peaceful turbulence

My soul is stirring.  My imagination, unrestrained.  I am sensing a crossroad and I am feeling the flutter in my heart as I meet it.  I am being stirred by my commitment to live out my life with passion, intention, energy and a peacefulness that will outlast all twists, turns and turbulence along the way.

I have peacefully resigned to letting go of the destination by focusing on the day-to-day journey. A decision and philosophy that has liberated me from the angst of my inability to control each detour.  I have shifted my energy into pouring my heart and soul into each day, making each decision a loving and intentional one - a draining process that needs a tremendous amount of thought, focus and time. My soul is stirring. My passions are evolving. I am sensing a crossroad - one that may lead me down a different path than I am currently taking. 

I don't know how to do it all. I know that the amount of energy required of me to fully express each of my passions is too much to do it all to my standards. So, I am peacefully resigning to that turbulence that I feel is settling in. I have faith that with each dip and jolt the turbulence provides, a new sense of awareness will come over me. And as the clouds part, even for a split second, I will have the vision that will guide me in the direction I was meant to head toward. 

But until I arrive at my destination - if one truly even exists - I will enjoy the butterflies in my stomach that are meant to remind us we do not need permission to be giddy along the way. 

This was the view from my window seat on the airplane as I watched the sun set -
the same sun I watched rise over the ocean only hours earlier. 

Have faith in your process. Do not let the fear of the unknown overshadow the giddiness and energy that fear can provide.  And may the gratitude we've felt and expressed this week become a trend in our thoughts and in our words. Let us go forth together to love, serve and honor one another today and all the days to come.
