Choosing Love and Embracing the New

As the year comes to a close, we are all being given some important choices to make, which involve letting go of the old and allowing the new to come in. These choices are requiring an increase in faith, as well as a new level of allowing more love in our lives, for ourselves as well as others. Remember, all choices which honor ourselves, will honor others as well. And the reverse is true as well, if we are not honoring our self, we are not honoring others.

For myself, I have had a most amazing experience with birthing a part of myself I had rejected long ago. This aspect of myself was a male inner child, approximately 10 years old, and he came back into my world kicking and screaming, showing his outrage and anger at having been rejected by me many years ago. He is now being reintegrated within, and I can feel his excitement, his self assuredness, and his energy which needs to be expressed physically

I have had flashbacks to the time in my life when this inner male was denied. At that time in my life, I really wanted to be a paper delivery person. This was in the early 60s, and at that time there were TV shows which showed these young boys riding bikes and throwing newspapers onto people’s steps or porches. They seemed self assured and confident in their body movements and actions. I so wanted to do this, but my father said girls do not become paper boys.

I had a male cousin, a few years older, who was a paper boy, and he allowed me to help him one morning. I remember it being one of my favorite experiences from childhood. I also remember being in this cousin’s tree fort, and wishing I had one of my own. But in my culture at the time, this was not accepted for girls, only boys, so I had to hide this little boy inner child away and reject him. He is now back in my life, and I am looking forward to him teaching me how to be more adventurous, self-assured, and active as we explore the world together.

Each of us has aspects within that we have rejected for one reason or another, but together they make us whole. Finding the gift that each of these aspects brings, and learning to love it in its entirety, is part of the journey to wholeness. May you embrace and love all aspects of yourself as we enter this season of shared joy and blessings.

Blessings of love and light to all,
Dee
