I drove to Ghost Ranch in New Mexico a couple of years ago to what I was thinking was a Spiritual Retreat of sorts – well the Spiritual part of it for me had nothing to do with any body else. I drove by myself from Texas to New Mexico – which was way out of my emotional and physical comfort zone.
I drove on windy roads thru a storm – which for me was driving through FEAR. I camped by myself – hiked by myself – in unpredictable weather. This may not seem like a big deal to some – but the storm that went on inside of me and outside of me several times was truly amazing. It was like the inside of me was in 3D. I saw what I felt like. I saw the fear – the unpredictability of it – would it storm while I was out alone, not really sure where I was? I carried it like a backpack – will I have to bring out the fear or not. I realized that in every step I had a choice – to go forward – or go back. I am Never going back. I am choosing to live and love in the moment. The past no longer has a grip on me (most of the time). I can handle the storms because I “know” that I am exactly where I am suppose to be or I wouldn’t be here. Everything happens for the growth of my soul.
And if we want a sign that we are on a path of joy – all we have to do is look up – and “see” what’s on the other side of fear.
I saw a double rainbow – which caused me to giggle.
I pray that Today – you look up – instead of walking the same walk and seeing the same things and thinking the same thoughts – I pray that today you choose to see something different, think something different, smell, taste, and Feel all that Love has to offer you today.
Blessings and love,
