THE VIEW THAT AWAITS ME

I am not always sure whether the path I am IS the best one for me. I mean, I do know, but of course my CONDITIONED self would have me BELIEVE another story completely. And I have found that the moment you can actually the energy of your heart's centre open, when you can feel your soul ALIVE WITHIN YOU, ego comes at you full force, naturally, because ego cannot breathe when you breathe from your soul, from your SPIRIT. 

I spent last weekend at THE I CAN DO IT 2014 conference, hosted by Hay House. I was surrounded by some completely wondrous souls, Dr. Wayne Dyer, CAROLINE MYSS, Robert Holden, NANCY LEVIN, Alex Woodard, ANITA MOORJANI, to name a few!! You could say the weekend was BEAUTIFUL, at the very least. 

I have spent most of my LIFE, IN ALL HONESTY, lost. Whether I had been actually aware of that statement or not. I had spent 23 years on a quest to reconnect to myself, to UNVEIL who I was, not the ego PROJECTED IDEAL of who I was, but me, my SPIRIT, at the depths of my core. There has been a lot of ups, and there has been a lot of downs. But here I am, about to celebrate my 25th year, and I now understand why I AM HERE. I now know that to have been lost, was a great GIFT. 

(Takes some REMINDING every now and then!!) I now know that all of those moments that brought me to my knees, well they were the MOUNTAINS I HAD TO CLIMB, so that I would be able to clearly see THE VIEW THAT AWAITED ME. 

Once the conference was over, I knew I had a lot to reflect on, I knew a lot had been brought to the forefront. And what stood out the most, after almost nearly every speaker, was YES. YES to my path, to my Journey, to the MOUNTAINS I HAVE CLIMBED and to the ones I have yet to embark on. THIS was why I am here. Not only to reconnect to myself, to my BEING, my SPIRIT, but to hold the hands of others who walk the same Journey, of those who have found themselves at the bottom of a MOUNTAIN. 

There's a strong BELIEF that we are all separate, that we have to walk alone, or stay WITHIN OUR DESIGNATED CIRCLES. But we are ONE, we are SO INNATELY connected. We all have our own path that has been created for us, but we can walk together, hold one another up, hold each others hands as we RISE from the ashes. We can be each others greatest healers, and soul lovers.

I looked around at all of the people who were there, all ages, male & female, all walks of life really, and yet we all yearned for the same. We all wanted to know we are loved, that we are worthy, that we have a 'spark of god' WITHIN ourselves. So how could we be separate? I knew as I left Vancouver, and made my way back to my humble ISLAND, that I had to honour my FIRE-LIT SPIRIT, that I had to honour the call that has become so very clear WITHIN me, to fearlessly love myself, and all of those I encounter. I may not have always known what the UNIVERSE had IN STORE for me, but my God,  the truth that LIFE IS SO COMPLETELY BEAUTIFUL, feeds a hunger WITHIN MY SOUL. 

Could you?!

Could you allow yourself to let go, for even one moment?! To take a step back and look at yourself, through eyes of love, rather than from a place of fear. Could you, for even one moment, surrender to your true self, and SHINE?! To know that you were created from love, and that you are meant to own your power, to go after whatever you may seek. Our Journeys are not about PERFECTION, but rather, progress, movement, and RISING up after we have crumbled to our bottom. Wherever you are on your path, could you allow yourself to leap? To take that one EPIC step towards the LIGHTHOUSE of love that you were always meant to follow. Could you, for even one moment, see how BEAUTIFUL you are?!

SPRING.. A lullaby of hope

I knew my path was about to change, that I was about to change. That one chapter was about to close, and a new, about to gently start. Warm, and gold sun rays had touched my body, so gently, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS. I could hear the waves ahead of me, the ebb and flow of the salty water, WHISPERING A LULLABY OF HOPE. 

THE WIND KISSED MY SKIN AND I SOMEHOW FELT RENEWED.There was an energy all around me, that told me to trust. To feel deeply. To move as the DAFFODILS had when they began to bloom. After a cold,damp, Winter, those spectacular flowers somehow trusted the process of Mother Nature, and knew they would blossom once more. And I wondered, did those DAFFODILS radiate a touch more after every bloom? More and more colourful, peaceful, and open, ready to share all of the beauty and glory that nature had bestowed upon them. I now understood that so many key lessons were all around me, once I chose to see them, once I opened my eyes to the love that was all around me, around all of us. 

And I thought to myself, perhaps one must lose the ground they walk upon, so they may bloom fully, and completely. Maybe, one must reflect, and go deep WITHIN, as the darker days of WINTER'S cold unfolds, and then return as the flowers would, blossomed and full of love. READY TO PROSPER AND DANCE WITH ABUNDANCE. 

WITH renewed hearts and souls, and a welcome to SPRING, may we be GUIDED forward. May we dance and play amongst the ever present beauty that nature has once more unfolded before our eyes.
