<\/p>\n

Each day I am awestruck at the wonderment of the Universe\/God in my life.  There are little signs that come up throughout the course of the day that tell me that He is listening. He hears my every thought, my every prayer.  Why does it still surprise me when it happens? I don’t know. In fact, the messages come quickly and effortlessly almost within 24 hours of my thoughts and I can’t even keep up with receiving all the information He is giving me.<\/p>\n

Did this always happen and I just wasn’t as aware of the spiritual flow of the Universe or was I just too busy with my everyday life to hear Him?<\/p>\n

My life is very different today , than it was just a year ago. I spend a lot of time during the day in silence in my beloved home, whereas in my prior life, I was in a corporate office each day, in a tangled , stressed out mess, wondering how on earth I would accomplish all the tasks that were asked of me.<\/p>\n

 My days consist of writing, reading, meditating, exercising, taking care of my Airbnb guests and working on my coaching business. It’s the life I wanted to create and I am finally here. It was a long time in coming, like ten years! I am happier than I have been in a very long time.<\/p>\n

I can hear the voice of God more clearly and easily now and my days of being stressed out have dramatically reduced themselves from what they were over 12 months ago.  In fact, now when I feel like I get too bottled up with emotions that I know are not serving me (or anyone else for that matter) , I take the time to “go within” and meditate. Yes, does it take time out of my busy day? Absolutely! But, I find my life flows better afterwards and I find solutions to answers I need to move my life forward.<\/p>\n

We must all take time out of our busy lives to listen to the messages that are given to us. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some come in the form of an email from someone who you follow online, some come in the shape of a book that calls to you in an airport or bookstore and others come to you in the shower! They just pop right into your head! Hahaha..<\/p>\n

Life just works so much better when we listen and “go within.” Some might read this and say, well it’s easy for you to hear them because you are working from home without a lot of distractions. Really? My phone rings too and my emails pop up every two seconds , my family calls and needs to talk about weekend plans, my friends need a favor and my marketing consultant tells me that I need to learn some new software to get into this online world! I don’t have distractions?<\/p>\n

I do have them, mine just look different than yours! <\/p>\n

So, what do I do to keep my channels open? I monitor my feelings. Am I feeling sad, frustrated? angry? If the answer is yes – I know I am off kilter and I need to do something to get myself back in alignment with my “better feeling state.” Because you see if I don’t feel good, nothing seems to flow right – my business, my relationships, my health.<\/p>\n

How do I get myself back into alignment? I do something that makes me feel good. I go get a pedicure! I get a massage, I listen to a motivating You Tube video or I listen to uplifting music, I exercise, but most importantly – I know I need to meditate.<\/p>\n

Meditation always gets my head and my soul back into a place of calm and openness. This openness allows the mysteries of life to again begin to unfold and reveal themselves to me. Those tense, bottled up, churning in the pit of my heart and stomach feelings – they just keep my dreams and the good in my life away.<\/p>\n

Is it always easy to get back into alignment for me? No. Sometimes it takes a day or two. But let me tell you this – it used to take me a lot longer than that!<\/p>\n

I used to be this very aggressive\/assertive business woman, out to whip the corporate world. And over the course of the last five years of my life, I knew something wasn’t right. I felt my soul tugging at me – saying this isn’t you! Stop! Listen!<\/p>\n

Listen to me! Take the time and reconnect with your God, your Spirit, whatever you call it. Stop the noise and let me show you how the mysteries of life unfold naturally like the world of nature. There is another way to help the world.<\/p>\n

And so, I made the decision on October 31, 2014  to leave the corporate job, I loved in many ways to listen to what God was telling me and to follow a pathway I knew I needed to to follow.<\/p>\n

Each day has been a new day full of amazing wonders that reveal themselves to me. I am inspired daily and wish I could write about everything that comes to mind – but alas- the laundry needs to get done! Hahaha!<\/p>\n

My dear readers, take the time to listen closely, be aware, take the time to be still. Take a walk, sit down and listen to some classical music. Let God speak to you in quiet hours. He is always there, even when you don’t think He is. He just might reveal himself in different forms!<\/p>\n

Let the magical mysteries of life unfold , the Universe doesn’t operate on the instantaneous world that we humans have created with technology. Connect with God\/the Universe and your soul will find peace and calmer days.<\/p>\n

Love and Light,<\/p>\n

Kimberley<\/i><\/p>\n
