It was our last session together. Our Monday night gatherings around the well of Kerry Parson‘s brilliance at Primetime for Emerging Women was coming to a close.
For eight weeks we journeyed together exploring what it means to be a woman in this time right now. What it is that connects us, enlivens us, informs us as we emerge from behind the veil of our ‘adapted selves’ into the magnificent splendour of our essential natures shimmering in the light of possibility.
“We are each the complete expression of Love,” said Kerry.
Imagine what is possible if we always live in that expression, letting go of self-doubt, fear and insecurity… all those things that would have us act less than the birthright of our magnificence.
Imagine.
When we began the journey together 9 weeks ago (Thanksgiving Monday was a holiday), we began with a meditation on John Lennon’s iconic anthem, Imagine.
Last night, we began with centering on Amy Wood and Kerry Parson’s, We Are So Blessed and closed the circle with Canadian singer/songwriter Pam Gerrand’s soulful, Love Is All sung against the backdrop of Janet Sinclair’s beautiful angel photography.
Love Is All.
There is no other force, no other power, no other essence greater than Love.
No thing can kill Love. No thing can destroy it. No thing. Nothing.
No matter what we do, how we struggle, where we go or how far we stray from our divine essence, Love is all, always and forever. Love is always calling us home.
It is all there is to hold onto.
All there is to release.
All there is to carry.
Love Is All.
As we ended the evening, we each gathered in the circle, holding hands, standing around the creative well of our connection. We shared. One word. One thought. One promise.
Kerry had invited each of us to write out a promise we wanted to share with the world and ourselves. To give it voice so that we would not forget to Love ourselves, no matter what.
Giving voice out loud to the promises we make is an act of courage, of hope, of possibility. It is an act of Love.
Life grows out of everyday places. Love nurtures the seed.
Life stands in the broken spaces, willing itself to not fall down, to not let go of what it believes to be true. Love leans into the edges of the unknown breathing into the possibility of what can be when we let go of holding onto anything other than Love.
Love Is All.
For today, I promise to be open to every experience for every experience has the capacity to change me.
I promise to embrace the challenge and learn from it so that I may create possibility with every thought, express Love with every breath and be Love with every action.
I promise to live in reverence and awe of our magnificence living fearlessly in the complete expression of Love.
Love is all around.
Love Is All.
We are all magnificent. We are all we need to be to know and be that which is all, Love.
Namaste.
Louise you seem so full of love. The program did for you what it was meant to! Blessings!

Thank you for sharing your powerful promise and recognising how love might be the most important thing after all…
Promises are hard for me to make but for now I can say that the promise that keeps me alive is rooted in the love I have for people and at the moment that’s what I have to keep holding onto.
Take care x
