I started writing this blog aimlessly last year with no thought to its content or the frequency I'd be updating it. I just felt like writing. And even more than that I felt like sharing some of myself. I have no idea who reads it or how its perceived, but I feel as though I'm opening myself up to something, and that feels right.
There have obviously been many dark times in the last 8 months, and before that even, of course. The overall theme of my posts seems to have been struggle tinged with hope and faith in something better. Some posts have been far less hopeful than others. All part of the magnificent journey that continues until we expire : )
For all my sluggish soul searching I feel like all of a sudden I'm incredibly different. Some kind of a switch has been flipped lately that has had an incredible impact. Nothing external has changed at all, but my awareness of my own power to shape my life has lit a fire in my heart that is radically changing anything and everything.
I've always known that my prison is a self-imposed one, as it is for us all, but I've now actually tasted what it feels like to simply....... walk out into freedom. It really is a very simple choice to be made. Incredible.
There have been dozens and dozens of things I've experienced lately that I would have previously placed on a spectrum between highly unlikely and utterly impossible. Tiny, mini-prisons or identities that were so firmly rooted in my life have been exposed to be flimsy houses of cards.
There's so much momentum building as a result of these small changes that I'm actually frightened of all the possibilities that lay before me.
I've not felt love, for others or for myself, flow so easily and freely as it does now. I feel beautiful and full of purpose and compassion and ability.
I'm focused on keeping this great momentum going but also on examining the changes happening. Nothing is as valuable and worthy of awareness as our own growth and especially that that involves casting off limitations.
Peace : )
