Interesting how life just seems to shift without giving you a chance to catch up. It is like a wind that happens; pushing past the structures you have built, whizzing through your goals and stirring up your dreams. In one moment you find that you have to reassess where you are and where you thought you wanted to go. Interesting how life seems to shift you into another state of contemplation on your life and your journey.
In one year it my life has shift has been continuous and drastic and for a lot of people that I know. I am not alone in this re-shifting of the universe. Some people may attribute the changes to categories of good or bad but I am just trying to grasp the changes themselves, not judge them. As I am a firm believer that the Gods put you in a place to constantly revisit your needs and your commitment to your path; I know this is where I am in my life. I have, in many ways, taken on parts of the qualities of my Goddess.... becoming the mother figure to many inside and outside of my household. I never fully understood how taking on the vow to a deity could open that door. And as I am learning to adjust to this new found role, this new existence, the new expectations; I am also learning more about myself and who I really am at the core.
Learning to release to the will of my personal higher power is trying in many ways since it goes against my nature of needing to control the variables in my life; helping me to avoid being hurt. For this reason, I know I am being challenged to grow again and to become more of what I look to my Gods for.
Knowing that acceptance is the Key to Growth, I will honor this ever turning wheel of unexpected leaps in faith as I continue on this journey. With less than a year before the release of my book, I feel I a getting the opportunity to jump to yet another place that will increase my ability to be empathetic with my community and with those I might have the pleasure to support.
May you be blessed as I am learning to accept my blessings.
