Weaving our life's flow of ebbs

"When we feel we must retreat, we learn the greatest lessons of our life's destiny"

The sun and the moon rise and fall together. They mirror each other with the perfect combination of light and dark. Kissing the horizon with each new day. Allowing the glistening rays of the sun to shine into our waterfall that is our soul.

Every new day builds us up, and just like the rising sun we allow our light to shine into the souls we meet for the day. Building a web of connections to create a web of a "home."

Home is not where we plant our roots, it's not where we buy a house and sit stationary while we grow old. Home is the network of each thread we connect from our soul to another. While some of these connections are very temporary, they still remain. They still come with a storyline. A work connection, a stranger at a gas station connection (click here for another blog post on that ;) http://lifeflysb.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-man-at-gas-station-truth-of.html A connection to teach us what we don't want, or maybe just what we need. Some threads continue to expand, and intertwine along life with us. They build layers one thread at a time to form a thick bond that could never be destroyed. Never think too lightly about the people who pass into our lives. Every single being, no matter if they are human, or an animal, or a soul we cannot physically see, all mean something more than we might recognize in the current moment in time. All we need to know is they are there to keep our web full, and strong enough to withstand any storm that might come our way. The greatest lesson to learn is that a web can be taken down, it can be rebuilt day after night. Just like that spider, we take our "home" wherever we may go. Execute life with nothing but the intention of love, and that my dear soul, is where we find "home."

The Man at the Gas Station: The Truth of Universal Signs

I have never really been the type of person to hold a conversation with strangers. However over the last month or so, I am finding that people who cross my path, even in the most ordinary places, are inclined to start a conversation with me. It is funny how signs manifest themselves when you are actually spiritually awake enough to recognize these moments.

As an awake Lightworker I actually love when these types of situations play out. Not that this encounter was anything “ball busting eye opening,” but just the fact that it happened. That some mysterious person at a gas station, at the same time as me, wanted to have a conversation. It was definitely a universal sign to remember to always recognize and acknowledge the people that cross our paths. They could have messages for us from whatever “source” we believe in. Or they could be friendly reminders that we are not alone during those times when we feel the most alone.

So I was getting gas on Friday, the only additional stop outside of my daily commute that I have made since arriving in Virginia. The guy pulls in behind me and starts his own pump. He sees my NC license plate and asks, “What part of North Carolina?” I tell him just outside of the Asheville area, and he says “No kidding, I used to live out in Asheville, so are you just travelling through?” As positive as I could possibly make my voice at the time I stated, “No, I just moved here for a job,” At that point he responded “Oh, I’m sorry.” Trying my best to chuckle about it, all I could manage to say back to him was, “yeah, me too”

The most interesting part of the rest of the conversation came when he started talking about the Asheville music scene, and how there is nothing around here that even closely compares to the music you find in Asheville. Music for me is a huge part of my life. Not just because I write lyrics but seeing live bands and singers in small venues is one of my favorite past times. There is nothing more touching to life than watching a talented musician sing and play from their heart. I don’t even need to know the singer, or the band and I will be filled with some kind of unexplainable joy that comes right from the center of my heart. Music is a part of who I am, it resonates with me from the core of my being. I use music to find healing in life when it gets tough. I was the 12 year old kid who cried her eyes out at a Melissa Etheridge concert and had no idea why.

After leaving the gas station, and for the rest of my commute home, I found myself a bit sad after this conversation with the stranger at the gas station. But I really believe he was a reminder of the life I love. It made me miss home, but also gave me the courage to remember this move is only temporary, I won’t be here forever, and it is okay to miss the comfort zone of the life I had to leave.

So to the man at the gas station, thank you for our conversation, thank you for the 10 minute reminder that I am not alone, and thank you for the material you gave me to write this blog.

Always remember to appreciate our random encounters, they may not be as random as we think. They could come from our angels at just the right moment. They are friendly reminders that the path we are on is the right place to be. Just hang in there and let our messages guide us one step further.

When we Feed our Soul, and Surrender our Ego

I know when most people think of the word “Surrender” they associate that with failure, or giving up. But what if I told you, what most people don’t realize is that when we surrender, in the right frame of mind (as in let our ego sh*t go)… we are making an offering to the Divine? We are actually allowing our universe to be as it should.

The current problems, or worries that have been nagging at us from the inside…

The job we want...

The worries of financial abundance...

The love we want…

The weight we want to be…

Anything that might come to mind when we sit down at the end of the night and ponder each thought we might have of life, these are all things we are worrying about. These are all things as humans we try to control. When we try to control something, the only thing we are actually doing is allowing it to control us. When it comes to matters of life these things or ideas of what we want have to be acknowledged from a level of our soul. So to truly give peace to our worries, and manifest the truest path into our reality, we must surrender what we want.

The universe and the Divine power of the “you” inside is always working, and looking out for our highest good. The things that we don’t get in life, right now, are put there for 2 reasons: The first is what we must surrender, and the second is the reason why.

1.      That isn’t the path that is intended for us---No matter what steps we take in an attempt to get the things we want, we will still end up back on the original journey of our destiny. Yes we do have the conscious choice to make (or force) whatever we want into existence, but think of it as a detour, we are only prolonging the original outcome of our actual highest good. Make the decision to surrender, and allow each moment, in the present, to play out as it should. When we practice this we can rest assured that it will be the quickest way to get from point A to point B. That time in between A and B is the only time we have to learn whatever life lessons we must learn before point B can work, for our highest good. Confusing, I know… and far from easy. But we must allow it, we must surrender whatever it is. During that time we should be paying attentions to the signs we are receiving from the universe, what are they trying to tell us? Those signs hold small insight into the lessons we must learn before what we want will become a reality. If it is not for our highest good then we must trust our option B will actually be better than what we originally thought.

2.       It is not the right time---We all came here with a purpose for our life. There are things, or contracts if you will, that have to be honored during our time on this earth. When we surrender our wants, we allow the path to be free and clear. It may not come today, tomorrow, or a week from now. But if it is for our highest good… it will come. So why sit here in pain and agony, letting ourselves be consumed in all the ‘worries’ of our world. Allow it to be. Allow it to grow and flourish into everything we need it to be. Our true and divine self will bring it to us in the exact time it should. At that time it will be better than we could have ever imagined. In the meantime, don’t view this time as a waiting period, we are not ‘waiting’ for anything, we are simply letting the path be the path it was always going to be. The trick to finding peace during this time is to be mindful and conscious of the current day we are experiencing… right now, this moment, this hour, and in this very minute. If we are showing gratitude to what is happening now, we are finding the peace inside ourselves. We can’t possibly notice the signs if we are busy living in any future moment that has not happened yet.

I’ll give an example from my own life. My writing. I keep sitting here worrying and stressing about, “Should I take classes?” , “ I need to find some specific direction, or my “muse” to narrow down what I want to write about.” , “Will anyone take me seriously because I have no “certification” or piece of paper that gives me some kind of credit. When actually the truth of the matter is, the words are just inside of me. Every day, and every moment I am learning new lessons, some that just need to be wrote about. If I surrender my fears that no one will read my post, or no one will understand what I am trying to say. Then I can actually sit and just write. There are billions of people in this world, and someone, somewhere is going to read this blog and it may, or may not, change their outlook on life. To be honest I have no control over that. That is not my worry to bare. My only control is that I surrender my fear of the outcome, and my burning want to be a writer, and I just write. If no one comes, then I keep writing about the next idea that pops into my head. For my highest good to be honored all I have to do is keep writing. The only worry I should be having at this moment is the fact that I am sitting here at 1:30am rambling on. I am surrendering to the fact that in this very moment I am building, I am taking a step into my life, just like every other moment, and regardless, my Divine is still going to take me to all the same places, even if I was to choose to do something else right now. The only thing your choices change, is the timing.

What we are accomplishing by surrendering is displaying courage and trust. Courage for ourselves, and trust in our own Divine universe. It takes a great deal of courage to allow ourselves to trust what we cannot see. With that courage we can remind ourselves, when our ego mind pops up, that we are on the right path. We are always on the right path. Some paths just have more detours than others, and that is okay too. Those detours are our life’s lessons. After all, how fun could life be if we all stayed in a straight line?

Don’t sweat the small stuff beautiful souls, you are doing great. Believe in you, the true and divine you. Believe in love, the kind that comes from within, and my god believe in the magic.

All my Light and Love.

When being lost is the best way to find yourself

The truth to that statement is so real, but to many it hardly makes sense.

When your lost you are actually on the verge of a break through. Struggle can only be temporary, but it's your job to truly understand that.

When you feel lost it seems like all your wants, dreams, direction, and desires have just shit right out the window. That is when you actually start to listen to what is in your soul.

You take a deep breath and you dig deep inside yourself to pull out what your heart and soul really want you to know. Being lost is the exact time your soul will begin to speak to you, all you have to do is listen.

Put your fears down, put your ego down, and give in to that voice inside of you that knows what is true.

Remember, you are not lost, you are aligning with your mind, body, spirit, heart, and soul.

With all my light and love <3

Placing the pieces of life's puzzle

I find it strange to sit and wonder just where life is planning to take you. Thinking back through all my moves. Took my first breath of air in central NY, had dreams to live in the south, to play volleyball in college, so I moved to SC my senior year in high school. Thankfully with the support of my mother's. Did the college thing, always kind of thought it was pointless. Got a decent job to get me through some of the tougher times in my life. Worked my way up in the company. At one point I truly thought that I would never leave that place.

But then I was offered another job, 7 hours away from all that I have known. Still too soon to know if it was a "better" job. But it allows me to eat, and make sure my Luna can eat. Allows me to have a place to stay and a bed to sleep in. Gives me a place to be for 8 hours a day. Until I come home and scribble down all these thoughts and spill all of all the sh*t that runs through my head.

Then I find comfort in knowing this is just another piece of the puzzle to this crazy, and beautiful life. At the end of the day I know I can actually go anywhere. The hard part is settling your mind to understand that the next piece isn't going to fit your puzzle until you actually find that piece, and you turn it one side at a time checking to see if this is the way it goes. If it doesn't fit you keep looking for another piece, and another.

So this current piece that just lined up is just another part of the bigger picture. Piece by piece you watch it come together.

I can't help but wonder where the next couple of pieces will take me. Daydream about where I want to go next, or where my next opportunity will take me. But at least I will know at the end of each day, I can close my eyes and enjoy the journey.

All my light and love <3
