I just had to share this.
I picked up the paper this morning, since we are off school I have a pretty relaxed morning with Diana here. I read several sections before picking up the Daily Break. I really like celebrity news and there was an article about Lance Armstrong and his hopes to go to Washington with a new administration to get assistance with his anti-cancer message. Good stuff. I read the article and felt "Wow, now he is making a difference." I glanced over to the right and saw the names of two very powerful women in entertainment who share a birthday today, Dolly Parton and Paula Deen. I was about to put the section away and grab the career connection section, just for fun. I noticed the horoscopes. Ran down the signs to Sagittarius, curious what random jumbled up mess was written in code to the people to decipher what to do that day when I read it as clear as day. My message on what I need to do. Not just today either.
Here is what my horoscope in the newspaper said...
Writing for pleasure proves to be exceptionally cathartic for you. And who knows, perhaps in the process, you might even work out an old issue or two and find a way to make some money.
Guess what else. It gets better. I am only supposed to get newspapers on Wednesday and Sunday. Strange.....
Guess I will be doing some writing today. How can I not???

Christina, this is such a beautiful and powerful part of you and I love that you have shared it with me. Follow your heart. Write. Write about your adventure into finding yourself, write about your life, about your dreams, just do it.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, you've been "tagged" by the universe because you hear this small whisper calling you to do more, so now you have to answer it, and what an exciting journey I know it will be. I've heard that whisper too and am afraid.
This happening in your life reminds me of two things... (1) in JRR Tolkien's writing, one character says to another, "It's a dangerous business, stepping out your front door. You never know where'll you'll be swept off to" - well I can't wait to see where you go! The second thing it reminds me of is part of a speech given by Nelson Mandela, where he quotes Marianne Williamson and says: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
So Christina, step out of your front door, get swept away to find your internal light, and then share it with the rest of us, so that we all too know that we have a light, an adventure, and a life that is calling to us softly to come explore.
Always, Annie
