Susan Boyle



She keeps coming up in conversations and in my mind. WOW! I think there are a few things for us to learn or at least pay attention to here. First, of course, are the sneers the making fun of the packaging before we hear the angel’s voice from within. How shocked we all are, that’s not what it’s supposed to look like.

Unfortunately, even within our immediate discussions of how touching and oh, shame on me for the judgment we are wondering if she will have her “make over” soon. HELLO! It’s pretty well ingrained isn’t it? I remember watching The View and that’s exactly what happened. Oh my gosh, my judgment, next sentence from one of them was “Well, I hope she at least gets her eyebrows done”.

I think what is hitting us so deeply is our soul’s reaction to the acknowledgement of us. We are great the way we are. We don’t need fixing. Not even just our “eyebrows”! I think our souls are starting to realize maybe some doors are opening just a little. The doors of non-judgment. Acceptance for the individual we are. She is a perfect piece of God, just as we all are. Her packaging is as it should be.

The next door to open will be when we aren’t surprised! When there are no stares from the audience, no sneers, so little expectation. We will sit in anticipation for what the next contestant, no matter the package is bringing for our enjoyment.

These small steps makes me very excited. It will take some time but I feel it more every day, we are learning what is beauty and what should be revered and praised.
