It’s the title of a book by Iyanla Vanzant that I’ve had on my bookshelf for years and never read. But something about the title has always spoken to me, and while looking at my website and seeing yesterday’s post title–And Then What Happened?–it was the answer I heard from within.
There isn’t any music or singing. No flashes of lightning or fluttering in my heart. And yet–there IS something different. I’m observing people all around me opening up in ways that previously were kept ‘secret’ or ‘distant.’ They share intimate longings for spiritual connection, talk about being born with a Caul (an indication of deep spiritual knowing and in some cases extraordinary psychic connection). I’m finding myself more and more in awe of what is being said OUT LOUD, of the courage and deep well of honesty required to do so.
But this is what I’ve been asking for isn’t it?! Yes, it certainly is. I want to be authentic and speak my truth out loud. And that is exactly what’s been happening in my life–on a fast track most recently. Our natural response to expansion is to contract. We need it sometimes in order to feel grounded again. We must be gentle with ourselves in this space–well, in any space. Too easily we forget the delicacy of soul language. And that my friends, is why our task is to honor our truth, building stamina in our souls. So that one day, when the call comes to say the unthinkable, to expose the unreasonable–we’ll be ready. We will have done the work that compels us to stand up and answer the call.
There’s no fancy language for what it means. It’s just true. My soul opened up. The beckoning continues. I just needed to get still and hear it. Thank you for your comments, your loving support, your gentle spirits as companions along the way. I treasure each one.
The journey continues….xoxo
I love, love, love the new theme – both on your blog and in your life – what an exciting time we live in.
I so enjoy your insights and thoughts. Of course, you have also helped me in my own personal journey. Look how far I have come with a nudge and some support! You are all so fun and so creative. I look forward to each post!
The greatest reply we could receive in our hearts, I think – is to know that sharing our own truth, our own struggles with being authentic – in turn allows another to do the same in their own way. Thank you…so glad you’re here to share the journey. Much love. xoxo
Delighted at your new insight…isn’t it lovely how these things happen? ~Love this~
Very lovely…thank you for your note and presence. xoxo
