Greetings!
| We all are on a sacred journey, each unique, yet connected. (Doesn't it feel better to say life is a sacred journey instead of a daily grind? :)
Read the words to ponder below. Let them sink in.
Life transitions may throw us for a loop temporarily, but life is about change. Growth. Discovery. When I learned to let go of my tight hold of what I thought life was supposed to be (a checklist of sorts), I have indeed expanded my vision of what is possible. And it is so much better than anything on my checklist.
When you are faced with challenges, take a pause and breathe. This is your sacred journey and you are exactly where you need to be right now. No hurries, no worries.
Let the lessons of these challenges transform you. Listen to your intuition. As I always say in my teachings, stay connected to your IV, your Inner Voice. The IV is your life line and always leads you to where you need to be.
You came here to enjoy life, not just endure the daily grind. Do you really think every baby born is supposed to end up miserable or stuck in a rut?
If you are having trouble hearing your Inner Voice, it's time to make some changes. It's time to turn inward and start listening. It's time to go forward and shape your life into a magnificent tale.
Are you ready?
Words to Ponder:
"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love."

...road tripping through northern part of North Carolina.... these two establishments were just down the road from each other. My question: What came first - the wedding at the race car museum chapel or the baby shower gift from the roadside shack?
