Greetings. Today is a new day filled with opportunities to write upon the canvas of life! What we write or paint can only be found within the inner recesses of the mind, heart and soul. At times there is confusion and at other moments we find ourselves in complete clarity of what we are expressing.

For months, if not longer, many of us have been on a very fast track in life. Energies all around us are escalating. The energy on the Earth is in an extreme movement pattern. What used to work no longer applies in our lives and if we want to move forward it is a matter of releasing and letting go of old habits and thought beliefs.

Trusting and surrendering can be a scary prospect because it means having faith. Taking a leap into the void can indeed be a challenge.
When something happens in our lives and we are asked to step out in faith what happens internally? Are we in fear or trust? Do we allow our fears to prevent us from taking that leap or do we trust in a power greater than ourselves? Do we run the risk of not moving forward because of our "hang-ups"; therefore staying entrapped within the rut of old patterns?

Of course, looking at what is familiar, even a rut, can be appealing and very stagnating at the same time. We can look at any opportunity in life and find a silver lining or a dark cloud. We can over-analyze a situation and lose sight of what is before us or we can take the risk and jump into the arena of life.

Moving beyond fear is most definitely a choice - it's the two-sided coin. One side is trust, one is fear and depending on how you toss the coin will depend on what side you find yourself.

If you were asked to step into the void of the unknown - would you? No questions asked? How strong do you believe in your own inner wisdom and the benevolence of Spirit? No one can answer these questions but yourself. When all is said and done, the most important confirmation is what you believe to be true. Life is a gamble, are we willing to take a chance on ourselves and our beliefs?

Have a great July, 2001 - Take Care
