Under the Tuscan Sun

When Frances’ life, as she knows it, comes to an abrupt end, she swiftly begins to leave the past behind. Knowing only that she cannot go back, Frances follows the steps that are laid out before her. Bravely, she takes each one, facing the fear of the unknown, loneliness, and the belief in abandonment. Mother Mary is with her every step of the way, and with each step, her heart opens a little wider, and she is able to receive the gifts that are right in front of her.

 

The past is truly the past. It is over and it is done. It is time to awaken, time to take the leap and not look back. When the decision to take a step is made the whole universe conspires to support the decision. The signs are so clear when we are looking for them! All we need do is to follow our heart and the symbols of freedom and love And we are led, from one heart opening experience to another—all the way home into the Heart of God.

 

Love is not about the form. Love is in our heart and we free it to be fully in awareness when we say yes and allow the form to come and to go. Prayers are always answered. God knows the prayer of our heart before we ask. The form that the answer comes in isn’t always recognized, and so mighty companions sometimes come along to give us a nudge or a straight talk, when needed. Thank God for those who don’t hold back!

 

There truly is no loss. Whenever anything is perceived as lacking, the simple solution is to be willing to provide what is lacking. Getting into function as a miracle worker is the way to experience the immediacy of salvation.
