I Believe I Can Fly!

I enjoyed this song during a spiritual ceremony two weeks ago and I am still singing it. This song boosts my spirits, imagination and belief like no other.
"I believe I can fly."  I am in control as I step off of the cliff of opportunity. I have chosen to make this step through belief in myself and the security of my maker in not wanting me to fail.
"I believe I can touch the sky." The sky is NOT the limit. There is no limit as I touch the sky and move forward.
"I believe I can soar." I am so confident that I can drift into mindless soaring and enjoy the ride knowing that when I want to change directions, I can simply choose to "spread my wings and fly away."
"See me walking through the open door." I need the courage of flying and soaring and touching the limitless sky to walk through the always open door of new opportunities and adventures.
I Believe I can fly!

Reflection on FEAR

I came across an interesting thought this week - to be in fear is to believe that you are alone. There are many fascinating ways to view fear but this one forces me to examine my daily walk. Am I thinking, walking, planning alone? Do I believe that I am alone in wanting the best life possible for Sherry Ransom? The answer is NO. I am not alone, ever. Every experience, every bump in the road, every victory is shared. When we start to feel alone, that is the time for a return to a more focused meditative prayer life. The Muslim tradition of stopping to pray three times a day would benefit me in remembering to focus on not feeling alone.

Prayer is not about asking for things but it is a time to say thank you for the many bounties of our lives.  Our thank yous should outnumber our requests many times over. I am pumping up my prayer life starting NOW.

Just my thoughts for this day.
Love and light to all.

Living in Transition

Life never stops surprising me. Here I am poised to step into teaching the power of life transitions and I am living in a whirlwind of transition on all career fronts. I am being challenged to question everything that involves how I spend my daily precious hours. I feel blessed that there is no fear in this time because I understand that life transitions are gifts - it is totally our reactions that determine where we land.

I know to stop - take a deep breath- and ask to be shown the glory in this temporary turmoil. It is in knowing that it is temporary that keeps the fear at bay. Life is about change and I welcome the next adventure that is coming my way. I will keep you posted.

Love and light to you all.
