A Blessing Candle for You

Today felt hard as I sat down to write you.  I've been in the process of deep release work also known as clearing out boxes of stuff we no longer need, want or love.  It never ceases to amuse me how these kinds of clearings ripple out into the rest of my life.  Now here I am still saying "ugh!" just when I thought I'd developed a good rhythm of writing.  My goal of sharing my stories while in the process is really taking me to task right now.  So I sit and wait, writing a few sentences here and there but nothing coherent comes out.  

I sort through some of the pictures I took earlier this summer when I went to Natural Bridge Caverns while in Texas.  It's a natural cavern extending 180 feet below the surface above and feels like a real life journey to the underworld.  While there I remember being struck by how much beauty I was able to see with the placement of a little light.

I decide to close my eyes and shine a light on my inner world allowing my fingers to move across the keyboard in a direct connection to my essence expression...the me who already knows what needs to be said today.  

I breath in and out waiting with anticipation of that me showing up

"Allow yourself to be really present in this moment." she tells me.
I feel my feet against the carpet as I scrunch my toes into it.  

Breath in and out
My fingers start to move.

"Yes," she says, "open to receive another lesson from your past self the one that was fully there.  Swish it around and let it fill you up.  You'll know what your next action needs to be."  

I go with it, surrendering to whatever is coming not daring to squint at the words for fear of loosing the is connection.  When my fingers finally slowed  and I opened my eyes a blessing was there.  


As you read these words breath in the love that surrounds you and let it help 
you to shine your light
Allow this pause to serve as a reminder that your warmth, your passion, and your kind 
of creativity is needed and valued.
May this light be a source beacon to replenish your own light and let your radiance shine
There are riches found deep within you May this light guide your way 
When things look darkest and hardship sound you may this light connect you to the you that's 
brilliant at finding a solution.
May this light remind you of the divine spark that makes you unique in all the world. 
May this light stir your blood and move you to take action to lift someone else up so that you become the beacon of replenishment for someone to keep moving on their journey.  

Now I do know what my next action needs to be, sharing it with you in with the hope that where ever this finds you it will serve as a guidepost to help you keep going.  

Live Intentionally,
Dionne
