MommaCat Monday Missive #2: On Keeping Your Idea Safe
Greetings!
Well, here it is Monday again (or will be by the time you are reading this! ), and it’s time again for another MommaCat Monday Missive from Lady Coco, Guide & MommaCat Extraordinaire.
Another brief explanation of what I-as-Birdy do when I channel. I am what is known as a ‘conscious channel’, which means that I ‘stay in the background’ when I channel and am aware of what is said.
This also means that I participate in the conversation from time to time. To keep things from getting completely confusing, I let my Guide, in this case Lady Coco, attribute what I’m saying in the background.
So when you read ‘Birdy says’ in the post below, you know that I really am speaking in the background, as it were. :>
Now onto today’s Q! :>
Today’s Q is about how to keep your Idea safe in the face of those who think they know you because they ‘knew you when’.
And over to you, Lady Coco!
Hello, again, dear ones!
This is a Good Question for which I will strive to give you a Good Answer.
The biggest thing is to not let such persons matter, but of course that is far easier said than done.
Especially when they must remain in your Sphere of Influence for whatever social reason you choose to let them stay there, Outside Forces can be very difficult to repel.
One thing is to treat your Idea as a very tiny, newborn kitten. You don’t subject a kitten to a lot of noise & chaos right off. The MommaCat will have none of that and will whisk her litter away to a place of peace pronto.
Your Idea is best nurtured in the same way.
Keep it safe in the womb of your heart at first until it has had a chance to grow up & become sturdy enough to face the Outside World.
When you do let it out of the nest, make sure that your Idea is surrounded by those who know how to treasure it.
Your fellow Kittens, for example, can be a great resource for that. (A MommaCat reminder to always let your fellow Kittens know what you are looking for when you announce your Idea to them. Cheerleading? Critique? Supportive Listening?)
Birdy asked a great Q in the background: what if the people you thought were safe turned out not to be?
Have compassion for them.
And for yourself.
Remember that yes, working with new Ideas can bring up a lot of Stuff for people: old hurts, regrets over personal Changes/Chances not Taken, things like that.
So, the first thing to remember is that it is most likely not you, but their memories/experiences that are causing them to react in this way.
The second thing is to remember that you are in no way obligated nor obliged to live in the Universe or mold that other people have of you.
It can be difficult to overcome the energy of others, which is why the saying of being careful how you choose your company came into being.
But it is by no means impossible.
This is where journalling, dream boards, that sort of thing can be helpful.
Birdy recommends 750words.com as a great place to store such things.
Remind yourself of who you really are, why your Idea will Change the World for the better.
That way you have a record for when it seems the World is not in support of you & your Idea.
And, yes, record also those people who are supportive of you & your Idea and the kind things they say/do/etc.
Human memory is short, but the impact of Kind Things lasts a long time indeed.
Also, remember to Ask.
Ask the Ether & the beings such as myself who live here for help. We are eager to offer our help & support, but the cardinal Rule we live & work under is that we must support you in your own experience by waiting to be Asked before offering our help.
Yes, Birdy is correct. You can check out a wondrous post by Birdy’s fellow Abundance Explorer Susan T. Blake about how Asks don’t have to be formal or super-specific. (And we’ll go into why they are even better done loose & semi-specific in another ‘show’. )
Ask your fellow humans for support.
Ask your pets for love.
Just Ask.
Want More of This?
Birdy suggests a Call to Action in here that if you’d like access to more of the kind of support we have been talking about in this article, then click here to be taken to the page for joining the Bold Kitten Community.
Works for me!
