MAKE ROOM FOR MIRACLES

     Relax. Lighten up. Clear some space in your life so magic can happen. It will. Creative life-energy is so strong it can't wait to blossom everywhere, like wildflowers and weeds.
     Let go. Being in control often simply means repeating your habits, doing what you always do, doing what you learned to do when you were a small child. When you don't do what you always do you leave room for the other 99% of life's possibilities to occur. Instead of drawing on your stock repertoire of behaviors, you tap the entire realm of opportunity. 
     How can Santa fill your stocking if you don't put up a stocking? How can your stocking get filled if you don't believe in Santa? How can he come if you keep watching the chimney all the time? Are you afraid he will leave you something you don't like with no receipt so you can't exchange it?
     That you exist at all is a miracle. Let's face it. Could you have built yourself from scratch? Surely you would have left out something, or connected some of the wires wrong. What if every time you wanted to stand up you found yourself sitting down?
     A miracle usually includes a sense of unexpectedness. I didn't expect it, it's much better than I expected. It's better than I deserve. When you don't think you deserve good things, then to get something good seems like a miracle. 
     You make room for miracles when you stop trying to figure it all out. When you admit that you don't know what's going to happen, when you let go of the need for things to turn out the way they've always turned out, that is when you you start to notice all the other amazing things going on, some of which were there all along.
