As I held my Granddaughter in my arms our eyes met. She is one month old. Our eyes locked for what seemed the longest time and something happened…a stirring deep within that I know she experienced too…perhaps a recognition between two Souls. I observe the profound impact her birth and presence has made in so many lives. Just by Being our precious little Emma has opened so many arms and hearts, filling our lives with a new love, new hope, new life.

I acknowledge as I look deeply into her eyes…she is my new Teacher. I know I will learn so much from her innocence, her Beginners Mind, her ability to fully experience the moment where there is no tomorrow, no yesterday, only now.

Tears filled my eyes in that moment and I realize that Emma is a gift just by Being…and aren't we all? Isn't every human being meant to be a gift to the world just by Being? The same Divine Light is within us throughout time. When we acknowledge that we are Spirit, Soul and eternal we claim a responsibility to Be all that we are meant to be. God has lovingly placed within us all that we need to Be a full expression of who we are. Every Gift within is a blessing of God and meant to be shared and expressed. Can you believe you are a Gift?

Emma teaches me this Truth…each of us are a gift just by being. May you nurture your Spirit. May you remember who you are. May you be a full expression of who you are. May you live in alignment with the Divine Light within you…and may you always remember that YOU are the Gift. There is no one like you, you are unique and an essential part of the Whole…and may you remember that Just by Being…you make a difference in the world.

With love & blessings,

Kathleen
