After
a function last evening, I sat in my friend’s car venting my anger. I was in the midst of playing the blame game
towards the facilitator of the event we had just attended. After about a minute or so, it occurred to me
to take a different stance. I raised my
hands in the air and enthusiastically cheered for myself as I said, “I am now done and I am filled with
gratitude for this man’s behavior!” For
it was he who placed another piece in my life’s puzzle showing me that as this one
door closed, I was making room for another door that matched my current
vibration to open up at the perfect time.
I couldn’t have been more thrilled.
So
often, we have a tendency to have a pity party with ourselves. We harp over the past, sometimes even the
distant past as though it were here in this moment of now. When we do that, we never create change. We simply sit reliving painful experiences as
though drawing them up once again will make us feel better. Allow me to offer a word to the wise, it
never does.
I
have said it before and I will say it again, it is never my intention to claim
that we must bury our feelings.
What I do promote instead is that we deal with each new emotion as they come up. Be genuine with where you are in the present. Then let it go. With each passing situation we have an opportunity
to learn and grow—and that my friends, is a good thing!
In
my case, I had been attending a weekly event that never really suited me. I wasn’t aligned with how the facilitator was
running the show, but I continued making an appearance since I was new in town
and I wanted to network to meet new friends.
Thankfully, I have met an array of wonderful people due to this event and for
that I am grateful.
Yet, in spite of the fact that the Universe had been showing me increasingly larger signs each week that it was time for me to move on, I took note of what I needed to, but continued attending. However, last night the signs practically screamed at me to take notice—one after the other after the other. They could no longer be ignored. There were simply too many.

So
after finishing my tirade, I had been set free.
I no longer felt the need to return.
My journey here was complete and I was prancing on Cloud 9. Perhaps now I was making room in my energetic
space for a physical space to show up so that I can offer these events in my
own way. I was able to share space in
Paris and now I am feeling called that it is time to do the same here.
After all, there is enough room for everyone to have their own style and if one way
is not aligned with me, I can construct my own.
That’s simply how life works.
Remember,
we create whatever reality we choose—the good, the bad and the ugly. There is no need to spend time hanging on to
what no longer serves us. When we
procrastinate, we will simply be presented with an endless parade of
uncomfortableness until we stand on our own two feet and make a change. So, that is what I promise to do—to bring to
Light the best possible version of me that I can.
Thank
you for reading and Namaste! (The Light in me recognizes the Light in you!)
