30 years ago today, my angel daughter chose me as her mother and chose Thanksgiving Day to come into my world. Her father and I had a name chosen for her, but while he was on his way to make the phone calls, the name, "Teresa" came to him and he rushed back to my room and asked me what I thought of the name.
I asked to see the book of names that we had brought along, and amazingly to me, her name meant, "Harvester". A tingle of recognition went throuigh me. My little angel had also chosen her name.....even the spelling.
At the time, we were in a French community, and the first name we had chosen but didn't use, was a French name. The French spelling of her name is "Theresa", but for some reason, we wrote, "Teresa" on the birth document.
When she was old enough, she often commented on how much she loved the symmetry of her name and how perfect the spelling was. All I know is that she has brought symmetry (harmonic arrangement) to my life. Her inner and outer beauty inspires me and her loving heart delights me.
This past year, Teresa has been a leading actress in my movie by being involved in the Human Game with me. What a delight to compare stories, remind each other to reclaim power from our pain, and appreciate the genius of the Game and our experiece.
Daughter, Friend, Angel and Light....all names for Teresa Rae. Thank you for showing up and playing in this grand adventure with me.
