As I begin to write, I am engulfed with the blessing of experiencing a magnificent spring day in Ohio. The air is crisp, but not cold - jacket is optional. The sky is a baby blue and the clouds of white puff balls are scattered in an endless array of nature's design. The sun's warmth and light adorns the landscape. I am able to feel all living creatures, including myself, drinking in the beauty of the day. As someone raised on the East Coast, being here in Ohio, I find there is something magically intoxicating about the sky in Ohio. I feel a sense of limitlessness abundance every time I gaze upwards. Though it is the same sky in both areas, it shows up in a different way. I am sure we can all relate to that concept - showing up differently depending on our environment. We tend to maneuver based on our beliefs, conditioning and the people around us in the moment. We conform, we self protect, we dim ourselves, we give away our personal power. So many of us choose to not fully walk in the Light of who we are because in order to do so, we must be in acceptance of the Shadow of who we are. The Truth of the Self causes us to lose the false sense of control we think we have. The Truth causes transformation......and change can be frightening.
Allow yourself to step forward and stand in the fullness that is YOU. Slowly release old thought patterns that keep you trapped in a place hidden away from experiencing the fullness of life. As we bring our awareness and compassion to our emotions, thoughts and patterns, we begin to feel comfortable allowing full expression. As we begin to understand ourselves, we develop the freedom to be our true self. We no longer need what's outside of us to change or be controlled to supply a source of comfort for us. We become that source of safety and comfort for ourselves. We begin to be able to allow what/who is outside of us to be exactly as they are because we cultivate safety within ourselves. We have established an inner connection to that part of ourselves that is uplifted and connected to a higher source. We recognize and activate our innate wisdom into our reality.
Let us give ourselves permission to live each day and every moment immersed in the truth of our creative beauty within. Let us express this beauty outward and shine for all to see!
The East Coast has its beauty as well. The ocean gives us that same feeling of limitless abundance, and coaxes us to reach for our strength and personal power. The Universe of Nature is always here to remind us of how powerful we are and at the same time, the need to balance with the Laws of the Universe of Nature. There is beauty in everything, its all about what you choose to see and who you choose to BE.
