"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-- Anais Nin

Can you feel the excitement?! The buzz of energies, a sense that what you have been waiting for is indeed possible?! Or perhaps you are feeling an uncertainty as you face a blank canvas knowing that it is indeed your time to fill it. Are you feeling that you almost cannot deny the call to respond? As written above, that it's almost becoming too painful to wait any longer? Or maybe you are feeling dead in the water knowing that the old way no longer fits.

I've walked this path and know what it's like to make the conscious decision to unfold and how challenging it can be. I've streamlined what I've learned so that others have an easier time, and this is why I now guide beautiful, amazing, passionate souls through this process.

Divine Timing

It is key that during these times you understand the difference between the patience involved in allowing something to manifest, aka "divine timing", versus waiting to step into what you sense is possible or into the embodiment of your Divine Loving Self.

Waiting to be who you are here to be is not the same as being patient. One is victim consciousness and a lack of action, the other is acknowledging that all is in divine order. Hear this again - hoping that your feeling doubtful or fearful of living authentically will one day dissolve is not patience. It's just waiting.

You experience how it can be challenging to pick up senses about things to come such as the endings of relationships, beginnings, possibilities, moves, creative ideas, etc. You have this sense but are not sure as to the timing. So you wait and delay stepping into the power of the now opportunity.

Ways we wait

We do this on several levels. On an external level, we wait to move forward on practical matters because we know that change is coming. Perhaps you ignore a job opportunity or new relationship because you sense an upcoming change and don't understand how these new opportunities will fit into the change you sense.

This also occurs at an internal level. You wait to be less afraid, to be more loving, to speak up, to treat your body with respect until you arrive at your new destination whether this new destination is energetic (e.g. you release blame or guilt) or physical (e.g. you move to Georgia). Or you continue to act defensive and closed down with people around you who cause you stress because you know that one day you will get a new job, new spouse, move away from your family or those neighbors or that group of friends and all will be well in this new land.

In other words, you are waiting for something outside of yourself to make it easier for you to be you. When really, you sense that right now you would rather laugh more, act softer, more nurturing, take a risk, let go of old regrets. And instead of just being or doing those things, you wait until others change, until you feel validated and safe. All the while not owning that the place of safety and validation is completely within yourself.

What happens is that you wait for your future to begin. You wait to arrive in Oz and then you will have courage and then you will know how to live from your heart space and then you will be at home and then you will be able to think clearly and paint like the wild artist you always knew you were. And what happens is that it takes much longer to arrive in OZ than you ever thought. And you begin to realize that you are exhausted, irritable, uninspired and you believe this is due to not being in OZ. Rather . . . it's because you have decided to wait to be who you are divinely coded to be.

What are you waiting for?

Who or what are you waiting to be? Why are you waiting and what are you waiting for? Stop waiting and click those red heels. You do not need to "get" a new life to experience a healthy body, to be calmer, to be more loving, to step into your passion, to master your energy. You do these things, embody these things and thus create a new life.

If you want to get along better with that co-worker, don't wait for him/her to change. BE who you want to be with them. If they reject you, you will not die! And if you are afraid you will shrivel up, then that is your indicator that you are waiting for something outside of you to change. Claim the freedom and expansion you will experience as you live from your truth and your integrity in that moment. Do this over and over and perhaps that person will change and perhaps not. But YOU WILL.

This planet needs as many of us to be in our power, to claim our Divine Heart Based Self. Please be the inspiration in someone's life today and use your magical eyes to see other beautiful souls who are wanting to blossom!

Seeing you in your Joy ~
