Permission to Sparkle
This week I had a dream that I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. What unfolded in the dream was profound. I found myself looking at my life and making radical decisions, giving myself permission to do and be all these things I had dreamed of, but never done.
In my dream, the decisions were effortless and clear. My priorities and desires sparkled. And the clutter of my life fell aside.
As I awoke, I lay in the stillness so struck by this dream — my pounding heart reminding me I’m alive.
Why is it that a terminal diagnosis would give me permission to set up my life as I desire? Why can’t I just live that life now?
Kinda makes you wonder what stories are really playing out under the surface of our awareness. Thank God for this wakeup call!
Today, give yourself permission to sparkle – breathe fully into every moment and bask in its joy and wonder. Look tenderly into your heart and ask, “Who am I inspired to be? What actions today will reflect that?”
My goodness…..WHAT A DREAM!!!!!!!!
Any new thoughts?
I know Lola. What a dream, for sure. Yes, the new thought arrived as I was pouring Hanna juice yesterday. I’ll share it in a new post! But the short of it is this… we’ve been conditioned since childhood to ask politely for things in hopes we get them… when really our natural, innocent voice would have just ‘announced’.
Stay tuned for the full story! Hugs, Paula
