Leading With Your Heart

This past week I have once again been given the opportunity to choose…..to walk in silence within the boundaries that someone else has created….or to listen to my Heart…..to speak my Truth…..and to be who I truly Am…..

As I was pondering over this, one morning I opened the kitchen blinds, and there, shining so brightly on the house behind us, through the fence, was a beautiful image that the Sun was presenting to me…..I knew at that moment that it was my day to Lead with my Heart…..and that I did….and my Heart now flies free of limitations once again….every day and every moment we have a choice….

I created this piece of art from that sun-filled image, adapting it in my own style…..

‘Every day you learn
Leading with your heart
Can lift you higher
Where your heart’s desire
Will be waiting for you…’

(from ‘Leading With Your Heart’ by Barbra Streisand)

hi, karin….yes, it does seem that we are living somewhat parallel paths at times…i love it when that synchronicity happens and that what i create can uplift someone else as well…thank you for letting me know that…..and yes…i feel you did the right thing for your spirit, my friend….. :-)

I’ve read your words through three times, and am so moved by your ability to express yourself so clearly, to have such awareness of the sun symbol presented to you, and the openness to receive it.
And then…... wow! Stunningly beautiful interpretation of the liberated whole you!
