We all forget who we are sometimes, and I had such a moment in the wee hours of this morning.

I felt hurt by my sweet man.  I felt self-righteous and indignant and got up to send him an e-mail that reflected that.  And, there in my inbox was the Abraham-Hicks quote of the day.  When I saw it there, I KNEW it was going to contain EXACTLY what I needed to hear in that moment.  I was not disappointed.

When you focus upon lack in an attitude of complaining, you establish a vibrational point of attraction that then gives you access only to more thoughts of complaint. Your deliberate effort to tell a new story will establish a new pattern of thought, providing you with a new point of attraction from your present, about your past, and into your future. The simple effort of looking for positive aspects will set a new vibrational tone that will begin the immediate attraction of thoughts, people, circumstances, and things that are pleasing to you.

— Abraham

Oh, yeah.

When I read that, it actually felt impossible to me, but I’ve experienced their wisdom enough to know they were right.

So, instead of the scathing e-mail, I sat down to write the story of how I wished our encounter had gone instead.  I’ll skip the details and share where it took me, and for those of you not familiar with what I wrote at the end, check out my recent blog on Ho’Oponopono and the Law of Attraction.

… We always do what we can to fulfill each other’s heartfelt requests, and when we do not or cannot, we acknowledge that the request was made and explain why.

We are each responsible for our own happiness and we treasure and honor the privilege of being so close of being let “in” to each other’s hearts.  We hold each other’s hearts gently and lovingly and respectfully.

We know things about each other that no one else in the world knows – if only our shared experiences, but it goes deeper.  We know each other’s tender spots.  We know each other’s wounds.  We know each other’s triggers.  We know each other’s fears.  We know the places where we each find separation from the Oneness of our being. We love those places.  We kiss those places.  We may not agree and we may even feel hurt by them, but we realize that these places are not rational, are not logical.  These tender spots are not where truth lies, but they are what make us human, and in our human journey together, we rejoice at the opportunity to experience those places in ourselves and to have the honor to get close enough to another to experience those places in the other as well.

Sometimes those tender spots are not even compatible, and that is when we take extra care and love – when one person’s wound wants space and the other’s wants closeness to heal, for instance.  How to reconcile that?  It takes extra love and tenderness and care – because we both know that when our wounds conflict is when we can both misunderstand each other the most and feel the most misunderstood. We can even feel unloved in those moments, but we know the deeper truth.

We both strive each day to preserve and protect what we have together, in every way we interact with each other and the way we carry ourselves in the world.  What we have is so special, so rare, so wonderful.  It is worth the effort.  It is a joyful effort that pays off a million-fold in the beauty and joy and love that it brings back into our lives.

We are each human.  We have reactions.  We feel depleted and blame the other.  We feel hurt and blame the other.  We feel angry and blame the other.  We feel attacked and blame the other.  We feel abandoned and blame the other.  We feel the other is being unreasonable.  We feel misunderstood and blame the other.  We feel unloved and blame the other.  We feel un-heard and blame the other.  We are each human.

We have those passing thoughts and reactions.  They are connected to our tender spots, to our wounds.  One of the main reasons we have come together, that our souls helped us to find each other is to offer the opportunity to heal those wounds, to not run away from them but to stand in them and with them and love them and heal them.  We both know that if we run away at these wounded moments, we have not healed the wound and we will find another situation that creates the pain to remind of the need for healing.

And, we each know all that even when we may not FEEL all that in a particular moment.

Our love is true and unconditional and unmarred by such emotional thrashing about.  And, when we are not in that mode of reaction, we both Know Who We Are and What We Are:  LOVE.  And, we are delighted beyond words to share the experience of loving each other in a special way that includes a special closeness, … , and regular reminders of the beauty of two souls travelling a path together, the joy and fun of co-creation.

That is the story of my love.

Thank you.  I love you.  I forgive you.  I forgive me.  Thank you.  I love you.  I forgive you.  I forgive me.

Abraham was right, focusing on what I want rather than how I had been “wronged” completely shifted my energy.  I “know” this stuff.  I know the power of this stuff.  I teach this stuff, and sometimes I need to be reminded, too.

AND, a special thank you to Abraham:  Thank you.  I love you.  I love me.
