Celebrating my Send Off into the Divine Mystery

My dear friends honored me with a Send Off Celebration last night to support me in my imminent departure into the Divine Mystery of my open-ended road trip to the Deep South! It was a joy filled evening of being wrapped in the love and encouragement of the amazing souls who surround me in my life. I will miss them dearly… <3

We had a contest to vote for a mascot to bring with me on the journey, and I am pleased to announce that from four contenders, Buller (a Danish childhood toy pictured above) was the winner! He will be joining me as my mighty traveling companion and the symbol of all those I love who will be with me in spirit... and following my progress throughout this adventure of Trust, Love and opening to the guidance of the Universe.

Preparations (both physically and emotionally) are intensifying as I approach my last week before departure. Packing is going well, but many emotional triggers are bombarding me and bringing up fears within… of the unknown...

• Will I have the stamina for this trip?
• Will I be scared?
• Will I be lonely?
• Where will I sleep?
• Will the Universe really have my back?
• Will I live my potential?
• Will I hear my guidance?

I am stretching my boundaries well beyond my comfort zone, but these questions can only be answered as I move from my thoughts into action… I am looking forward to finally reaching the "experience" of it!!

How are you challenging yourself to step out of your comfort zone?

Vision Quest and Road Trip into the Mysterious Unknown!

I have been giving away my "Message from the Universe" envelopes for almost 9 months now! It has been a period of excitement, inspiration and expanding embodiment of my "purpose" in the world. I finally feel like I know what I want to do when I grow up, lol!!

So my next step will be an excursion/journey/road trip/adventure/vision quest towards warmer and unfamiliar parts of the country as we move into the winter months. I am ready to take my message of hope and inspiration out into the bigger world on a grander scale!

I am leaving Denver on November 3rd, 2014, and will be gone for at least 2 months… heading into the Deep South and perhaps all the way to the end of Florida! I will not have a set agenda, but will follow my intuition and guidance every day and every moment as I navigate this divine mystery! My Honda Civic will be my transportation and I plan on exploring a combination of lodging experiences including camping, couch surfing, hostels, Airbnb, hotels/motels, and….?? :)

As I move into my expansion, I wish you all greater and grander versions of your magnificent unlimited potential! We're all in this together!!

Check in for updates as I navigate this adventure and quest for an expanded vision! 

Blessings, Love and Big Hugs!!! <3

Unveiling the 2nd Message from the Universe!!!

I have managed to circulate nearly 500 "Messages from the Universe" cards!! I know this because I am down to my last dozen or so cards from my first order of 500. :) 

It was time to create a new message from the Universe! Wow… what did the Universe want to share through me this time?? What you see above is the result of quieting my mind, opening my heart, and sharing the inspiration that flowed. 

I'm excited to restock my supply of envelopes with cards and cash, go out into the world, and continue to be a conduit for extending Love to as many people as I can! 

I LOVE doing this work! It has become part of my heart and soul, and what I "do" in the world… my job!! :))) I can't imagine doing anything more fulfilling and satisfying in any capacity! Spreading Love, hope and inspiration has been far more wonderful than I could ever have anticipated! 

I am so grateful for the support and encouragement I have received from so many, including 3 generous souls who have donated money to help keep this project going… thank you!!! My desire and intention is to have it continue to expand, grow, and touch more and more people! 

<3 <3 <3 

YAY!!!! Happy Dance! :D

Transitioning into Newness

Spring has arrived… and with it an opportunity to open more fully into our true Unlimited Magnificence! What does that look like? This is the question I am asking myself… not in form, but in feeling and intention. Feelings are everything! After all, isn't every "thing" we want coming from the idea about how we think we will feel when we get it? So why don't we just go for the feeling?! Who cares what the form looks like if I'm happy and peaceful? And if I decide what my happiness is supposed to look like, might I be limiting myself to smallness? ...when I could be opening myself to infinite possibilities beyond my wildest imagination? 

So, my intention, as I move into spring, is to cultivate my connection to Divine Source as my guide… and flow in the direction of peace and inspiration in each and every moment… to an experience of new and unknown potential. 

I am just beginning to unfurl my wings!

This is a message for you from the Universe...

Sooo… I have been distributing my messages from the Universe for over 2 months now! (Click here to see how this project was birthed.) The image above is the actual card I designed that is included in each envelope with various amounts of cash. 

I have given out approximately 150 envelopes… to homeless people with signs, random people walking down the street, in coffee shops, at events, as tips… as well as left on bus benches, car windshields, gas pump handles (my favorite!) and anywhere else I feel moved. 

The experience has been profound and continues to push me up against my edges as I explore my heart connection to complete strangers. Often, I wish I had related more deeply in the moment with an individual, but my interactions are continuously evolving, and each one brings an opening that helps me appreciate my oneness with everyone more and more!

With homeless people, it has been especially powerful. Before this project, I rarely, if ever, gave money to people who asked for it… feeling uncomfortable and awkward, and always averting my eyes. Now, when the opportunity presents itself, I truly see the person, witness them, and acknowledge their presence with love. 

Even though they have no idea what I am giving them (since it is hidden in an envelope) I have experienced such joy, appreciation and outpouring of gratitude that it makes my heart sing. I believe that just to be truly seen and valued with eye contact, a smile, conversation and loving intent is the genuine gift of our interactions… I know it has been for me!

Messages from the Universe

There is a lesson in A Course In Miracles that states: "I am sustained by the love of God." Am I really? Does God, Source, Spirit, the Universe really have my back? I have been studying and applying the principles of the Course pretty seriously for the past year and have seen miraculous transformations in my life. But can I truly rest in the trust of knowing that I will be taken care of no matter what?

So one morning when I was contemplating the fantasy of winning the lottery (based on a friend's facebook post) the the idea of giving away money blossomed into the creative project of "Messages from the Universe". My big vision is to have a million dollars to give away in hundred dollar bills! But since that wasn't something I could do now, I asked myself how I could start where I am with what I have… giving away smaller denominations that I would share with strangers, along with a loving "message from the Universe". :)

My purpose in this endeavor is to spread love, hope and inspiration to my fellow human beings… and let them know that they are seen, valued and supported… by me? by God? by Spirit? by the infinite mystery? …to let them know they are not alone in the world trying to make it on their own! If I am going to live my life based on the assumption that I am sustained by the love of god, I want to put it to the test!

So I went out and bought a box of bright yellow dollar bill sized envelopes, and spent a day designing a business sized card with my message. I decided what amount of money I felt peaceful contributing to this project… and then began filling envelopes with $1, $3, $5, or $10. I drew a design on the outside of each envelope representing the different amounts…. and then I started giving away money! What will come of it is a mystery, but I am excited, inspired and hopeful that I can make a difference in someone's day.

I will be sharing more of my process and experiences in future blog posts, but for now I have started to play the lottery!! :)))

Inspired Ideas

Sometimes a random thought enters my mind that starts to snowball as my enthusiasm and excitement builds… I've had many such thoughts in my lifetime that I like to call inspired ideas. 

Where do they come from? What purpose do they serve? I'm never 100% sure, but often my enthusiasm results in hours, days and weeks of taking action and pursuing my vision… yet aside from my spiritual growth work, all of my inspired ideas have fizzled and faded over time. 

I'm sure each one has been perfect for my evolution for as long as it lasted, but I always wonder if the next one will be "successfully" achieved… whatever that means! 

Some things I realize I need to ask myself each time:

• Who am I now?
• How is this new or different?
• What is my purpose in this endeavor?
• Why is it important?

One big shift for me has been surrender. If I have an inspired idea, I'm not the one in charge of its success. My willingness to take action is important, but I am focusing more on allowing the Divine to be my guide, and for inspiration to flow through me and not from me! I may not know how it will all happen, but I can be more present to my guidance every step of the way. And who knows… the result this time could be far beyond my wildest imagination!

Here's to dreaming BIG!! :)))

Embracing Something NEW

Newness Quest

by SuZen

Leaving the old... that which no longer serves.

Embracing Newness... what will I discover in my quest?

Open heart, trust, freedom, innocence, love

 Clarity, transparency, vulnerability, communication

*~~{{{PEACE}}}~~*

Ahhhhhh... deep sigh...

Emerging from the depths of confusion and moving into the crystalline awareness of a NEW paradigm

...where no path yet exists.

Forging the way... with bravery, determination and 

wild abandon.

The Quest for TRUTH is not for the timid!

With Newness comes sights never before seen, 

and experiences never before felt.

I TRUST in my fortitude - the serene peaceful knowing of sure success...

Bring It On!

~~{{hugging in a NEW way}}~~
