Law of Attraction – The Creative Power of TRANSITION
By Sonia Miller | May 25, 2009
You know, I’ve learned something about myself and blogging. I really don’t like to write about myself unless I can somehow turn a personal anecdote into an offering – something that provides food for thought, encouragement, or inspiration.
And so, during these eleven days – the personal leave I’ve taken since my mother’s passing – even though I’ve wanted to connect with you (I didn’t want to just disappear), I didn’t know what to write about. I felt like I had nothing to give. The truth is that I needed and wanted life to be about MY needs. I just wanted to BE.
~ I didn’t want to be “on”.
~ I didn’t want to think or make any decisions that weren’t absolutely necessary.
~ I didn’t want to “have to” anything.
~ I didn’t want a schedule, or an alarm clock.
~ I didn’t want to “surrender” to other people’s needs, or to fulfill commitments.
After four years of caring for my mother, worrying about her, worrying about taking care of her while still wanting and having my own life – wanting to be present and available for my husband, our kids, my friends and my clients (and often feeling like I wasn’t doing any of those things well). Holding a BIG GIANT SPACE for many different feelings: love, care, concern, gratitude, grief, anger, burden, obligation, resentment, and exhaustion… after four years of that, I just wanted to have life on MY TERMS, even if only for a week.
And so I have. (As much as is realistically possible.)
Chris my husband has deftly done the River Dance of emotional spousal support, hopping between giving me my space and doing things for me. The kids have been incredibly understanding amidst mommy’s explanations of “what’s going on” and thank you’s for their extra patience. My clients have been incredibly loving, patient, understanding and supportive. And my friends have done their own River Dance of support. (Bless you, all!)
All this has given me a symbolic transitional time of sorts. I mean I know I’ll be in transition for longer than eleven days, but this time-off felt almost ceremonial.
~ A crossing of the bridge from a life of caring for mom with cancer, to a life complete with that journey.
~ A time of giving to myself so that I can give to others again, the way I want to and love to.
~ A time to, as Abraham-Hicks teaches, “pick up my oars” and let my boat simply turn around on its own. To stop paddling so hard upstream and remember that everything I want is downstream.
And what has all this “me time” given me? A connection once again to all of you!
This time of transition has reinforced for me, once again, an idea I believe in strongly.
That TRANSITION doesn’t just happen, it is something that needs to be acknowledged. It is something that needs to be honored. Yes, life is full of endings and beginnings. But between them are transitions. And transitional times, when properly acknowledged, can be some of the most powerful times of life. When we allow ourselves to simply “BE,” we create a space. We become more able to live in the NOW. We endeavor to release the past. We give ourselves permission to refrain from grasping at the future. We flow through the air between the trapeze bars… in FAITH.
Yes, it can be uncomfortable and downright scary. But that usually happens because we don’t understand that transition is normal. Transition is healthy. Transition is necessary. When we learn how to BE in transition – allowing ourselves to be in the void, in the unknown – we let go of control. And when we release control, we become receptive to the Divine. We become the powerful manifestors that we can be because we ALLOW the infinite well-being that already is, into our lives.
Choose YOUR Reality! tm

Transition is definitely one of the most difficult things to handle. From work, to family, school and friends. Nevertheless, I believe in believing in yourself. If you think you can do it, you definitely can.
