The energy rushed through me this morning:  I am ready to GROW where I have never been before!  I have no idea what this means and the miracle of my life is I don’t have to know.  I live open.   And I am grateful for this freedom as there is no need to spin in my head scenarios of doom and gloom that produce fear over what growing means or projecting ideas of the pain from the past I experienced in times of growth.  I am here in this life, in this moment to grow of this I am absolutely certain.  We all are.  Life by its very definition speaks to this:  The quality that distinguishes dead organisms from living organism.  We don’t stop growing until we are dead.  Alive – Here we grow! again and again and again.   We are ushered into more of our Self, into more life, into the Great Unknown dancing wildly and passionately in fields yet to be experienced and explored as amazing grace breaks us free from the ruts, the staleness, the comfort zones that wither us – that leave us feeling dead while life still pulses through us.

This moment, this day, I welcome all that comes ready to GROW where I have never been before discovering new wings pushing me through the cage door once again, taking me where I didn’t know I could go, beyond the limitations.   These wings growing even more magnificent made of love, of hope, of trust, of faith, of certainty carrying me home to the miracle I am, you are and all life is.  Grounded in the Spirit ever-free, here I GROW being led exactly where I need to be breath by breath.  Right here and right now is everything!  This is my life.

The invitation this day and this lifetime is to ground in the power of each moment – infinity at play rushing through you reminding you that you are here on this journey for an adventure that is anything but predictable.  We plan.  We set goals.  We dream.  Life unfolds.  Life orchestrates perfectly in moments that crush us and moments that lift us.  Present to your life, you consciously participate in the growth that never ceases.  HERE you GROW flowing, opening, evolving, discovering more of you and more of life ready to be experienced, tasted and savored.  Let go of worry, doubt and fear attached to growing into the unknown and let the Love you are lead you into the great surprises of life that leave you celebrating all of your days come what may – dancing free beyond conditions and fixed ideas.

YOU Touched

With

Your BIGness!
 

Oh, this Big life!  What a ride.  Life is so damn big and knowing this, sipping in this Truth as we climb out of bed, as we enter the day, as we do what we do is everything.  Our perception is indeed reality.  Seeing the bigness of moments that once seemed so ordinary, we live with a heightened sense of Self, of others and of all creation.  Taking inventory of this Big life, we come to see the enormity of this gift hidden in a million small ways that we often overlook, dismiss or fail to recognize; and appreciating life from the depths of us, it appreciates all day.  Our openness allows us to see what is.  This life is always big ever-flowing, ever-expanding, ever-growing as long as breath pulses through our bodies into the whole of this world and beyond.

We measure the bigness of life from referencing the external, comparing our life against the life of others which can leave us feeling small.  But journeying within is essential, understanding that our love makes life big, living a life we love fiercely, we live the bigness moment by moment.  Fully connected, the ordinary becomes extraordinary as we are engaged, plugged in, enlivened breath by magic breath.  Vitality springs!  Knowing you get to choose, right here and right now, Why not live a BIG life? Claim your big life, grab ahold and ride these waves of grace ever-freeing, ever-revealing more and more and more.  This big life may include fame, notoriety and a big stage on which you live with all the big material possessions you could ever imagine; and if this is what you desire, go for it – have fun creating this bigness savoring and enjoying every step along the way; and once you arrive, let your joy, your fun, your love be the barometer.  But make no mistake, this Big life already exists.  You are standing in it.  You are infinite.  You are the grace of the universe in human form. 

The invitation this day is to own the gift of this Big life that is yours, that is mine.  Pause, take a deep breath welcoming this big life, feeling it pulse through your body, mind, heart and soul.  Free your mind of doubt and worry, comforting your Self with words:  I am big.  This life is big.  This is BIG SHIT! Hahaha!  Connect to your heart that remembers the bigness of this life and smile from the inside out feeling the warmth of the truth wash through you.  Touch the depths of you at the level of soul that knows the bigness you are.  Embody this Big life planting both feet on the ground with your heart raised to the heavens, straddling this world and beyond, living your life, blooming bigger and bigger as you see your Self, meeting more of your Self again and again and again.  Journey this Big life for the love of living it, for the love of being you for there will never be another day just like this one and there will never be another human being just like you.
