It’s Beethoven’s Birthday. Today let’s focus on sharing our gifts and talents and skills with others.
Beethoven did that, and centuries later, we’re all still enjoying his gifts.
Beethoven’s story reads like a bad soap opera. No need to go in to all the negativity here. The point is, Beethoven had a difficult childhood and lots of disappointments and challenges in adulthood.
And yet, he shared his gifts with the world anyway. As Fabienne Fredrickson would say, he “shared his brownies.”
Every person has a unique energy pattern. 
I see people almost like kaleidoscopes sometimes, each one refracting Light in their own way. When we come out of the shadows, release old BS, and allow Divine Light to flow through us, when we let our true colours shine, we touch others, and add to Life. When we allow ourselves to become an instrument, we make beautiful music.
Beethoven, according to history, had many faults. My guess is that each person reading this would be a more pleasant dinner companion than Beethoven. But who can deny the beauty of his music?
You may have come from an unpleasant background. You may have sad stories to tell. You may think that you have disabilities or limitations. You may feel that you have flaws that need to be fixed. And you may be right about that. But the gift of Beethoven’s example is that whatever your “stuff” is or was, it need not stop you from sharing your unique gifts and talents with the world.
Please share your unique way of refracting Light NOW, while you’re here.
Newsflash: You are not perfect. That’s not an excuse to stay stuck. Just polish yourself up as best you can, and let the Light of Love shine through you.
The world needs your energy now, and we just can’t wait until you’ve attained absolute perfection.
The thing to understand about sharing your gifts, is that the gifts planted inside you were meant for us all, at this specific time on this specific planet, and YOU were entrusted as the perfect person to bring them forward.
Perhaps you think you have no gifts to share. Really? Does the world have too many smiles? Are all the children and animals feeling over-loved? Is the Earth a thriving garden of Eden? Are we all feeling bombarded with kindness?
You don’t need to write the Moonlight Sonata. It’s been done. But you can write a thank you note, or a note of encouragement to that one person who just popped into your awareness right now. Beethoven can’t do that. But YOU can!
Beethoven heard music inside himself and then brought it forth so that others could enjoy it, too.
What treasure is inside of you? What can you share with the world today?
I want to thank you for sharing your sparkles with us each day.
