension in my body begins to soften.
