Why is it in a single moment, things can shift and move you into a different reality or way of thinking? Like I’m talking HUGE shifts, ones that you move on from and realize that you are completely different, you can no longer walk the path you were walking before, it’s not in you to do this.

These moments can be so fleeting, yet so powerful. Lately I have experienced that twice in the last six or so months. My first moment was a few months ago when I was laying and bed, relaxing before going to sleep. And it hit me like such a lighting bolt, that I can no longer play small anymore. I’ve been doing this for most of my life, not really living up to my potential as I have always known I could do much more, that I am capable of doing more. I know this in my heart and in gut. It was like a commitment to myself that from here on out, there was no more playing small, no more hiding behind something as an excuse. After that I felt like I had huge leaps in growth, but of course life happens and there was also set backs as there always will be. But still I have to take that pride in the large leaps of growth.

The second shift was just about a week ago, when I was relaxing and I felt like it was a huge shift. I felt like I was everything and I was nothing at the same time. Feeling connected to everything on this beautiful earth and in a zone like state where I felt disconnected as well. It was such a strange feeling and I really felt disconnected from my body so I could experience everything and nothing and they are both beautiful things. We lose the beauty in life, we lose that focus of how everything small thing can hold so much beauty if you just stop and look and pay attention to what is around you. Nature holds so much beauty and really can teach you so many things, if you just slow down and perceive, take it all in.

Over the last few years I’ve really grown more connected to nature and all of the signs it give us. Like the other day, I noticed that the barn cats are starting to get their winter coats, a sign that fall is coming up quickly. The trees have starting in what I like to call their highlights, where just the tips of the leaves on some branches are starting to turn color. The weather is starting to change from the warmth to cooler nights and mornings, a sure sign that we are shifting into fall. A season where we can start slowing down from the bustle of summer and start to unwind into fall before we go into the rest phase of winter. Fall truly is a wonderful season to let go of things, and to sit back are reap in your harvest of rewards. Another shift in perception.

As always, love and positive vibes and don’t forget to live from your soul.
