This week’s message came to me as I was getting ready to
head out for a fun-filled weekend to celebrate the 50th birthday of
a good friend. At the time I really didn’t think it would have much to do with
the weekend, but now as I sit, relaxed, post-fun at home I can see that yes, it
does indeed have some significance.
About seven of us women converged on the home of one
member of the group who happens to live in the lovely little town of Soquel,
right on the outskirts of Santa Cruz. On top of being in the midst of a cool
group of ladies, the weather gods shone brightly upon us. It was a great weekend,
all around. We got along wonderfully, in spite of our varied personalities,
backgrounds and life circumstance, which leads to this week’s message, what
does it mean to be an individual while we’re all interconnected?
As the message below states, recognizing ourselves as being
part of one big cosmic soup is important in that doing so we have a deeper
understanding of our impact on others. Though this doesn’t mean that you have
to forgo your individuality in order to “be one” with those around you. In
fact, individuality is what keeps us moving ahead on the evolutionary wheel.
Think of it this way, if a multitude of individuals
hadn’t made the decision to step outside the status quo (think Einstein, Gloria
Steinem, Steve Jobs …), where would we be?
Yes, it’s important to understand our energetic
connection, but let’s not forget the amazing gifts, talents and insights that
we each –individually – bring to the table. This is the color that makes our
big, beautiful world interesting.
With Love.

From Over There:
“Do not get trapped
inside the lives of others. Love them, but allow them to live as best serves
them. This means allowing them to experience the lessons that life presents to
them. This means supporting them, without an attempt to control their actions.
Each individual has a divine path that is unique to them.
Your
interconnectedness is represented in the effect that your actions have on one
another, not in the mimicry of another. Comparison to another takes away from
the validity of one’s personal gifts and attributes. These attributes are what
weave the rich texture of humanity together. For all to be identical, there
would be no advancement, no creativity, no inspiration. It is in honoring your
oneness through thoughtfulness – not the impersonation of another – that allows
the race to flourish and evolve.”

Here is an excerpt from George Carlin’s book, Last Words, on the subject of
individuality. For any of you who haven’t had the opportunity to hear Mr.
Carlin’s reflections, keep in mind that his language is colorful. I don’t know
about you, but I sure do miss him.
