Get your Shine on!

This is what I know through my many experiences of meeting you!

I know that you are beautiful, special and passionate. You are creative in your own special way.  You are in a growth cycle of life that is shifting from where you’ve been, back to who you truly are.  You are gifted and you look at life through a more spiritual lens.  You are intuitive, re-awakening and paying attention to the bigger picture.  Life is calling you to step forward in ways that may feel strange and not “the norm”.

Sometimes you feel confused, alone, afraid and unsure that your path in life is leading you in the right direction – it sometimes feels more than a bit unclear.  You may feel or sense that there is something bigger that you are being called to tap into.  Something different than what you think you “should” be doing.  You can no longer deny the knock, knock, knocking of an inner voice wanting you to open the door to a truer you.

Imagine if there were no rules, constraints, fears, physical, financial or otherwise.  No shame or need to create an elaborate story to justify that you are different.  What would you like to be, do, see, experience.  What is the true essence of you?  What does that part of you want to say to you and to the world?

What I know is that your truth wants to shine through.

What I know is that you need to let it shine through and shine brightly.  Not only for your own spirit but for all the others around you.

We need the light and so do you.  You are the Light!  Let it Shine.

How does your light shine or how would you’d like to let it shine.  What would it do for you and for the world to let it shine?  What does shine mean to you?

Here’s to Love, Light and Shining!

I took this photo on a lovely summer afternoon in Taos New Mexico.

I love this photo as it evokes many things for me comfort, beauty, curiosity, ease, warmth and an invitation to push them open.  I like to imagine what’s on the other side? Do you?

I can almost hear the birds chirping, the wind rustling through the trees, nearly smell the scent of the flowers and feel the warmth of the wood under my hands as I imagine leaning into the doors slowly pushing them open.   My breath held with anticipation and curiosity of what’s on the other side.  It could be the doorway to a beautiful garden, a meadow, a labyrinth, a busy street, an ocean beach, or anything else that one could imagine.  Are you curious?   I invite you to discover what’s on the other side.

To me this whole scene represents life and our many journeys.  The doors represent the untapped treasures of our inner spirit – or Inner Source of all knowing and all possibility.  The place to nurture our spirit, discover our passions, play with abandon, be adventurous, and create our hearts desires.  Really look at those doors, with those worn handles.  Don’t you wonder who has gone there before?  There is mystery and wisdom in those old doors.  As I take pause, I see the path leading to the doorway – placed there one stone at a time.  Just like life one step at a time.  I invite you to take in the whole picture.  What do you see, hear and feel?
