Hello, What a fun message to share today. I am delighted to talk about the idea of not being alone as we go for our dreams. To truly understand how joyful this topic is to me, I need to share with you how much I try to control things. I tip towards micro-managing everything. I like certainty. A lot. My mother told me I was born clenching my hands, my tiny newborn hands were even trying to control birth.
Decades later, I learned that in Buddhism there is a meditation that practices sitting and breathing with hands open. Not grasping. Open to give. Open to receive.
What’s the secret I’m discovering these days? It’s that I cannot control all the variables AND when I am seeking light and sharing light, extra help shows up. I’m not alone. Goodness is not alone.
Intention to bring light, receive light, share light~ attracts light. I’m thankful for this. This knowing helps me breathe more easily, smile more easily, believe in crazy dreams more easily… because I don’t have to figure it all out. And I don’t have to do it all myself.
This relaxing of pressure on myself is lightening my load. It also has me embracing the journey~ its surprises and delights.
I find myself asking, “What am I willing to do, knowing that help comes when I need it and even when I don’t?” My list is braver, bolder, more fun.
Each day, I’m noticing when a smile from a stranger, a blossoming flower, my kitty saying hello… gives me a little light… a “go team.” And I try to pause and let myself say, “Thank you!”
A “thank you” to the mystery that smiles on us.
My hope is that MissyAnn is one of these moments of kindness & light in your day~ that she brings you a smile and a “Go team!”
It always feels wonderful to feel encouraged, believed in, supported & loved.
Peace & Joy!
