Surround yourself with light and radiate...

I don’t think you can ever say the words Thank You enough. I am so grateful that I have such beautiful people in my life. It’s nearly impossible to have a bad day because of them...and God only knows I try! Interestingly enough, this abundance grows rapidly. I find a new soul appears or reappears daily, to make me smile, laugh, or feel loved and supported. I wake up each morning knowing that today will be great! No matter what! Even if there is a moment of challenge, I have such solid people in my life to reaffirm what is reality and get me back on track. However, I remember once, someone asking me a question that made me speechless and feeling so alone: "Who would be on my emergency contact list if I was ever in need?" I was stunned and could not answer...for I actually felt I had no one. Tears poured down my face. While working so hard on being independent, I had closed off and become so superficial. In my mind, I was strong and didn't want to ask for anything because I could do it all! I didn't share my feelings because it would make me appear weak and vulnerable. I was strong. How odd now, today, I realize how many contacts I have for that list. Hmmm. Why is that? Well, I'll tell you why. It’s because I opened. I opened and became honest and real. I allowed myself to be seen for all that I was and all that I wasn't. Such a weight had been lifted. I shifted remarkably. My light was free. Free to be. I felt happy… Deserving… Worthy. I was no longer imprisoned by the darkness of fear... unforgiving reasoning... judgment... or shame. As I awakened, I noticed so many familiar faces waiting for me; so happy to see me again. Cheering me on, lifting my heart and spirit to higher grounds. As I elevated, I met new faces and felt the inspiration from both new and old souls. It’s extraordinary. Every day I wake up and get to do what I love. I train with the hardest working athletes that inspire me to my core...then I get to teach beautiful souls the art of yoga and support the transformations in their practice. I am a mother and sometimes even a father,) a friend and more so, a light that exists with so many others that make this world a better place just by being me. I am not alone anymore. Nor was I ever. I am so proud and humbled with gratitude. I am honored to live and to love; to make mistakes and to grow. I am a part of a whole. A contribution of light that is so open I am able to be a vessel of light for others. It is my genuine truth that softens me and yet becomes this strength that is a force to be reckoned with at times. My wish for you is to find a moment today so you can remember your spirit and all that makes you hungry in life. Realize "Who is on your emergency contact list?". Close your eyes and breath into all that is... be grateful for the beautiful souls that greet you each day, take you by the hand and help you rise. Should you find yourself without that abundance like I did once before...check in with your heart. Have you closed it? Perhaps it’s time to open up...and enjoy all that is yours to receive...allow the genuine truth of your heart to be revealed... in doing so, you too will become part of the collective. This worlds needs you, many are waiting for you to take them to higher grounds! So...surround yourself with light and RADIATE! and...Exhale-
