Where Is Idle In Your Life?

Where is idle in your life? You know when you are sitting at the signal light of life is your internal engine racing, or is it enjoying the moment of rest. So much of our lives is spent getting us from point A to point B. All the time missing the journey along the way. Over the last few weeks, I have felt this deep and abiding call from my heart to slow down and enjoy where I am verses wishing I was somewhere further along life's hi-way. You know that moment when you are on a road trip and you are more than half way there wishing you were sitting at the beach sipping a beverage with an umbrella in it. What I understand at this moment is that it is in those moment we can transform the perspective and enjoy the moment for what it has to bring. Like being on the beach thinking about what all you have to do at home when you get back. By being here, now I can enjoy each moment for what it has to offer and when I get to the next moment simply repeat the process all over again. 

Day 41: Rainbows, yes, there are indeed times in which we will go through a rainstorm, but the beauty that follows can take our breath away. It really all depends on where we have our focus. So many times, after it rains we are too busy complaining to enjoy the rainbows.

Wow, this is amazing and sums up the life lessons that I have received over the last few weeks. How many times do I miss the rainbow complaining and comparing my life to others? How much of my life goes into telling the story about the rain rather than on the rainbow and how that experience transformed my life.

Over the last few weeks, I have seen some of the most beautiful expressions of love happening before my eyes. 1000 year old trees, beaches, waterfalls, rainbows just to name a few. Underneath that lesson is the lesson that I want to talk about today. The miracles in our everyday live that we totally miss wishing we were further along than we are.

I have felt the call of my heart asking me to really look deeply at how I see my life. Be a virgo paying attention to detail is a fact that I know all to well. Yet there are times when I can shift that perspective from detail to bliss and find that life is so amazing and I am wasting it due to the fact I want to be further along that I am. How many people have I talked to that are living the lives they want to live that said the moment they enjoyed where they were their lives just opened up. Yet I am so driven that I just keep pushing myself to be more.

Nature does its best each day and then enjoys the view. Just ask the orchard in our kitchen. I can want it to open it blooms NOW but only it knows the perfect time to do so. Does it stop the miracle or the beauty of the other blooms? Not at all. Yesterday I had the honor of being in a Reiki circle with the most amazing group of people. It was one of those moments. I have been dreaming of for years. I had a choice I could spend all my time wishing I am further along and being unhappy about who was missing or sit in the midst of this amazing miracles just taking it in. I chose to be still and watch as each bloom opened and shared it magnificence.

I totally could have missed that being focused on something else. When I follow the call of my heart, do my work, I experience miraculous rainbow expressions each and every day. Take a moment and look at where your perspective is.

I love you,
