Morning Reminders
It’s been a week where I have been greeted every morning by a beautiful boy. He perches himself perfectly in my sight and picks the same tune every single morning to let me know that it is “him”. I know exactly who it is reaching out to get my attention. I receive messages in that moment. Most of them are messages to remind me of something, something that I am struggling to see at the moment. There’s something very special about the messages we receive from the outside. It requires us to broaden our perspective and look within. We are on the receiving end of it all.
Our universe is always guiding us toward something greater than we are aware of. We are the creators of our universe. Our soul is infinite. We create everything that comes our way. Our thoughts create what unfolds for us. Positivity is key. We choose to see the positive and the light in everything that happens in our life. Recently, I went into this very dark place. A place I have not been in in a very long time. I managed to crawl out of it and with the support of my husband and luckily it didn’t last very long. I am not ashamed or the least bit afraid to admit that the human in me feels too much sometimes. Change is hard for me. There are times where I feel that I am living a life that is not for me. I think too much. I feel too much. The burden is real and it takes a toll. On the outside I am always smiling. On the inside I am sometimes too much for my soul to handle.
This past Saturday I took a pretty bad fall down my wooden floor stairs. Luckily, I am okay. It was a huge wake up call. Literally, a sign for me to slow my thoughts down and to stop creating the darkness that I was allowing to come in. It was a sign for me to follow what I already know lies within me and only me. It was a sign for me to embrace all the beautiful things in my life and to stop focusing on other things. I need to keep following my path, even if it’s not the path I don’t think is meant for me. Every thing is happening FOR me right now.
When we are not able to pull ourselves out of something, no matter what it is, trust me our universe will. We are given hardships to help us understand what we are lacking to feel whole. In my case, I need to take care of myself. I lost myself for a bit. I am in a new career path right now and it’s taking away from what I truly love. Juggling life has become hard for me. Falling down the steps made me aware and it brought me back to a sense of “knowing”.
As I am typing this blog I am sitting at my kitchen table drinking an amazing cup of coffee. I am also making sure that my three boys are up and ready for school. I am grateful to be here in the morning to see them off. I know these days will not last. I went back to my morning practice. Which means getting up earlier to practice meditation and gratitude and a morning workout. Today, I am most grateful that my universe shook me up a bit! And, boy it was a wake up call for sure. Falling down the stairs at 44 hits different than at 13. I was reminded how precious my body is and how I need to take care of it. I was reminded that I am not “falling”, I am rising up. Everyday I walk up these stairs and everyday I will be reminded that some days I may trip and fall and that doesn’t mean that I don’t have the power to get back up.
For anyone that struggles. I see you. My struggle is not new. It’s something that has been a part of who I am for as long as I remember. I hope this blog lifts you up and helps to remind you of something you may be missing in your life right now.
Until next time…
Love & Light, Always!
