have a little faith in me...
You see once you start down this path of listening to your heart, your intuition and are so deeply connected to your Yes's and your No's, life can feel at times even more challenging.
There is often conflict between what you want to do and what you know to do. There is often conflict between knowing the answer is no but really wishing it could just be yes!
But when you know - you know! It isnt always easy to walk this path, there are lots of things, people, places, experiences that fall away. Fall away it must, not everything is meant to stay, as much as sometimes we would really like it to stay forever.
Old ways will never open new doors. New opportunites are just waiting to be experienced and with every no I am saying, I look forward to seeing what will take its place. To what I can now say YES to and where that road will lead me.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome... Einstein was a very smart man, this quote is all so simple but so direct to the heart.
Belief systems hold on tight, for dear life at times. We can clean and clear them, conciously bring ourselves to see them as clear as day, it is then in the choosing the new belief system we get to conciously choose this time that the conflict can be present.
What I what once would have done is no longer what I will do now.
How I once would have handled a situation is now no longer how I handle the it
Change is uncomfortable. It really is. There is no sugar coating it, your new life is going to cost you your old one and in moving forward, there will be many things fall away that you wish would have always stayed.
Maybe they will come back, maybe they are far in the rear view mirror. Either way, there is much peace in following your heart and trusting your intuition. One of my favourite singers Morgan Evans shares these beautiful words in his song "On My Own Again"...
"I know it might get lonely on my way outta here but as long as the windshields bigger than the rearview mirror..." and "The rest of my life, like the best times, are up around the bend...."
Anything we leave behind will always be a part of our journey, its just up to us how long we keep reliving and replaying that story, that belief, that emotion. The choice is always ours. Ours to choose, ours to change.
Free will is a beautiful thing, I often wish though that we had to follow our hearts and not what was easiest or most comfortable. I know for sure it would have saved me much heartbreak over the years but hey, we only know what we want by knowing what we do not right!
Looking forward, through the biggest windshield I have ever had, I see so much is possible. Things are changing, things are shifting and while all the no's are really hard at the time, they are making room, space and alignment with all the best Yes's that lie ahead. Maybe the rest of my life, like the best times, really is just up around the bend...
Keep being brave and following the Yes's and the No's of your heart, you never know where these choices will lead you. Anything is possible when you have a little faith in yourself.

P.S. I will always choose these three incredible young men who I am so lucky to love, raise, support, guide and learn from. They are the best teachers, the best at shining a light into the tiniest of darkest of shadows and the best love I have ever known. May all the No Thank you's and the Yes Please's I say today be the guiding light for them to do the same. What an incredible life that we will all create by doing this. The No's are so hard sometimes but the Yes's ~ Wow. So much more incredible for all the upgrades, uplevels and new belief systems. Talk about Lucky xxx
So many years ago, nearly 14! Crazy. This photo was taken in January 2011. Our first summer holidays, just the four of us. Oh the fun we had, oh the fun we have. We might have not been where I thought we would be but gosh I am proud of us all xxx
