Who’s dreams are you living?

This is a question we need to ask ourselves often.

Who do we serve in NOT living our dreams?

These questions had been in my thoughts for weeks leading up to my book launch.

I shuffled my new card deck of Moments of Transformation, and for the third time in little under 36-hours, I pulled the same card ~ Joy. It was certainly true I was feeling joy. It was waving through my body with a complete ease, whereas joy in the past felt more like a quick high, and somewhat fleeting. This joy was whole and constant. It allowed me to see that even my level of joy was transforming.

I know that stepping forward and sharing my writing, launching my first book Soul Blessings and my Moments of Transformation Cards came from a place of deep knowing. I had had the message in meditation over the past six months that it would be a disservice not to share these. That push-pull dynamic within us precedes almost everything, especially in those moments of new ventures. It is real and we must see it, acknowledge it and honour that which is our deepest truth and keep going.

Our gifts are to be shared. But more importantly, that which brings us the great joy we need to move towards, feel, embody and take claim to. No one else can tell us the “right” way, although they will try. Others may judge you, and still, we are called to move towards your own personal joy.

If you feel this push-pull dynamic, it is time to sit in stillness or take a long walk in nature, to allow more clarity and direction. Our lives are busy, and in this busyness that still quiet voice of your soul needs to be heard, by YOU. Listen. Be open to receiving these messages, which your soul brings forth. Trust.

Here is the full message on the card:

Joy

~ Delightful Revelry ~

Message: Joy is the deepest essence of delight, fully embraced. Meet joy at every crossroad

~ small moments fuel more joy. Allow it to bubble up within you

~ it cannot be contained. Like laughter, allow it to become infectious.

Deepening: What simple actions can you take to enhance your joy? What was the one thing that brought you great joy as a child? Fling your arms wide open, look upwards, and hold this position. Often.
