Shine on.

During meditations lately I have been receiving a message from God: Go a mile deep, Trish, rather than a mile wide.  Also life circumstances have been tidal waving toward me.  Schedules changing, job demands increasing for the better, partnerships solidifying, life circumstances shifting, and so on. Trying to get in every last minute with my daughter who heads to college in a few months.  I do  not like the feeling of being not being grounded so I meditate more.

Within the meditations over the last few months, there has been an ever present message to dive deep. Rather than going a mile wide, can I travel a mile deep instead? Life certainly has many twists and turns. It is always interesting when you know God is leading you, preparing you for what is to come, but you have no idea what or when......and so you just......wait.....ever impatient....you wait. 

Then the perfect thing materializes at the most imperfect time. If you trust and you sit down on the inside and listen.....I mean REALLY LISTEN....the answer is there. Step forward or remain where you are. It helps if we let go of attachment to outcome and understand God has the results covered. All we can do is RESPOND to what God is asking us to do. Then, if we are brave enough and trust enough, we take that step forward....the perfect thing at the imperfect time....and things begin to fall away....the foggy things, the cloudy things....and we just KNOW our feet are guided and obstacles slide off and we become free.....discovering it actually IS the perfect timing. We just didn't know it yet.  

Our new path can be confusing and overwhelming and exciting and motivating and disturbing and exhilarating.  All of it, just twisting and turning, moving and shaking, bending and straightening.  God has a plan and we are on it. One step at at time. Learning, growing, pruning, refining, and moving forward one breath at a time.  We need to be present and still and not get carried away on those attachments, the need to succeed, or the drive that knocks others over.  Our hearts and minds need to be open to hear, to see, and to feel the ripple effect on others and be willing to love them and ourselves as we ARE.  God meets us where we are at and so we must learn to meet others where they are at.  Our lives are tangled and we are constantly weaving webs that color one another's souls.  God often asks us to trust Him and take an unusual path....one less traveled and so many will judge or assume things that are not true. You can only trust and live for the audience of One. 

Remember your vibe attracts your tribe. Shine brilliantly and be such a dope, God-centered soul, that people crave your vibe.  Love them and your self wildly as you take the road less traveled....as it was made specifically for you with God's purpose......and you were made to be brilliant.  Shine on.

Onward and upward as usual!  Grab your cape.....it's gonna be epic.
