\"Photo_012008_003\"<\/a> My dad has Alzheimer’s and he wants to come live with me. He lived with me for a few months two years ago, he hated it because I wouldn’t let him drive so one day ‘he ran away from home.’ Now he wants to come back and his disease has progressed a lot.<\/p>\n

There are all sorts of legal and financial issues involved. I am about to leave for Lithuania for a month and was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Before I went to sleep the other night I prayed, asking all the celestial beings in my book for clarity, direction and help in resolving this situation. To the best of my ability I keep releasing the outcome and simply focus on doing the next indicated step.<\/p>\n

I am not sure how it will look but I have no doubt there will be magic and miracles involved. When I was new to all this spiritual stuff some gave me a framed copy of this poem:<\/p>\n

LET GO AND LET GOD
<\/b>
As children bring their broken toys with tears for you to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God, because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried, “How can you be so slow?”
“My child,” He said, “what could I do? You never did let go.”<\/i><\/p>\n

So I am practicing letting go and I will see what happens. I am sure the results will be a lot better than if I tried to micro-manage the whole thing!<\/p>\n

So if you have a difficulty in your life, let go and allow in all the love and help the universe has to offer.<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
Susan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
