Open Your Heart

I think that most people are wary of entering into a new relationship.  They worry about getting hurt.  They hold back.  They try not to reveal too much.  They are cautious. 

I am here to tell you this...you get out of it what you put into it.  If you hold back, if you are not your authentic self, if you are afraid of getting hurt and operate as such, then that is what you will receive out of it. 

I have had some devastating things happen in my past.  I have been betrayed in more than one way.  I have had my heart break almost completely...But you know what?  I will never let any of the past affect how I proceed in a new relationship once it is presented to me.  If I were to allow the negative and hurtful things from my past dictate how I would act in my future, well, then the past and those negative experiences would have control over me.  I will not allow anyone or anything from my past control how I act today. 

Once I have the chance to enter into something new.  I will enter into it fully with an open mind and an open heart.  I will hold nothing back.  By giving fully I will receive fully.  It is just that simple. 

It takes courage to love again, trust again, open up yourself.  I have that courage.  I will keep my eyes and heart wide open.  I will look into the distant sky with joy and anticipation. 

I will only peek back into my past to retain the lessons that I have learned.  The lessons learned will stay with me, but nothing else. 

I will charge into a new relationship with my torch of love and light held high.  It will guide me.  It will light the way.  As long as I follow my heart, I will do fine.  And the exciting part is not knowing exactly where it may take me.  That is part of the experience, the ride, the vast adventure! 

There are good things to come for all of us.  You just have to believe it!

Music

I find that when I listen to music, my whole day seems better.  I have always been a musical person.  I relate to music.  It touches my heart and inner spirit in a way like nothing else.  I read a quote once that said that music is how emotions sound.  What an accurate statement! 

If I allow myself the time to listen to music at work, everything really does go more smoothly.  I am kept at a place that I am happier and have a better perspective.  I also enjoy music in the mornings.  It puts a spring in my step.  I enjoy listening to music and dancing while I make things.  I sometimes say that I am making "dancing" chicken because I dance around the kitchen as I prepare it. 

Music makes the people come together.  Madonna's song is right.  Lol  It helps unify people.  It gives us a common thing to enjoy and embrace together.  It reminds us of joys and sorrows.  It has a way of weaving into our souls, like nothing else in this world.

Music makes my spirit soar.  It helps me fly.  It soothes me.  It comforts me.  It brings me joy, makes me smile.  It is the soundtrack for my life.

My angel guides always speak to me through music.  Sometimes it is a message from a song that speaks to me.  Other times it is the internal song that is playing in my head.  I will hear the music and the words that speak to a situation that I am going through in my life...just when I need to hear it. 

I wish you music.  I wish you joy.  I wish you love, love, love.

Seasons

I know that the seasons of nature reflect the seasons and changes in our lives. I never complain about the weather like some do. I know that I cannot change it, even when I am putting up a tent in a thunderstorm.

Yes, this summer got quite hot and humid. But I never complain. Summer is supposed to be hot. Soon fall will be on the way with cooler temperatures and then winter will hit us again. I think the same people that complain about the heat of the summer complain about the extreme cold of the winter. It's not good or bad, it just is.

My life has seasons and cycles as well. When I was in high school I remember students that would wish they were graduated. Wish that school was over. I never felt that way. I enjoyed high school. Even then I had a sense that I wanted to enjoy it for what it is, because I knew that after high school our lives would never be quite the same as we started up our next life chapter.

So, I am trying very hard to do that same thing now. I am concentrating on appreciating and enjoying my life to the fullest for what it is-right now. I don't want to rush through and wish away my now. Yes, I have an excitement about the future like never before, but I know that things will change when the time is right for them to change.
