I have just come from saying goodbye to my niece, a remarkable woman who has made the transition from this life to her next adventure. Her life was well and fully lived in service of others, though not without tremendous physical suffering.

I know that before we come into this world we, with Divine help, choose the circumstances of our lives in order to accomplish the purpose set out for us.

Kelley chose a most difficult physical path, and it is hard to imagine that it was perfect for her, and yet I know this to be true.

Kelley taught us all during her 37 years. At her Memorial service we listened to a letter of condolence from President Bill and Hillary Clinton (for whom she worked), heard a US Congresswoman and the San Diego City Council President speak about Kelley, and heard touching and funny stories from those she shared her life with. I was moved by the impact she had on so many.

Could she have lived the same life, made the same impact, out of a wheelchair and without the ravages caused by MD and MS? According to Yusef it was all purposeful.

YUSEF:

Your purpose ALWAYS fits perfectly with the personality chosen for the lifetime. All has been carefully thought through to maximize the potential to accomplish the purpose(s) chosen.

The body you chose to inhabit was chosen for a purpose. It is your vehicle for attainment. You need this body and all that it is to attain your purpose for coming into this world, this lifetime.

The challenges you face in this body are growth producing. It is an instrument, enabling you to learn and grow. Nothing is coincidence. The challenge is to recognize the gift of present circumstance, and remain connected to the Source of Love.

I invite you to “like” Guidance From Yusef a Facebook page I have started.  I am posting much of the same (identical this time) there.
