Courage To Change

 

I suppose the writing was on the wall.

Spent the past week musing and melding on Courage in prep for our next habit on the list.

Only day before last comes the realization we’re actually looking at Change.

 

Yes, those are the sounds of screeching skid marks you heard.

Total blank.

 

Hey, what if I didn’t write anything.

What reactions would there be to see a blank page.

Dare I?

 

Too late now. Obviously.

But cause for questioning –

how many things do I expect to be a certain way, to show up at a certain time, occupy a certain space –

and then doesn’t?

 

All the things uncomfortable?

 

Stretching outside the box on my own terms is much easier.

Or so I let myself believe.

There’s freedom in control, right?

Ha, ha, ha.

 

Pushed and prodded isn’t so fun.

All too necessary, far too often.

Because controlled stretch can only go as far as fear will let me.

 

 

At the other end is change by the vice grips of chaos.

When what makes up my world changes, I have to follow suit – ready or not.

There’s no choice in the matter.

 

Although not easy to admit, having to change is in many ways easier than wanting to change.

This isn’t my doing. Not my fault.

I can be the victim, the hero, or someone in between.

But change I will.

 

Somewhere in the realm beyond out of control and short of utter chaos is a sweet spot.

Here is the space of letting go into being true creation.

The struggle against Life turns around into alignment.

We’re not at the mercy of Life, but in an alliance.

In this magical place of in between, we become one with Life Itself.

 

 

Living Bliss is a jump-in-with-both-feet look at where Life bumps into the everyday – whether at work, play or times in between. Bliss knows no separation in the end. From a deeper dive into the ordinary pops forward the extraordinary life we search for – and has been there waiting for us to be.

She uses her knack for combining intuitive abilities and logic to help re-ignite what Lights you up inside and make real “there’s something more”. Lorraine’s deepest wish is for you to be full of yourself in everything you do – a life truly lived in bliss.
