It doesn't matter if anyone else sees it the way you do. It doesn't matter if nobody gets it or hears you or trusts you to know your own truth. It will not match anything in the prevailing paradigm and it requires no more than showing up and doing, yes, the next indicated thing. Well, that and tuning out everything that doesn't support IT.
We each have a calling, a mission. It may be the funkiest, most bizarre and unlikely assignment ever conceived and all we want to do is list the reasons why we're sure there's been a mistake. There is no mistake. No one dialed the wrong number. Yes, it's you and yes, it's now. Grab it up, your heart filled with doubt. Think - quietly - of everything that seems small and foolish and unimportant about the task you've just been handed and remember, in listening to our own precious truths, there is nothing, ever, that is small or foolish or unimportant. Go on with your bad and sacred and authentic self and do it. Tom Petty agrees.

Every time I read your posts, I want to shout, "YES!"
Elizabeth - Let's just scream it together. Thank you. xo
I only wish I was enough evolved to not need another to understand or get me and simply follow my truth. I go with my self regardless but it sure is nice to know another understands.
Rubye - There is great comfort, companionship in knowing someone else either gets it or trusts your knowing enough not to question it. Not having to explain can sometimes be enough. xo
Sharing this one on FB . . . xx P
Penelope - Thank you for that. xo
I'm living more in the moment, hooray, so I guess that's my mission. Be present, watch my reactivity, spread kindness, lord knows the world needs as much as it can get.
Beth - Being present is no assignment for the faint-hearted. If that were the case, everyone would be doing it. As for not reacting AND spreading kindness, it becomes around-the-clock work. Oh, and midwifing (is it okay to use it as a verb?) Now there's a mission. xo
