Asking

Every evening I turn my worries over to God.

He's going to be up all night anyway.

~Mary C. Crowley

Asking
Sometimes you need a little help in life.  You need more of a direction, especially if you seem to be at a crossroads.  You have choices laid out before you but you get stuck in the choosing which way to go.  This is the time when you need to ask for some support and guidance.  It's great to get input from friends and family, but I'm talking about spiritual guidance.  When your contemplating something that will have a significant effect on your life, ask God, the universe, your angels, or whatever entity you garner strength and energy from, for help.  Ask them to guide you, to make clear the best path for you to take.  Get ready because you will be answered!  It might not be right away or the answer may not be the one you were hoping for but you will be given guidance.  Just make sure you don't miss the message in the translation.  Maybe it will come in a repetitious song that keeps playing, maybe you will get an overwhelming feeling in your gut, or maybe your dreams will reveal something to you.  Either way, be open to the guidance from your higher source.  Sometimes the best thing we can do, and usually the last thing we think of, is to ask for help!

Wounds

Turn your wounds into wisdom.

~Oprah Winfrey

Wounds
We all have been hurt and betrayed in our past. We have been wounded; sometimes several times over and by the same person. Our wounds run deep and the scars are prominent. Some of us wear our wounds like a badge saying "stay away" or we hide our wounds so that others can't truly see the depth of our pain. Either way, we usually pick at these wounds enough just to keep them from healing completely. We are so afraid that if we let them heal, we will no longer know who we are. We get so used to carrying around the past and the pain that we can't separate our scars from our soul. Who are we without them?  Or the bigger question is why are you letting these wounds define who you are? 


Wounds are meant to be healed. They are not supposed to keep hurting us forever.  Wounds are meant to remind us of how far we've come from the challenges of our past. Wounds are not meant to keep us stifled but to give us the power and the wisdom to walk in our truth and be a better human being. Take a look at your soul. See what wounds you have been keeping open and start dressing them with the band aid called love. For the first time in a long time, let them heal. Stop being one of the walking wounded souls just existing here. Be your authentic complete self, whose scars are faint yet whose wisdom is overflowing.

Starting Over

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, 

anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Starting Over
Today is another day to get it right.  It's a brand new day to start over.  The past is the past so leave it there. Don't turn back, don't even hesitate.  It's time to leap forward, not walk.  Walking is so overrated sometimes and maybe just maybe, sometimes you need to run.  You just may even do some cartwheels!  Which ever way you choose, it's the kind of day that you welcome like looking at a blank canvas.  You can create anything you choose.  Today is that day for you.  Embrace the clean slate, take a deep breathe, let it out and go!
