On New Year’s Eve I attended a White Stone Ceremony at Unity Spiritual Center (USC). During this ceremony we were invited to go inward and connect with the Source of our being to listen for a word, phrase or name that represents our highest intention for the year. We then wrote what we heard upon a white stone as a reminder of our intention. I've done this ceremony for several years and am consistently surprised by the word or phase that emerges
This year, when I heard the word COMMITMENT, I started squirming. “Not THAT!” I said to myself. I tried to push it away. I tried to listen more deeply, assuming this was a trick of the mind because it came so quickly. I tried to find a synonym that didn’t make me squirm. No matter what I tried, I continued to hear the word “COMMITMENT”. Finally, I surrendered and wrote it on my stone in capital letters.
