Sometimes we have to be brought to our knees in order to Fly!

Really, take it from one of the most STUBBORN people I know, ME. I felt like I didn’t have any control over my life. I blamed my unhappiness on everyone else. I didn’t know how to change what I felt was, “ happening to me”. (Who or What is Running Your Life?)

Then one day, as I was walking down a sidewalk full of anger and resentment, a car sent me spinning in the air. During those forty feet or so in the air, nothing mattered; a sense of peacefulness washed over me. At that point,  I surrendered, knowing that I was in God’s hands and this DJ personality would either go on or not.

Now, I spend my life growing my ability to surrender to my Higher Power, to Spirit, to God and helping others do the same.

I am learning that I do have the ability to CHOOSE how I feel; how I look at people, issues, situations, and challenges. The opportunity to look at someone or something from a place of compassion and love always exists. (Who’s Right?)

The truth of the matter is, we don’t know what’s best for us. I never would have thought, “what’s best for me, was to get hit by a car”. That event changed my life.

Spirit got my undivided attention.

Now I want Spirit to have all of my attention, because in that space, there is peace, freedom, love, trust, and happiness that surpasses all understanding.

I want to grow these moments.

I pray that we all spend time “seeing” the Light that is in us, that we make friends with it, and in doing so, we make friends with the entire world.

You know what I mean, in the silence, you “know” that you are bigger, than just you.

After being brought to my knees, I am allowing Spirit to create the most amazing life for me. I have no idea what I will being doing next week or next year and I can’t wait!

blessings & love,

p.s. this is a picture that I took of a wood carved figure in Bali, isn’t it amazing!

Until next time, be radiant, radical, & real!
