Trust the Flow

Last year my life changed.

My marriage of over 15 years had just ended and I was starting over.

I was heartbroken and devastated.

I was lost.

My quiet practice, more than ever, became my sanctuary, my anchor, my grounding.

By finding time for silence every day, I knew in my heart there was a gift I had yet to see.

Day by day, week by week and month by month, it got clearer.

When life as I knew it was gone, I was forced, once and for all, to trust.

To trust the flow of life instead of working so hard to be in control of it all.

I surrendered for the first time in my life.

My mind started to let go.

My body started to soften.

My breath started to slow down.

I was no longer in control.

I opened myself up to receive.

My mind.

My body.

My heart.

That was the gift.

Over a year later, my life is drastically different.

My trust in the flow of life has been validated.

The relationships, circumstances, opportunities and experiences that are in perfect alignment with who I am today have all beautifully flowed into my life without much effort.

It has been magic.

I am in the flow and it just keeps getting better.

I approach the end of this year with so much gratitude in my heart for all that life has given me this past year.

But most of all I’m grateful for the gift of trust.

Trusting that Life does look out for us and is so ready and willing to give us all that we ask for.

All we have to do is free fall backwards to discover that there’s always an invisible net to catch us.
