Some days, I wake up knowing exactly what I want to blog about and some days… I’m totally blank. Today, I’ve been blank.
I have a list of topics that I enjoy writing about that I go to when I need ideas, but even after looking at my list… I’m just a big BLANK.
Usually, I would just write or try to, which often leads me to go days/weeks/months without writing and I hate that. I want to write a little something everyday. It’s like therapy for me, it clears my head and sometimes my heart. When I don’t… well, I get to feeling antsy. I don’t know why but I do.
Today, instead of writing, I’ve been reading about some new to me… topics. I’m really bad about getting really into a topic and then, like the dog from UP, I’m like squirrel!! And I move on to something new without ever finishing learning about that other topic! It drives me crazy. I want to learn about everything and there never seems to be enough time!
But they really are all similar… mostly spirituality related. Different forms of spirituality and ways of connecting with God, Spirit, the Universe… through nature, prayer, movement, energy work, music, meditation, writing, cooking, working with plants and herbs or oils or looking at the stars and the moon or… there are so many ways and no one way is the perfect one or the right one. They are all completely acceptable! Maybe only one calls to you or maybe they all do and more! Or somewhere in between.
I know… for some, a few of these might scare you, they may feel… wrong to you… that’s okay! It may not be for you, but that doesn’t mean it’s not right for someone else. Or that it might not be right for you later at a different time in your life.
I love that we are all different and the same. I love how we each get to have this personal spiritual life.
I’ve always been curious and eager to learn new and different ways of connecting with my faith, of growing spiritually, of opening to hear the voice of God. To learn to follow more closely the path of Love and Light, The Way. Sometimes I feel so connected and others completely disconnected.
I think we all ebb and flow like the tide in our faith… or maybe not… maybe it’s just me, but I bet it’s not. No matter, because we are all on our own path, our own journey doing the best we can.
So… all that to say, as I was reading today, I saw in different places different phrases that talked about dimming our light, or NOT dimming our light. About being true to yourself and your beliefs and who you are. Your light is needed in this world. “Embrace the unique light that you came here to share..” “It is time to give permission and space for what is beckoning within to be born.”
The last few months, maybe even years, I think I’ve let my light dim, sometimes purposely, sometimes not. Sometimes, I’m afraid of how my light will be received so I just keep it to myself, but I know deep down that that is NOT the way we were created… to keep our light to our self. So… here’s to removing my bushel and letting my light shine! If it’s too bright for you, just put on some sunglasses, or look the other way. It will be okay. I promise.
Until next time ♥️ …
