It is both the most difficult, and most blessed and peace-creating act that exists. There is never a good time for a tragedy, and the time is always right for a surprise gift. But there is still a moment when it is more perfect than others, and there are hints, but retrospect is usually the only way we understand these clues. So all we can do is breathe, live, and be our best. Melody Oh, if we could come to trust the timing of even that which we despise, and that which crushes and hurts us.

Your miracle is inside you, and surrendering to where you are is such a sheer act of faith that we begin to move toward where we want to be. I was so peaceful by the time my miracles came that I really didn't notice -- because I didn't need anything external to be peaceful or happy anyore. There is nothing more sure to bring peace than surrendering to each moment and how we feel, and who we are. Just like there is nothing more guaranteed to bring frustration than looking outside ourselves for our joy.

And the length of time you've been repressing your emotions will have a lot to do with how long it takes to find peace and connect with your power. Try not to focus on where you want to be -- and instead focus on the gratitude practice and where you are right now. If we've been pushing our feelings away for years -- we're not going to soar free overnight. But digging out all that "junk' inside, accepting yourself as completely okay for having those feelings, and being willing to feel uncomfortable and even express gratitude for that (getting away from this is good, this is bad, etc.) is the path to where we want and need to go. I promise. Melody Janette, I KNOW getting out all those emotions will get you where you want to be.

My writing has made my cry almost daily and I think that is probably good... so much pain in my life at the moment, but I think it was under the surface and now coming out, even as I write this. I want to change and I don't want to repeat same mistakes over and over, I hoping getting out the blocked emotions will ultimately help. thank you Medody I listened to Making Miracles twice, and have been writing for about 2 1/2 months, My miracle hasn’t happened…yet, but I do sense a change, just a little in me.
