I am blessed to have several circles of friends and
co-journeyers who willingly share their successes and challenges. Each time I
experience that gift it is a reminder to me that, although we all need times of
solitude and reflection, in the big picture we are not meant to walk alone. I
cannot imagine my life without these people in it. As a result, whenever I have
those moments of feeling lonely and alone I am aware it is a mindset, not a
reality, and can then easily recall the last moment of truly being present with
a friend.
It was in a conversation with one such friend, Debra Vey Voda-Hamilton a lawyer
and loving, compassionate, mediator in disputes involving animals, that she
reminded me that she had listened to my CD series many times and each time was
inspired to take those risks I call for, to have a clear vision, and to create
the dream of her choice. We were looking at how far we have come and yet
realizing we have only just begun. What a gift that is to realize and to have
someone who will lovingly laugh with you while encouraging you to go even
further. I wish that for all of us.
Debra talked
of my clear vision to find a home on the water, in a small town, with a clear
sense of belonging while developing new friendships that call me to become even
more. She reminded me of my words that the gift, and task, for all of us is to
spend the time needed to create a clear vision, to know exactly what it is that
we want, and then to be open to receiving it. Clarity, purpose, and openness to
what is to come creates an energy of expectation (not hope) and calls us to
make ourselves ready to become that self we are wanting to be in that place we
want to be. Energetically, we must first embody our next dream; we must raise
our vibration to that level, so that it naturally connects to us. Don’t wait
for your dream to show up to grow into it, grow first and your dream will find
you, the new you!
Here are
some pictures of my latest dream. The first is looking out the living room window- the second is the first view I have each morning as I wake up, and the third is from the front veranda: Water is visible from each room of the home.
I am
now preparing for the next one. I already envision it and am starting to feel
it as my own. What's yours? How does the new energy feel as you envision it?
