Well, I had something else to write about today that came to me in the shower this morning and for some reason it left. I guess this is what I am called to share today. It is about experiencing things and people in our life that come in and out like an out-of-control storm. We never seem to be expecting the current of the storm that blows in with a vicious turbulence in our life. It comes with no warning and sometimes we are in a physical and emotional state where we can ward it off or move through it and come out in one piece. Other times it is so over whelming and determined to upset the balance and harmony of our life, that we either get swallowed up by it, or we “Swallow the Storm” and carry the pain and discomfort of the experience. We just can’t do that to ourselves! We deserve better! We must not internalize these experiences that pass through us as something we are supposes to engulf and absorb. We must be mindful that after the storm we can create our own rainbow. We can turn on our light right in the midst of the storm and dispel the darkness and turbulence that the storm tries to wield at us.

We must know our own power and worth in all the things that transpire in our life. As my Mom use to say, “Sometimes you have to take things and situations like a grain of salt”. Well, we all know that a grain of salt is insignificant, so we must decide if what is coming at us is significant enough to capture our attention and energy. We can’t allow people who we know from their routine behavior of “bringing in the drama”, to constantly rock our boat until the storm capsizes us and we get swallowed up or drown in the depths of the waves that sweep the currents over our life. We don’t need the “drama”.

We don’t thrive on drama! We want to be “drama free”! We are busy being invested in the beauty and good things that are happening in our life. There will always be unavoidable storms that come our way that we will have to attend to, because that’s “Life”. What we don’t want is to take on events, people, and situations, that prevent us from the fulness of our life. We have a birthright to be happy and at peace. We have a birth right to be in harmony with the beauty and richness of our soul’s expression. We don’t have to “Wade in the waters” and loose sight of the blessings we have in our life!

Simply said- “We are too blessed to be stressed”!

Set the intention- “I am not going to let anyone rain on the parade of my life or cast shadows on the light of my soul”!
Ashe!
