While driving home yesterday it hit me…….I felt happy.  Nothing of significance had occurred to warrant this feeling but still, there it was.  I felt happy and THAT was huge.

In the past there had always been some event or person or something outside of me to engage me in happiness but here, today, I was happy just because.  No special reason, just because.  There is no need for me to look outside today for inside me there is this deep well of peace and contentment rising to the surface.  I am full and complete and whole just the way I am…..right now.  I sigh.

I have been doing some pretty deep soul searching these past few months and for the first time in years, I am acknowledging that sometimes I too need to have assistance from others.  Not just commiserating with friends or acquaintances but actually setting time and money aside to be with those who are skilled in prompting others to dig deep from a place of safety and compassion.   Not unlike what it is that I do with those who seek me out for their own brand of spiritual cleansing.  Something has shifted.

This year has been one of deep cleansing for us all and, also for the planet.  We have all been seeing the intense cleansing that Mother Earth has been going through and it is obvious, at least to me, that what we are seeing outside ourselves is only a deeper reflection of what is going on within.  It is a time of coming into a place of acceptance for all that we are and all that we have been so that we can finally come to terms with where it is that we are heading and who it is that we have become.

The journey of self-discovery is one of a never ending quest.   There is no official destination for it is the journey that we seek.  The movement from one way of being to another as one continuous cycle of growth and learning is how it presents itself to me.  Is it easy?  Not particularly.  Is it useful?  Of course, but we do need to realize that we are being led by our own unique Soul Essence to discover the reasons for our being right here, right now.  Are you listening?

My work focuses on bringing people into a place of acceptance for where they are on their journey so that they can move beyond where they currently are and into a place that is more in alignment with who they are now.  There are many who are happy to sit in a place of complacency and have no desire to move anywhere else.  Oh to be one of those people!  However I have always searched for the place within my own Soul where I felt that I was playing the role that I was destined to play.  The role that would fully display my own art for we are all creator beings and, as such, our life becomes the frame that encompasses the art that we are showing to the world.

Are you showing your finest art in your framework?  Is there more that you wish to add to the picture that is your Life?  Interesting questions to ponder.

And now, today, I look out my window and see the sky is a beautiful blue and the sun is shining once more.  The sun has been shining a lot more this year and I wonder if perhaps the shift within me has somehow had an affect on how often the sun shines down upon me.  A heady thought.  Perhaps there is something to the idea that our thoughts affect our lives.  I am choosing to believe this to be true.

So just for this moment, open to the sunshine within your own life and know that you are blessed to the infinite….in every moment.
