Follow your bliss!

ell it was pretty difficult to not have immense gratitude receiving twenty or more articles about gratitude in my inbox this month! How did I get so fortunate and what a gift! There are so many ways I am grateful for the magazine and my life and I’m not saying that to be cheesy, it’s actually how I feel on a deep level. And after connecting with so many kind souls at the Conscious Life Festival last month, there seemed to be a recurring theme… many people shared (and a few with tears in their eyes) that the process of writing an article in the magazine has assisted them to express and be themselves more fully than ever before. And I realised what a transformational experience it is to write from the heart, pushing through fears of being exposed (and for some of our spiritual writers, past
life fears can come up) and it is giving and a receiving on many levels. Writing and sharing openly in a public forum is about being seen so it is a great joy and honour that I have been a part of people’s process particularly given ‘being visible’ has been a big part of my journey and continues to be… I have realised, you don’t have to be talking on a stage to ‘be seen’; expressing yourself, openly with your guard down, through written expression, is just as much about being in the public eye. Words can and do change the world as they have an energy behind them and a possibility in them… What words can you express in the verbal or written form that can transform and connect you even more to YOU? Can you be grateful for all of you?
