As an 80’s girl, I love me sum Lionel Richie and can sing all of his songs word for word even when I haven’t sung them in years.  I was with friends who are amazing artists watching video clips of his nationally televised special that aired a couple of years ago.  They had just discovered Lionel when they flipped on the T.V. and could not stop watching him.  They were in awe of him and felt connected to his depth of honesty saying it like it was, his lovely energy oozing with playful generosity, his sense of Self and his effect on the artists who performed his songs – bringing out the best them and helping them go where they had never gone before.  Like Lionel, they are singers /songwriters – truly souls on fire bringing through pure passion that pours from them inspiring the world to celebrate life, to dare to claim the power of love and let it fuel your joy in living. 

Lionel is a mirror not just for them but for all of us reminding us that there is no thing that is more beautiful or transforming than a soul of fire.  Nothing outside of us can ignite this fire and awaken this vibration that springs from the depths of us. It doesn’t matter if we are living life on a small stage or on the big stage known globally; it only matters that we express uniquely the Truth of who we are, this love that absolutely heals us and heals this world starved to connect.

The invitation this day is to jump into the depths of you, touching your soul on fire and go on the ride of your life knowing that this day will never come again and you will never be again – this is your grand adventure!  Nourish all of you:  mind, body, heart and soul.  Claim the gifts that come moment by moment.  Invite the beauty that you are to dance and sing and play in ways that surprise the hell out of you.  For when we are surprised by life discovering more of our Self, we are definitely living open as souls on fire here for this brief journey welcoming the fun, the celebration with awe and gratitude breath by magic breath; our hearts light and full of wonder, wandering and laughing all day long – all night long because it feels damn good.
