The Power of Intention

Yesterday I stated my intention. I believe that it is important to let the Universe know where I’m headed, what I’m up to. It loves nothing more that to join me on my journey and conspire with me, especially when I am following what I know in my heart is my reason for being.
My intention for yesterday, today, and every day is to heal, to grow, to take another step closer toward my destiny, helping others heal. I know I cannot do that effectively if I do not continuously mend myself. The more I let the Universe know this, the more opportunities I get.
Because of this, I am in a place in my life where I know deep down in the depths of my soul that all the adversity I have gone through has been for a purpose. Some of it I was powerless over and some of it I created because I refused to accept and grieve that which I had no control over. But it has never been for naught.
My adversity has given me the opportunity to look at life in a different way. I have come to perceive everything as a lesson. I have come to accept that grief is inevitable when you choose to love, because love really is a choice. It was a choice I had to consciously make after finally allowing myself to grieve the losses in my life; the loss of loved ones, my childhood innocence, unmet needs. The beautiful gift is that I was able to make the choice fully aware of the price I will ultimately have to pay, for nothing is constant. People come and people go, summer turns to fall, fall turns to winter and winter to spring. The wheel of the year goes on but it no longer scares me as much as it used to. It is a fear I can allow myself to experience, breathing in and out, and moving forward, heart wide open. The more I release, the more I make room for.
Spirit, continue to walk with me as I dream my world into creation…a world where I can help heal and inspire others as they walk their journey. Allow me to put one foot in front of the other despite my fear knowing that you are always beside me…the buffalo, the owl, the spider and the grasshopper; all of your beautiful manifestations. Allow me to hear your voice in the wind and the whispers in my soul…the Goddess within, ever guiding me.
And so it is.

I am glad that you have helped me and continue to help me to heal and to be my guide for this journey I chose to also follow. Thank you.
I have to also say your words are very inspirational! You should continue to express to the Universe what you feel, want, and wish for.
Love you! I look forward to your great words of wisdom everyday to help me through the day.

Thank you for that post. I so needed to read it this morning. I just ended a relationship two days ago and it has ripped my heart out, but I know it was the right thing to do. I hurt a lot right now, but what you said about people coming in and out of our lives and the wheel of the year helped me. Thank you.
