Planting Seeds

Maybe I should really call this "intention gardening."  I believe that when you plant seeds regarding your intentions, they take root and grow.  So, I have been planting seeds all over, sharing my intention to move my life into a very different direction with everyone I know.  I have told my family, friends, business colleagues, and obviously, I am planting those seeds in cyberspace with this blog.  Even though I don't have a definitive plan or even a specific timeline yet, I know that I need to move on, so I am scattering those seeds as I go.

Part of intention gardening is also fertilizing what you've planted, so I am actively looking into all of those things that I may have wanted to do at some time in the past, but have been either too afraid or too busy to pursue.  I have put out feelers for teaching Nia at the university at which I formerly was a faculty member.  I have been following up on leads for the voice-over acting I have wanted to do for years and years. And, I have also been fertilizing my mind, visiting websites, reading books and trying to learn and grow in new areas. 

The thing that I find most interesting is I am noticing how all of the pieces I have been collecting over the years are finally coming together.  I am seeing that the inspirational artwork, affirmations, books and the "little altars" of things large and small I have filled my space with for years are finally speaking back to me.  They are saying, "This is really who you are, who you have been all along.  It's just taken you a while to figure it out."  This is another Ruby Slipper moment, recognizing what I have known subconsciously all along.  Go figure.
