Drown into Life

Usually when one thinks about drowning, it holds a negative connotation.  But today, drowning evolved to become more about life and love then anything else.  When you have passion, it is natural to immerse yourself so that all of your energy flows out of you and into it.  I want to live life by drowning myself in love, energy, joy, and peace.  I want to fully commit myself to not being able to breathe without it.  I long to drown others with kindness, grace and mercy.  Drowning isn't all bad when looked at in this way.  I think many times we go through life just trying to stay afloat.  Trying to keep our head above the water in so many things that it feels as though we are barely surviving.  When you take that breathe and dive under you can literally feel the commitment.  There is no better feeling then knowing you are giving everything you have to someone or something. I imagine it is scary and frightening to not know the outcome but commit anyways. But I would rather give everything then give half of who I am.  If you want to live, you must drown in something first.  It is the only way you will ever receive a full awareness of who you are and the life you were destined to live.  So drown away, not in sadness or despair, but for the one who gave us life!

Inspiration from a Chalkboard

Today, sitting in hot yoga, not really wanting to be there but going anyways, I looked up and straight ahead, on the chalkboard that took up the entire wall was the saying "Trust the Journey".  In that moment, I realized that that board was written for me.  I really believe that I needed to hear that more than anything.  With all the uncertainty and fear that has been alive in me lately, that wasn't just a phrase, that was a way that I needed to start truly living my life.  Sometimes, we just need to trust that what we are doing and the direction we are moving in, is the right one.  Often times we question, stop, or even turn completely around.  I realized I don't want to be paralyzed by fear; I don't want to be crippled by the unknown.  I want to live every moment, and trust that the journey is exactly what I need and where I need to be going. I truly believe that sometimes we just have to 'be' and let peace transform us. Trust in the journey is not just a phrase, it is a way of life.  I know that I am moving towards what I know and believe to be true, and sometimes that is all you can do.  Keep moving! Trust it!
