Dear Friends,
As I write these words, the mountains of North
Carolina are lush with infinite shades of green while being silhouetted against
the backdrop of a gentle blue sky. Through observing them, I also become aware
of a variety of energetic bird songs which I wish that I knew much more about.
In thinking this, I am reminded of my admiration for those around me, and many others,
who are able to not only recognize their species from simply hearing them sing but
also interpret their language as well.
These gifted souls, who can hear this ‘bird-speak’,
are able to eavesdrop on their communications. Some even know if they are
telling us rain is on the way or that it’s mating season or if there are any
threats in the area. Birds and animals have the ability to discern the natural
order of things while appreciating that there is an order to the entire world; just
as there is an order to the Universe.
You will notice that I use the word ‘order’,
rather than predictability. There is an order to our lives as well, even though
they are not always predictable. These days, many of you I’m sure would be more
inclined to apply the word ‘unpredictable’ to your experiences. I hear from so
many of you who are having to cope with unexpected challenges, whether it be in
family relationships or change in career or health. Things are definitely
unpredictable and many of us cling to the raft of life as it gets tossed about
in strong currents. We may try to paddle or steer, but sooner or later we learn
that it is best to let the current take hold and see where we land.
It sounds scary, but like my mountain neighbors,
we too can learn to read the signs and omens. The Universe speaks to us very
clearly. I find this again and again as I see clients in stress. Signs and
omens are there all along but factors prevent those signs from being accurately
read. The first factor is that many do not believe that they are worthy of
being given signs. Somewhere in their past they have picked up the idea of
unworthiness. They believe that the Universe just dropped them into a set of seemingly
impossible circumstances and then just left them to fend for themselves; this
same Universe that communicates with its tiniest creatures. When you think
about it that way, it doesn't make sense.
The second factor is that their own ego or
intellect has decided ahead of time what ‘should be’ and so it does not listen
to the signs, no matter how often they are repeated or how strongly they are
communicated. Each one of you has incarnated upon this earth in this life at
this time for a purpose. Many are out of touch with what that purpose is. I
can't tell you how many of my clients ask me to tell them what their purpose
is. But the truth is that your purpose is a life long journey of discovery, and
it starts with consciously developing an intimate knowledge of yourself.
The first step of knowing yourself is asking your
heart what makes you happy and then listening to it. Your journey this life
time can be divided up into one of two things. You are either searching for
your purpose in life, or you are fulfilling your purpose. The other thing I
should tell you is that while your purpose often becomes your occupation, it
doesn't necessarily start out that way. So don't associate your purpose with a
job.
HOW DO I
KNOW IF I AM FULFILLING MY PURPOSE
1. It
is always in the present moment. It will not be found in the future, such as
when I get rich I will open a shelter for the homeless. It is not something
that you must train for, although once you begin it you may opt for more
training.
2. If
you have found it you will do it regardless of compensation. The activity
itself will bring you such joy and happiness that you won't care if you make
money at it. Of course when you let go of wanting something it often comes to
you freely, so many people do make money fulfilling their purpose, but you must
love it so much that you would do it whether there was money attached or not
3. You
will lose track of time and troubles. The activity will absorb your attention
so much that it becomes like a meditation and you lose track of time going by
and you forget any troubles in the world that you may have. Your happiness is
in the moment.
4. Your
health will improve. Stress is at the root of many of our health problems. When
stress disappears from our lives, so does illness.
If you want some hints as to what your purpose is,
then here are some questions for you to ask yourself. I would suggest that you
print this out and make a few copies. You may find that after you have
meditated on your answers, you may want to answer differently.
QUESTIONS
TO DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE
1. What
do I read about or watch on television?
2. If
I could get a front row seat to hear a speaker on any subject, who would I
listen to and what would the subject matter be?
3. What
do I do for fun?
4. What
have others told me I'm good at?
5. What
areas do I feel confident in?
6. What
do I wish I had an opportunity to learn more about or to experience?
7. If
I had all the money in the world and all the time in the world and knew that I
wouldn’t fail at it, what would I do?
You were born into this life for a purpose. You
discussed what you wanted to get out of this life with a team of loving beings.
You came with the help of an angel who was assigned just to you, to guard you
and to protect you and to light your way to find your Highest Good.
We are in the midst of an Age Change. Many of you
were disappointed because the Mayan predictions were misinterpreted by many.
But make no mistake, there was an energy shift at that time and you are living
with the results of that shift whether you acknowledge it or not. One of the
consequences is change and that includes you.
It is no longer possible just to drift along in a
state of unconsciousness. Every major event in your life is here to teach you
something and every part of your life that disturbs you is a lesson. You can
choose to see yourself as a victim as long as you appreciate that is indeed a
choice. Certainly many have a history which makes that choice more than
understandable. However; I have seen so many of my clients turn their lives
around and achieve their happiness that I urge you to embrace your power. Learn
to read the signs of your life. Make the course adjustments that you need to
make and fulfill your destiny.
Remember, whenever you are facing your challenges,
you never have to face them alone. Help is as close as your phone. I'm here to
help you make sense of it all and to encourage you on your journey to express
your highest good.
With love and light as always
Mary
NEVER FORGET HOW TRULY SPECIAL YOU ARE - YOU ARE
UNIQUE - YOU ARE WONDERFUL - YOU ARE PERFECT JUST AS YOU ARE AND YOU ARE
POWERFUL
