Life

What is the meaning of life? I think it's safe to say no one has an exact answer for this. But, we all still ponder over this question nonetheless. Knowing that life has a meaning for each of us, a purpose causes me to wonder about certain things. For example.....those certain songs or movies that create extreme emotion from an unknown place. Why is there such a connection when they don't necessarily pertain to your life or anything you've experienced?

We are all here for a purpose, right? I'll answer myself, "Yes, that's right." I am currently searching for my purpose. No, I'm waiting for my purpose to be shown to me. I know many different avenues have been placed before me, but I have to wonder.....how many of these avenues must I travel on, only to find out, this isn't the path?

I'm not the best with patience and I do like instant gratification. Perhaps that's my lesson here. To learn patience and know that, just because it's not instant, doesn't mean there won't be gratification. I notice myself surrounded now by many that have found their paths. I envy them for knowing who they are and what they are to do in this lifetime. I understand my answers will come. I just need to keep my requests and gratitudes going on a steady basis.

Wow! Did it just hit me?? I paused from typing to take a bite of soup and?........
This whole time I've been feeling as though I should be in school, studying something. Yet, I'm not, so I shamefully admit that I spend a lot of time on the internet (FB, Pogo, etc.). Yet, I look around me and I have multiple books that I haven't even touched yet! The classroom is sitting right here in front of my face!!! If I was in school, I would spend less time on the internet, because I would be studying or doing homework. DUH! Spend less time on the internet NOW, because I have plenty to learn at my fingertips as I speak!

And one reason for starting this blog has just surfaced.

I Am Me

What does that mean? I'm figuring it all out. But, I do know that I am going to be me, regardless of what others think about it. If I was meant to live my life for others, I wouldn't be where I am now.

Will everyone agree with my life choices and decisions? Probably not.

Will I meet opposition? Absolutely.

Will it stop me or hold me down? NO!!

I am moving into a different place in my life. It's been a long time coming, and I am happy and thankful that I've finally allowed it to happen. The negativity that was such an abundant part of my life, is no longer. I won't allow it. Of course we all have our bad days, but for it to consume my life the way it used to just isn't an option. Not everyone will understand, agree, or even be supportive. And? I am OK with that. Those who are important and matter will love me and accept me, no matter what.

Life has a plan for us all. A plan that we laid out for ourselves, before we were even born. My plan is starting to come to fruition. What exactly does that mean for me? That answer, I don't exactly know, but I do know this.........There will always be room on my magic carpet or a place on the back of my broom for anyone who wants to enjoy this wonderful ride with me!

I'm 'A' Sensitive, and I'd Like to Stay That Way

I've had this title in my head for days now, searching for the right place to put it. And? I found it!! For any Jewel fans, this is a play on her song I'm Sensitive. It's one of my favorite songs by her, and quite fitting for how I've been feeling lately. I AM a sensitive, and I DO want to stay that way. Of course, I know that isn't going to change, but I don't want to deal with the harsh skepticism from others that aren't as accepting of the gifts I've been given. Day by day I realize more and more. New doors are opened, new opportunities are realized. And, most recently, new abilities are presented. Medium. Who'd a thunk it? I'm going to sit down one of these days and actually write out all of the different ways my gift has manifested. It's a very wonderful, powerful thing and each day I'm learning more on how to handle it. Right now, my main concern is being a sensitive and not letting anyone ruin my spirit.
