What if....

"What if," my friend said to me last night, "what if money was no concern and you could do anything you wanted. What would you be doing? How would you spend your time?"

After some thought, I answered, "I'd be going to women's shelters and homeless shelters, talking to people, listening to their stories, trying help them, if they chose, to let go of being the "victim" and helping them find the way to take control of their own lives again."

"So why don't you do that now?"

Thinking about that conversation this morning, my mind is filled with fears and thoughts of self-doubt:

• "Who do you think you are?!"
• "What could you possibly have to share?"
• "You wouldn't know what to say anyway."
• "That would be such a 'patronizing' thing to do!"
• "You don't have time. You can't even get the things done that you already have to do."
• "You don't have the skills, training or credentials do do that sort of thing."
• "You don't even know where those places are in Huntsville, anyway."
• "That's way outside of your comfort zone."
  

About that time I got this email:

We often have to shhhh'em-up, Becky, here in the unseen. It's just that they become so excited when they see that a really HUGE dream is about to manifest in the seen, they completely forget that from where you are, nothing, yet, appears any different.

SHU-U-USH IT!
The Universe

P.S. Becky, never trust appearances (unless they make you happy).

Hm.... here's to continuing the Journey.... and getting up the courage to see beyond appearances.
