There are events in our life that we see as milestones, goals to be met or accomplished, deeds to be completed and we have a tendency to revere those times as having created a place of change in our lives. My youngest is turning fifty this month and it hardly seems possible that fifty years ago I held this amazing being in my arms with such gratitude for the perfection of his being. My children were a miracle as I had only part of one ovary to create with and the first child was a fertility pill baby. My husband had told the doctor if we get more than one, we get pick of the liter and you get the rest. Thank goodness that was not a decision we needed to make. We see milestones as finishing school, getting married or not, getting your first house or car but the most important awareness of this is that you don’t get to take any of the material things that seemed so important with you, only the emotions you hold about them follows you on your next journey. So, this reminds us to be conscious of the milestones we choose to energize. Where we focus our energy is where the energy goes. How much energy do you choose to hold being concerned about what someone else does or thinks? How much energy do you use to dwell on the future that may never happen.? How much energy do you use to feel at peace in the moment? How much energy do you use to expect the perfect outcome. It has taken years of practice for me to let go of a lot of control and to trust that all I need will flow perfectly. When I am in that emotional space, things do flow perfectly and as I age it has become so much easier to just allow the energy and to focus on things that fill my soul. I had a very strange dream the other night that included a cardboard box of living mice hidden a closet, most of the mice were gray but a few were red. I asked Chatgpt for a dream interpretation. It was fascinating the reply that I received and the best part was that in the dream I had given all the mice away to someone standing behind me. That was the gift. I gave all that the mice represented to someone else to deal with, set free or whatever. That was huge. I suggest looking at the stones you allow to hang around your neck to be repurposed. Do something else with the energy. You will find that your load is lightened and you can occupy your focus with things that fill your tank. Happy exploring and dreaming. Sleep well. Blessings Dove
