Transforming Grief into Love
Glenn
Bob and I had been friends for over 30 years. We first met when
I went to work at a lumber and building supply in Bellevue, Wa.
His name wasn't really Glenn Bob. It was just Glenn. But the manager
of our Contractor Sales Department added Bob to his name because
he was a gool ol' country boy from Iowa. Or Ohio. I could never
remember which.
Anyway,
all the guys who worked in that department ended up with Bob tacked
onto their names. They proudly touted that they were all part of
the "Bob" family. I was the first woman to work there
and, of course, I got named Kathy Bob.
Glenn
Bob and I kept in touch for years after I'd moved on from that job.
We'd call each other and chat about the good ol' days, our lives
now, and whatever else came up. When he called he never said "Hi"
or "Hello", but always said in his country drawl, "Kathy
Bob? That you?"
One
day I noticed I'd missed a call and it was Glenn Bob's phone number.
I settled in for a nice delightful chat and called him. His wife
answered and told me that she had been the one to call me. Glenn
Bob had died suddenly a week before and she was going through his
phone, calling people in his contacts list and letting them know.
For
a few minutes I could hardly breathe. I went into shock and could
barely talk to her. Part of me was thinking about how awful she
must be feeling while another part of me was just stunned beyond
my ability to even talk.
It
was a couple of months before I could even think about his death
without crying. I didn't understand why I was being so affected
by his death in particular. Other friends of mine have passed on
and I wasn't affected so.
One
day I was talking with a wise friend about my reaction and deep
grief to Glenn Bob's death. I mused upon the fact that either we're
coming from love or from fear, and since this didn't feel like love,
it must be fear of some kind. But fear of what?
She
didn't disappoint and instantly gave me the wisdom I was looking
for. "Grief," she said, "is the fear of lack of love."
Makes
perfect sense. When someone we love dies, we fear that the love
we shared with them dies, too. But
here's the truth:
Once energy is created it exists for eternity.
Love, like all emotions, is energy.
This
means that when you lose someone or something you loved, the energy
of that love still exists. And you can tap into it any time
you want so you can enjoy it again. It's easy. All you have to do
is remember an instance or event with that person or thing that
created the feeling of love within you. And you'll feel it again
in an instant, whenever you want.
And
the best part is that you can never, ever lose a memory that creates
the energy of love for you.
So if
you feel yourself beginning to sink into the sadness of grief, remember
that it's a signal to you that you're afraid you've lost love. Know
that you can never lose love because it's eternal. And then recall
a moment or an experience that brought you the feeling of love. As
you do so, you'll feel that love energy once again.
Love,
Kathy
ps.
Every time I hear Glenn Bob's voice in my head saying "Kathy
Bob? That you?" I giggle now instead of feeling sad. It reminds
me of the good times, the happiness, and the love we shared with
our friendship throughout all those years.
An
Inner Journey:
Living Your Life Purpose
You
were born into this world with a purpose. You have important work
to do - work that only you can do - in order to be of the greatest
good and highest service.
This
work is your life purpose.
If
you're not living your life purpose you know what it feels like.
You go through your days feeling bored, stifled, stagnated, anxious,
stuck, resentful, or just plain gritchy. Maybe you're experiencing
a combination of several of these. You wish your life was different
but don't have a clue how to change it... or even what you'd change
it into.
One
thing is certain: you know your life is not as satisfying as it
could be. You know with all your heart that there's something very
important missing from it. You feel like there has to be more to
life. And you're right.
What's
missing is your life purpose - the soul-satisfying work of your
destiny. An Inner Journey leads you to that destiny. It opens you
to new awarenesses as you uncover the clues that guide you back
to your life purpose.
Using
the exercises in this book, you'll become absolutely clear about
your life values - what they are, how they work, what they do, and
how you can use them to guide you in living your life purpose.
In
addition, this book covers other important segments of your journey
back to living your life purpose, such as:
- Using
the power of your personal boundaries
- Defining
success your way
- The
art of motivation and manifesting
- Creating
your personal and spiritual support systems
- Plugging
your energy leaks
- And
lots more.

42. Intrigue
The
intrigue of life. It is of this mystery we speak. And a mystery
it is, for it is never an explainable thing. Not in its entirety.
Parts and pieces are often explainable, but not the whole of life.
It
is this intrigue that keeps humanity alive and moving onward and
upward. If you knew all there is to know, what would be the purpose
for living? Boredom would soon set in and then there would be no
intrigue to keep your curiosity piqued. Soon after boredom comes
lack of will to live, for what is there to look forward to if you
have already experienced it all and have learnt all there is to
learn?
It is intrigue that opens new doors, new pathways of thought. Once
you have found a thing with which to become intrigued, life sparks
and soon flickers into full fledged flames that cause you to have
hot desire, wild passion for a new experience. Life force energy
is at its greatest when this occurs.
It
is this which has spurred the evolution of humanity. Without intrigue
to pull humans into new experiences, new ways of thinking, there
would be no progress, no evolution. Without the element of intrigue,
humanity would still be at the stage of its most base evolved condition.
It
is easy to recognize intrigue. Some call it curiosity, but it is
more. It is curiosity combined with passion. The initial introduction
to a thing which may cause intrigue is a sense of curiosity. As
you explore this experience of curiosity one of two things will
occur. Either the thing will lose its attraction or it will ignite
intrigue. Should the latter occur, passion sets in and suddenly
the focus is shifted from all else to that which intrigues.
At
the first spark of curiosity intrigue begins. This is the alert,
the warning for you to pay attention to something. If you easily
dismiss this opportunity, you may be casually throwing away the
intrigue of creating something that can greatly improve the condition
of humanity.
Celebrate
and cherish that first spark of curiosity, for it bodes the potential
to grow into intrigue. And when you feel intrigue, you are stepping
into the realm of the highest potential for the creative process.
It all starts with the pre-intrigue spark of curiosity. .
