...more will be revealed...

There is a saying in one of the circles I run in that, "...more will be revealed..."

This life has been such a journey for me so far. A lot of disregarded selfishness, ego-centricity, ego deflation, pride, humility, sorrows, and joys...

I arrived at a day in my life about 6 years ago which brought into my awareness that I desperately needed things to change in me and in my life. Since that day I've been working hard to develop the most joyful life possible.

I used to be anxious to "arrive" or "get there", but so far, there doesn't seem to be a destination in sight. Thank God. I understand now, this will be a continuous process and I will be working at it for the rest of my life.

At first that didn't seem fair to me...but what I didn't understand was, I would continue to progress toward my goal each day. And the amount of joyfulness that I would feel would be increased both in intensity and duration. As an added bonus, just when I start to think I've got it all figured out and am comfortable with things, that is when the "more will be revealed" part comes in... it usually involves some work on my part to face something that I hadn't been ready to face yet, but it brings with it the opportunity to take this life to the next level and possibly learn to live and vibrate there.

Unconscious Expression

Dreams have always fascinated me and I have been blessed with ability to use my dreams to help me process things that are difficult to go through while I am awake.

Last night was a particularly helpful dream. I was who I am today, observing who I was "back in the day"...it was like watching a movie of my past. I found it super interesting and it helped me to put some things about myself into a new perspective. I imagine it was kind of like how a parent might feel watching their child but not being able to intervene... At any rate I gained a new understanding of myself and I am grateful for that. I hope it continues.

Sweet dreams :)

An Open Heart

Have you ever felt as though your heart is opening up?

Many of us -due to past hurt or loss- have closed off our hearts to love and let fear guide our interactions with people. While justified by the world and many of the people in it...it is in my opinion that this closing off, is a very tragic disconnect from our highest self.

I am just now starting to understand love's full potential and the power that it carries. While romantic love can be part of it, what I really mean is Love in general.

I personally have put up many barriers around my heart without even being aware of it. I became aware when I started to value myself and who I am, when I started to see the value in other people, and when I started to have the desire to share who I am with other human beings.

I have barely tapped the surface, I am sure, of Love's potential...but I can honestly say, that I am overwhelmed and in awe of what I am capable of feeling today. I have an immense amount of gratitude for the people that have been placed in my life to guide me and counsel me. It would have been much, much, slower going without them.

Open your heart. All you have to loose is the nothing you feel.
