Joyful Spirit

The jovial sound of laughter filled the room. An amidst joy of happiness encompassed my soul. I hadn't quite felt that way in some time. I was humbled by the friendliness of people and their conversations with me. It was quite an experience to receive such honor. You never know who can touch your soul. I mean really grasp a chord and make a difference. To inspire the smiles from within to shine. To point out the unique magic and mystery that your soul relinquishes. Blessings come in the everyday moments with people. It was in that moment that the joy I hadn't felt in so long...and yet knew hadn't gone away...appeared back into my soul...and gently allowed my joyful spirit to shine.

Fearlessness

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It's the mastery of fear. It's about getting up one more time than we fall down. --Arianna Huffington Nothing like a soy vanilla latte fixed to perfection with the exact saying that you needed to read on the side of the cup. With the notion of fear, one must press on, for how will fear subside if one doesn't try. May fear not override your soul....instead face the fear....and embrace the process of trying....that's where the magic and mystery reside.

Change

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.

- Jack Dixon


It's all in perceptive and the way we choose our actions. The change is inside of all of us. When one decides to take the leap and make the change....results will inevitable change too. It's about getting out of the ebb and flow of life...embracing another avenue....and cherishing new moments that touch the heart. Focusing on the change....causes bravery and courage....but once results are seen....change can be a beautiful thing.

Changing a pattern in life...can be so taunting and almost foreign. Not sure how to break free from old patterns and embrace new....but it's all about trying....one may fail....others may exceed...but if one doesn't try to change....then nothing will ever happen....nor ever be exciting and new.

So here's to the change.....of embracing another path....walking a new road.....and cherishing new moments....that will still encompass the taste of a latte.

Quest for Truth

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth

- Mahatma Gandhi

Undefined situations may pierce the heart and leave one questioning who they are. When emotions and words are quenched by silence...the heart seeks the truth. When muck and mire are thrown into the path representing hardship one learns to embrace the courage to live. When life is brinked upon the shore one fades into time to yearn for reasoning. Life hangs and causes the passion to subside. As the heart and soul grow wiser one's quest for truth ignites.

It may not be easy to be silent in given situations....but I can guarantee that the fulfillment through the silence is one of hope....the path broadens and the light sparks...it is perilous....but it teaches discipline, and allows the true, genuine character to shine.

Capturing Clarity

Capturing clarity was a prayer I have been praying for some time now. This week the adventure unfolded before my eyes. Clarity was captured in a moment's time to send answers regarding a situation that I was apart of for a few years. When that clarity came it was overly pronounced and made my heart utterly leap. I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. A sense of relief washed over my soul and allowed my heart to feel free again. I felt my heart jump with excitement in that moment.

A prayer simply answered....not maybe the way I had hoped....but in the way that showed me there is still a supernatural force working on our behalf. A moment when clarity screamed....this is why!!!! Oh to be overjoyed and understand the reason behind faithfulness, obedience, and courage. To sense the beginning of new journey and embracing the light that now shows new found hope.

Clarity spinning and capturing the life that could have been, but simply wasn't in the plan. A moment where in time, and reason...couldn't explain....only being forced to obey. Being faithful to the moments that captured my heart and brought truth to light.

Lives colliding without seeing....lives inspiring just living. Clarity showing intentions were pure...no motives to grasp. A legacy embraced for the moment to live on. A life transformed by the faithfulness from the start.

Capturing clarity for the moment where life took the turn and death was the despair. My heart anguished left wondering for countless days. Overdrawn by the heart wrenching loss and realizing that it was truly a gain. Never knowing or grasping reason, just hoping that life was worth living. To rejoice for the one loss and knowing restoration was captured when time stood still. Embracing the heart of a moment's time and living with passion, discovering life.

What a true honor, to be able to have walked the few years blinded, to experience the defining, ever so intense moment of capturing clarity!

Less traveled

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost

Thank goodness...I chose the road less traveled...it has left me perplexed for a few years...but I am realizing that risk was choosing the different path....sight unseen. Now I can officially say that all the questioning and reasoning...is appearing to be clearer.

Chaos

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

There's no such thing as chaos, only certain patterns of order we fail to understand.

~ Kierkegaard
