A Messenger of Love

After a divine and holy week of floating on the big, beautiful, never-ending sea, I closed my eyes and got a message to make the last day of my life-changing journey home the most important 24 hours of my year. At first, I argued internally with myself, "Why do I have such thoughts? I've opened up enough. There's no way to top eight days in Turkey with my friends and the last seven days with members of my beloved community!" But still, as I walked through the Barcelona airport, I allowed myself to dwell on the seeming enormity of the task that my soul was asking me to take on. I began thinking about my forthcoming book The 21 Day Consciounsess Cleanse and realized, of course, that I could make this day of travel deep, meaningful and soul-inspired -- what better to do with my time? 

So I closed my eyes again and asked what the 18th day of the Consciousness Cleanse would request of me. The answer was simple. Be a messenger of love. As I walk through the airport and pass hundreds of people, be the love they are yearning for. Allow the love in my heart to shine through every cell of my being and transfer a bit of love to everyone who I could connect with. Even though I desperately wanted to stay inside the cocoon of my own inner world, today I would let go of who I usually am while I'm traveling and instead be a loving expression of divine love. 

I began by smiling and blessing the TSA representatives at the security checkpoint (none of them smiled back). I sent love to the flight attendants and looked into the eyes of the people who passed by my seat with warmth and love. Instead of listening to any judgments from my smaller self, I stepped into the heart of divine love. 

Although my warmth and smiling eyes might have touched someone else's heart that day, what it did for me is more than I could share right now. On that 23-hour day of travel, I experienced a day of deep healing, enormous gratitude, and a new level of peace.

Make today the most loving day of your year. It doesn't matter that it's not a special day. Even if you're with people that you don't know or don't like, you are a messenger of divine love. Let it rock your world.
