I have been hiding. No blogs for six weeks, not calling friends, not posting on groups or boards. I could tell a story about being busy (which I have been, but not all the time). I could write about being overwhelmed, which I used to feel a lot but not so much anymore. I could go on about all the demands on my time, the various responsibilities in different areas of my life, which are fact and we all have them.
The down to the bone, honest to God truth is that I have been scared. Not scared to do but scared to be. It is getting to the point where I KNOW what I am here on the planet to do and I am scared to do it. It feels too big. It is easier to be small and hide than to fully step into the work I know is mine to do.
What is it that you are here to do? Why are YOU HERE NOW? What is it that only you can give the world? How many people do you know that live each day fully present to bringing their gift forward for the good of all? Can you take a moment to imagine what this world would look like if WE ALL lived our gifts, living as the unique expression of the divine we truly are?
What can you do today to step, if only for a moment, into your magnificence? How can you share your gift with the world today?
My step is telling the truth about my fear. I did not have to get rid of the fear before I wrote. I can coexist with the discomfort of not knowing what everything will look like. I am fine now; I will be fine in the next moment, and the moment after.
Shine your light.
And so it is. Karen
