Now as I watch Mackenzie I am once again so thankful for gift that she is showing me. I realize that sadness I feel is not really about Mackenzie separating from me. It is separation I created within myself a very long time ago. I never allowed myself to FEEL emotions of it all.

I know that I have judged Mackenzie at times during this separation process. Now I realize that feelings I have been projecting onto her are ones from past. But because I am allowing myself to feel everything and am telling that pre-teen girl inside of me that she is accepted and loved for separation process she went through years ago, I no longer need to control Mackenzie.

I am so thankful for this gift and for many more I know will come. Mackenzie has reflected me as a little child. Now I guess it's time to see teenager. Oh, boy! This ought to be fun!!!

That gift soon revealed itself by showing us that Steve wasn't allowed to escape on boat. He had set an intention to find himself, so universe said, "Ugh, ugh. No escaping for you."

Then we lost our butts in stock market. A big part of our nest egg was there. That was scary. Steve had to start looking at his limiting beliefs as protector and provider of family. My work had yet to take off and so therefore we really didn't have an income. We prayed for guidance. People began to call offering us great investment opportunities. We were tentative to make deals for it meant we had to dip into our nest egg. We prayed for signs to show us what to do. We received messages we needed, sometimes within a day, and made investments. They soon revealed themselves as gifts from God. Steve and I quickly learned that when we turned our worries over to God, we were provided for.

Every time money got tight, we both prayed for God to guide us and every time we were given a gift. We both learned from this that when your heart has an intention to sit in truth and to be love, universe wants to help you in any way it can. If you need more abundance and financial assistance and believe that you are worthy of receiving this kind of love, then it will come to you, very easily without any effort. The only effort you have to do is to have courage to open up and get to know you. That's what Steve did. He finally got courage to open up to truth. As a result he discovered that he doesn't have to buy into those protector/provider pictures anymore. God is protector and provider.

This has been an intense time of healing and learning for both Steve and me. As I have watched him grow, I have had to learn to be neutral to his process and realize what his limiting beliefs are and what mine are. But because we have both looked for gift in every situation during this time, whether it seemed bad or good, we have grown closer with each other and with God.

Steve and I are so excited to see God working in our lives as individuals and as a couple. We see life unfolding before us. My work is taking off right at perfect time and right when I'm ready for it. And Steve has a new company. He is one of owners of ConsciousOne.com, along with an amazing group of individuals whose intention is to bring peace and love into world.

Steve decided to take a step into truth a year-and-a-half- ago and, as a result, I found more of my own. And even though it got scary at times due to not knowing where adventure was going, we stayed in our intentions to be love and light. What we found was a greater love than we've ever known.
