The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I am currently going through the process of divorcing my AH and moving out of our (awesome, amazing) apartment. I keep wavering and having a very hard time with detachment and resentment of having to uproot my life.
I use Melody Beattie's "Journey to the Heart" in addition to my daily Al-Anon literature. Today I opened up to (what I thought) was the November 8th passage. It said...
"Leave when it's time to go.
It's time to pick up, pack up, and leave.
You knew you wouldn't be in this situation in this place with these people forever. Trust the rhythms and cycles of life. Take responsibility for yourself within each cycle. Take responsibility for yourself as each cycle ends and a new one begins. You don't have to hold onto messengers after they've delivered the message in your life, or escorts after they've taken you where you were trying to go. You don't have to stay in a classroom after you've learned the lessons and finished that course.
Open your heart. Thank the people, places, and things that have helped create your world, shape you, form your experiences. Then pick up, pack up, and leave. Say good-bye with love and gratitude in your heart. And go on down the road."
After I finished, I realized I had read the October 8th reading instead.
I have had a hard time with finding an HP...but if that is not a sign from the universe, I don't know what is.
I agree Betty This a definitely a great example of a spiritual experience I have had a similar such experience and am pleased that you have connected with your HP in such a powerful manner.
Wow - I believe that reading was perfectly matched for where you are...
I can say that I find each day the daily reading has an impact on something I am thinking, feeling, doing or planning to do.
That's so cool that you were on the wrong page but the message is/felt so personal. I too believe that there's a HP message for you!
Glad you are here and glad you are working your program...
