To All Mothers, Sons and Daughters

It was short after midnight, June 10th 1999, and I had no idea I was about to be hit by a storm that would shake me up to my core and would completely change the trajectory of my life! I had just given birth to my first child and I was about to have an encounter with God.

That was the day I knew Unconditional Love for the first time.

I was left alone with him in my arms, just the two of us in the room. Already feeling the effect of the epidural disappearing, I looked at his beautiful face and all I could see was nothing but LOVE!

In a split second, THAT Love that cracked my heart open and planted the seed of the POSSIBILITY that I too had once been loved like that.

That POSSIBILITY was all it took to awaken an unknown part of myself! It opened a door to a new world and there it was... a storm unravelling inside of me.

Torn between the anger I felt for not feeling loved by my mom and the strange, unfamiliar and indescribable feeling of unconditional love for my newborn baby, I was far from imagining that a new world was getting ready to unravel and that I would forever be changed.

Even if it had been for a minute or even just a second... She must have! She had to! I refused to believe that my mom would not have loved me like that when I was born. No way!

And I SO wanted that love... I wanted that love so badly, that I held on to that moment since then. Even if it had been for just a moment... even if it had been for just a second, I would take it... and I DID!

That's all it takes to melt a human heart -- a glimpse into the depths of Unconditional Love and you'll never know life again the same way. That's how powerful UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is.

And so I pray and give thanks:

Thank you Divine Mother, for holding me with love, for lovingly guiding me into the sweetness of your heart, showing me the way back to Unconditional Love, where I fully love and embrace myself with your loving and sweet support.

It's nothing short of a miracle that I can feel this much Love inside myself and for that, Divine Mother, I am beyond grateful.

Today, more than ever, I celebrate Unconditional Love.

To all the MOTHERS, for you my wish is that you can always stay strong in the so often challenging quest of unconditionally loving your children.

To all the SONS and DAUGHTERS, for you my wish is that you may know in your heart how deep your mother's unconditional love for you is. And, if for some reason it so happens that it's not coming from your earthly mother, know that Divine Mother holds you ALL in her heart, filled with a miraculously healing Unconditional Love.

I know this because She has shown me.
I know this because She has told me so.
I know this because I feel it in my bones.

I know this because I am the living proof of Her Love.

From a very spacious and loving place,

I am holding YOU ALL with LOVE,

"Oh my beautiful child, you came… I'm so happy that you're here, my dear child. I've been here holding you through your anger and frustration. There's nothing but love and acceptance waiting for you here, my child. Welcome back, my dear child.

All of those stories, all that hurt, all that anger, all the judgments, all of that… that's not what you truly are, my dear.

In the midst of the storm may you find space and courage to come within, my dear. I'm so proud of you, my dear child. You are doing such a great job.

Go within, my dear. Go within! Breathe deep, my child. Breathe deep! Feel how much life loves you in every breath you take. Feel that love, my dear. Feel how much life supports you in every breath you take, my child.

Let the breath go deeper and deeper. Follow that breath, my dear. Follow that breath! Become that breath, my child. Become that breath.

May you experience unconditional love in every breath you take, my dear child. May you experience abundance in every breath, my dear. May you experience self-worth in every breath you take. May you know life's unconditional love in every breath. May you know life's acceptance of your being in every breath, my child.

Breathe, my child. Breathe! Let life love you, my sweet beloved child! Let that love in, my dear! Let that love in.”

Divine Mother on the Key Ingredients To (Self) Trust

Back in 2019, during a very demanding time in my life (AKA dark night of the soul) this was one of the many conversations with Divine Mother. This conversation was about (Self) TRUST (which is such a challenge for a people pleaser in recovery like me) and the KEY INGREDIENTS to develop and nourish it. That day I started out with a prayer and then, as usual, she did all the talking and I listened.

Mother, you ask me to trust and I am so scared. I know you can feel my fear and I feel how much you love me through it.
Mother, may I have the courage to fully trust and have faith in this love that invites me daily to surrender.
Mother, may I be granted the wisdom and courage to come from love and not the ego.
Mother, may my heart keep opening up to you, to the Divine love that heals our human hearts.
Mother, may I have the strength to let myself go and let myself fall into your divine grace.

"My beloved child, I love that your heart feels so deeply, my dear. Allow yourself to feel everything! Don’t run away! Don’t hide from it, my child! The deeper you feel, the more doors you open, my dear.

That’s it! Take your time! Breathe, my dear. Breathe!

In the depths you find me, my beloved child. In the depths! Do not fear to dive in, my dear. Fear not! The depths are not dark. There’s pure divine light in the depths, where stillness and silence dance together.

The deeper you go, the brighter it gets, my dear.

Dive those waters, my child. Fear not to dive those waters! They may not look pretty in the beginning. It’s where all the conditioning is, where all the beliefs you were made to believe are, where the things you believe yourself to be are. But if you are brave enough to continue diving, in the depths you’ll find me, my beloved child. Where the waters are pristine, clear, crystal like the purest of the diamonds.

Let yourself fall in that river, my child. Flow with it and be brave to dive deep. In the depths you’ll find me, my child.

You are a vessel of love, my dear. You are a beautiful vessel of love, my child.

Can you trust even when you don't know? Can you? Trust gives you the peace and the ease that you so long for, my child.

Trust life! Trust yourself! You are not separate, my dear. When you trust yourself you will trust life, because one is not without the other. When you trust life, you create an openness to faith – a faith beyond yourself, a faith that will guide you all the way to what you truly are, my dear.

FAITH will give you the power you need to keep diving into the Truth. Faith is the shield that protects you from the ego! Nourish that faith, my dear child. Only the brave ones will dare to hold that shield, my beloved daughter.

Faith is the shield and COURAGE is the sword! Hold them both wisely and strongly, my dear.

A sharp sword, Courage, opens the door, clears the path for you to walk through to the Ultimate Truth, the Ultimate Liberation. A strong and robust shield, Faith, protects you from the hurtful and deadly arrows the ego throws at you. These arrows are all the things you know so well – doubt, judgement, guilt, shame, unworthiness...

So, my child, take care of your shield and remember to sharpen your sword frequently.

You sharpen your sword every time you're willing to be truthful, to be authentic, to be vulnerable, to trust yourself enough to be willing to show up and face the fears you will meet along the way.

You sharpen your sword every time you're willing to open yourself up and let yourself be seen, be fully seen in your authenticity, in your most authentic unfiltered expression in the world.

You sharpen your sword every time you're willing to trust the voice in your heart and not the one in your head.

As for Faith, as for the shield, that requires a sharp sword, my child! Only those who are willing to go beyond themselves will be graced with that shield, my child. Gratitude… prayer… meditation… these are some of the things that make that shield strong enough to continue the inward journey.

Blessed you be, my child, for being brave enough to be holding this shield. Blessed you be!

Once you let yourself fall into the depths of your being, holding that shield and that sword, the more you take care of your shield, the more you dare with your sword and the deeper you go.

The more you dare to open your heart, the more you'll find yourself protected not by a shield but by a blanket of love. And that, my child, is the ultimate faith – trust that a blanket (LOVE) will keep you as safe as a shield.

Be watchful to not let yourself fall into the trap of making yourself insignificant when taking care of your Faith.

First, you need to go beyond yourself and cultivate that faith in order to be able to pass through the traps of the ego. But please, do not let yourself lose your Self in this process, because the power is ultimately within you, my dear.

Remember, you and I, we are not separate, my child!
