Welcoming The Rhythm

Today is one of those glorious days where everything happens just "right." We awoke this morning to discover our lawn filled with fresh-fallen snow. I shortened my morning "getting ready" routine to make time for playing in the snow with my husband and son.

Then it was off to teach meditation. Due to the weather, only one person showed, someone with whom I've been yearning to catch up with for a while. We skipped meditating for wonderful conversation, swapping advice and insight on important life issues. In fact, as so often happens, I got just the guidance I needed just when I needed it!

Then I had the honor of giving Reiki to a client. As so often happens, the advice she came out of the session with for herself inspired me as well--"You Define You" and "The more you believe in the You you are seeking to create, the more you will be that person, AND the more others will treat you that way too!"

Sometimes I find I don't follow the cues in my path. I resist the flow of energy leading me from one place to the next in life. I think I know a better way. I am now ready to let go of resisting the gifts and guidance that so often seem to flow intuitively and miraculously into my life, as if from above, and welcome them with open arms.

In celebration of this month's theme, at the same time, I am grateful for the gifts I gained when I have tried to control life's flow. These gifts included a feeling of comfort, safety or control (whether it was true or not)--things I have definitely needed at different times in my life.

Today I am also grateful today for new insights, the amazing people whose lives have touched my own, beautiful snowy paths to walk, new discoveries through the eyes of my child, the birthday of the man I love, and a burning in my heart that just won't "shush!"

What are you ready to let go of in your life? What gifts have you gained from the past? What are you grateful for? Ask yourself Today.
