If In Role, I Embrace This One

We all have roles we hold in our world. Some we embrace and others we are striving to walk away from. So what has got me all juiced up? What has me rising each day ready to garb myself with its potent attributes and bring them forward into my day, my practice and my community? It is a role that I celebrate in you and in others in my life. The role of a Thought Leader. How do you know you are stepping out as a Thought Leader? There are some specific signs and indicators. You realize that since the day you were born you have been experiencing opportunities to practice for this role. There have been no life events that did not help you expand into it.

You find your path crossing with amazing mentors who are also Thought Leaders. They come along to model and guide you, to support you and to challenge you. Their lessons and gifts boost your comfort in this role more and more each day! You find yourself having conversations that feed your soul.

You are passionate about your work, your calling, your service to others. When you are in your groove it feels as though the Universe is rolling out the red carpet for you and making sure you have a venue, an audience and opportunities to share and create. You feel timeless and are filled with gratitude. You are motivated and feel the energies moving through you.

You are willing to take risks and embrace your failures as you know that these are the places where many of the biggest lessons unfold! Greatness is to be found here! As much as you love a successful endeavor and an open door, you do not fault yourself for the times things just did not take off or the door remained closed. If you have moved off course you trust your guides, intuition, and your gut to guide you back. You have learned to work with these important tools. You have learned to take away the gems and move onward.

These are just a few of the characteristics of a Thought Leader. It is a role that more and more will step into as our present bridges with our future. We are embarking on a time that requires this forward thinking to be married with forward actions. The roles of the visionary and healer of the past, while important and valuable for their time are shifting. There is a new way that the leaders, the healers, the shaman, the mystics, the teachers, the visionaries, and the thinkers are taking. Join us if you feel the call of this role. It may be the best of this lifetime, if not the most impacting.

As We Heal

…As we heal, the Earth Mother feels our joy. We are like cells in and on her body. The power of love, the power of healing, the power of compassion, the power of unity, and the power of knowing are our abilities. These are the gifts our Earth Mother seeks to share with us at this time. ~ Jamie Sams Healing is an interconnected energy that flows throughout the world, to all its creatures and beings, to the stars and the ancestors, among the realms, in between the moments, and is woven between the dreams and through the hearts across all time. This healing is an energy that carries the stories, embraces the love, transports the understanding, shares the lessons, reveals the light, and showers the beauty. Earth Mother knows She is one stop on the journey and she wants this particular destination to be a vibrant and joyous one for us.

The wavering line of time eludes us as humans. We are not always able to comprehend that the before and the yet to come and the present is all about NOW. When we can sit with the realization that throughout time we are continually gathering and sharing energies. These energies are filled with our gifts and abilities and there are other energies at play that want and need to be a part of ours. It is in this union that the wonder happens, the compassion grows, the joy is built upon and the healing flows. We have a far greater impact on the energetic flow throughout the Universe than we know. If we can sit with this and embrace it we begin to feel it, to live it and to want to continue to be in this creative force.

To embrace our healing and to be open to where it takes us is vital to this energetic orchestration. We become an integrative influence. We become part of the rhythm and the flow. Our abilities begin to shine brighter and brighter. We begin to see the beauty that surrounds us with a different focus. We walk on this earth with a sense of engagement with ALL. Our soul begins to recognize its call and it shows up with great power and expansive light.

Your Soul Knows

Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future; therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do, it will take you where you need to go, but more important it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey. ~ John O'Donohue Can you find the comfort and peace within the above words? We live frantic lives of reaching for success, striving to win, struggling with our accomplishments and comparing ourselves to others. All that energy becomes so wasted. Much of our focus is skewed. And our perspective is not aligned with our souls.

If we can begin to take small steps of trust we can begin to find this comfort. Our soul holds the wisdom of our every move, our choices and our intentions. It will send to us guidance; call to us those who we need to meet or know, share with us energies that will help transform and guide us onward.

As we open ourselves up to this type of rhythm we find that there is a great grace added to our day. We find we begin to see the beauty around us. We find that we take little for granted and grow with abundant appreciation. If we can put our trust into the guidance of our soul we will find the possibilities grow. We will find that our understanding will expand. And we will find that our trust will grow.

Source wants more for us in life than we could ever imagine could be ours. It brings to us through our soul energies of great love, opportunity and insight. If we learn to be open to this energy, if we learn to be present with it, we will notice that our steps and direction in life becomes clearer and this clarity encourages us on to reach higher, to think broader and to find the delight along the way. Finding this rhythm of our soul means we find a graceful pace to our strides through life.

Imagine This Dream

"My dream is to be a part of a movement of being kind to ourselves and to others and witness a generation of young people that no longer waste years of precious life on self-loathing like I have because they think they are un-beautiful."~ Jade Beall Photography Picture the day when the negative self-talk ends for all. Imagine the possibilities, the power, the joy and the beauty. Imagine the different way the world would appreciate, honor and operate. It is possible, especially since I know ANYTHING is possible.

How do we begin this? How do we create this new and exciting trend? How do we make it the next best thing, the must have, and the topic of every conversation? How do we make self-loathing and negative self-talk a thing of the past; soooooo yesterday?

We have to start with ourselves. We have to not just talk about it, but BE it. We have to model it, support it, celebrate it, encourage it and honor it. We have to cherish and require it. It can be what saves us. It will be what empowers. It should bring peace. Imagine!

The precious energies will no longer be wasted and instead flow into the positive realms, the healing realms, the growing and evolving realms. These barriers of good enough, pretty enough, thin enough, tall enough, small enough…these barriers would fall and instead we would see each others attributes that matter and have effective impact on our lives and on the lives of others. We would witness the compassion of others, the generosity, the grace, the authenticity … imagine! Imagine being so kind to ourselves and to others that negativity is hard to recall and instead we see the power in each soul, the beauty in each face and the joy in each body. Imagine!
