As we gain awareness of what we are holding and carrying in the body—THE BAGGAGE—can feel very heavy.  As the baggage is sorted through, we can release and let go of the pieces that we don’t need any longer.  It is then that we feel the burden lifted and understand within ourselves that carrying a lighter load eases everything.  To lighten the load means to let go of the weight of the baggage—let go of the stress, the regrets of the past, and the anxieties of the future.  In my Christian faith, Jesus said to follow him.  His yoke is easy and his burden is light.  This to me is the daily discipline of prayer and meditation.  Another part of lightening the baggage is to become aware of the light, to pick up your cross and follow Him.  It’s the old battle of the ego and the heart.  Shall I keep on carrying this heavy cross or lighten my load and trust in the love that lifts my spirit?  My cross is so familiar, but it’s getting so heavy.  I can’t carry it by myself.  Let it go.  It’s easy.  Jesus’ burden is light.  In John 8:12:  “Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’”   So live, laugh and love often.  Life is too short.  Don’t miss any of it!

I am on this journey basically because I met Christ in a very personal way.  In a very small but real way I met a very large God.  The more you learn about God, the more you know yourself.  To know who you are meant to be, look into your heart.  The spirit will give you all the answers and reassurances and comfort that you need.

May the Lord bless you, 

And be present with you,

And fill your heart with pure joy and wonder!

Vaya con Dios!  Go with God!
