Dear Beth Ann, I happily
Dear Beth Ann, I happily endorse your words. "Black and white", oh yes, I know that state and how good it feels when things take on colors again.
As before, let me add a few observations of my own. In a recent Heavenletter (#2779, "When You Are Perfectly Still"), I found a phrase that speaks to me more directly and more deeply than anything I have ever heard before. "Lean into stillness". I immediately knew what it is but I would be at a loss to explain it. The complete paragraph is:
Lean into that stillness, beloved, and you will accomplish more. The easier you are, the more easily everything in the Universe falls in your lap.
Obviously, your most prominent natural "leaning" is towards love and your sincerity in following it is beyond doubt. Yet in our sincerity, do we not sometimes tend to be a little too strict on ourselves - or am I the only one who is? What I mean to say is that, although we certainly are responsible for our "every thought, feeling and action" (a point that is made again in today's Heavenletter #2782, "Excuses, Excuses, Excuses"), let us not make it into a project, the project of having to do it just right every time or else we will deny ourselves the approval we really deserve for every step and apparent misstep. Feeling responsible and at the same time being easy, this seems to be the ideal combination.
I'm looking forward to more of your beautiful and perceptive comments.

I agree that God is ineffable. I think it is important that the people you work with have that sense too. I use the words 'conscious,' 'loving', 'intelligent' and 'energy' to describe the indescribable…I read Heaven Letters each morning, and I forward them to physicians and friends. Heaven Letters pays attention to the word of God we are all meant to listen to.
P.S. God says you are making Her too busy with all the calls. I reminded Her that every seventh day She does not have to answer the phone.
