Everything is Energy

How often do we focus our attention on the present moment? Most of the time we are rushing around to get things done so we can cross off our todo list, go to sleep and start all over again. Do we take the time to notice what is right in front of us, the surroundings, the people we are interacting with?  Most of the time for many of us we are moving so quickly we notice very little that is in our path.
Since moving to California my life has changed. I am living a more mindful life and becoming more aware of the energy that is present in the moment.
Each day feels like a grand adventure even the ordinary things I do. I am curious to who I will meet and what events will occur. Simple things like going to the grocery store with my granddaughter is a truly divine experience. She is delighted by all the different types of food and carefully makes her choices of what she will put in her basket and bring home. Her energy is alive and moves here and there with no designed plan. I watch her as she follows the energy. She is having a wonderful joyful experience.  Some  people stop for a moment and share her joy with a smile.
I went to the park a few weeks ago by myself in the early part of the evening. Actually I was upset about someting that had happened earlier in the day and thought a walk would do me good.
As I walked I noticed a young man and he smiled at me. Spontaneously, I smiled back and we started to walk the path together. His energy was sweet and calming to me and before long we were laughing and sharing stories about our lives.
When it got dark, we walked to the parking lot and he asked for my number and wanted to meet again. The old me would have said no and yet I was able to stay with the energy and respond positively.
How many times have I shut down the flow of energy or my clear inner feelings because of fear of the unknown. Fear of what would happen if I was living in an expanded state of consciousness and allowing my guidance and my inner knowing direct my path.
I have seen this young man several times since the day in the park and he has given me a beautiful gift of seeing myself in a new way, more open, less fearful and more accepting to the gifts of the universe.
Some of the gifts that arrive at our doorsteps, don’t always look like what we ordered. Yet they are the gifts our soul is guiding as through to grow and expand into the greatness of who we truly are. There  are no accidents, everything that comes into our lives, is a divine gift to help us become more aware and more awake to the gift of life………Celebrate our aliveness and be mindful of each day and the energy that is flowing to you and from you connecting you to all that is.
