"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there" (L.P. Hartley)
 
This message is brought to you by the past. Be it 5 seconds ago, 5 years or 5 lifetimes ago.
 
It's done, finito, over. 
 
If you yelled at your kids, slipped back into a moment of negative self-talk, or any other perceived wrong doing you can't go back and fix it.  But you can apologize to them and to yourself and ask forgiveness (from them and you). The reason you now feel so rotten about the situation is because those words or actions don't resonate as being filled with love. 
 
Do you recognize how huge that realization is? Take a moment... it's MONUMENTAL!! It didn't happen because the kids were running late for school. You now know that you chose to give into the useless emotion of impatience. 
 
Ta-daa!!  You can now do this with any "icky" situation that comes up. Your past really is now foreign and things are done differently there. We are all in a transition of having to straddle the line; one foot firmly and eagerly planted in our new energies, yet the other foot is still needed for grounding and balance and it sometimes slips back. 
 
There is a beautiful lesson to be learned while we are in this precarious position: You are now aware of tiny little details of dis-harmony with your new higher dimensional  vibrations. Not very long ago we were concentrating on big details of harmony. Now we are down to fine tuning ourselves so that we can truly live each moment in the purest love possible and with very little effort. 
 
Being in harmony with the vibration of love is becoming natural once again!  This is only happening because you made the conscious and often physical / emotional effort to check in with your heart frequently throughout your day.
 
Do you see now how all that hard work is beginning to pay off? You are down to the nitty gritty details! So quickly love and forgive the situation, know that you are now less likely to repeat that scenario (because you ARE paying attention and learning), and leave it in the past knowing that things are done differently there.
 
You have all my love and support, just as I feel the same from you. I'm so very proud of us!!
