Dancing With Life for 2012!

Happy 2012! 

Every year, my colleagues and I choose a theme to focus our writings around for the year. This year, we’ve chosen to focus on “Dancing With Life.”  We will be focusing on a song, poem or quote that is meaningful to us each month and sharing inspiration to empower you all year-long.   Below is my article for January!

It’s All About Us!

“Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance.

I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down.

Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet.

Give it a try, it’ll be alright.”

In an earlier article (A Message for 2012: The Year of the Butterfly), I shared about a vision I had of evolving into a new version of ourselves this year.  The metaphor showed a butterfly coming out of a cocoon.  The song quoted throughout this writing is called All About Us by He is We.  I chose it because it feels like Spirit calling the butterfly within us all to come dance and to trust in Divine support to keep us from falling.  For me, this is the time of really learning to rest in the Divine.

 “The room’s hush, hush

And now’s our moment

Take it in feel it all and hold it

Eyes on you, eyes on me

We’re doing this right.”

So how do we “do this right?”  I asked for a message to help each of us with this new way of being and this is what came through:

Keep your eyes on the beauty in your life.  Savor the sweet tastes and smells.  Embrace the precious moments.  Let the darkness slide from you by keeping your face to the sun. What is precious and delightful in each day?  Make a note of it so that it stays forever in your mind.  Let the fears and worries wash off of you.  That is not your dance this time around.  Instead, feel my love wrap around you.  Hold it close within, for you are LOVED. 

Again, the lyrics illustrate this feeling so beautifully…

“And every heart in the room will melt,

This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,

It’s all about us.”

And more from Spirit…

I see a door slowly opening before me.  Light is pouring in around the door frame.  The door opens away from me and I find myself holding my breath as it opens all the way.  Someone waits for me.  He smiles and offers his hand.  I take it and step into the sunshine.  There are things to do here he says.  Work to be done.  Just let us guide you and you will find your way.  Let the remains of your shell be scraped off so that you can move more freely.  Keep your heart open.  Look for joy and fun.  Life has been hard, but it doesn’t need to be.  Watch.  We’ll show you how to move forward with ease.  Follow what you love.

“Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.

Don’t know what’s got into me,

Why I feel this way.

Can we dance, real slow?

Can I hold you, can I hold you close?”

I see a child on a swing attached to a huge old oak tree.  She is pumping her legs very hard and raising her face to the sun.  She is laughing in pure delight.  The breeze is warm.  The bird song sweet.  She soars through the air with no fear of falling. 

 ”Be like her,” Spirit whispers.

 

“Do you hear that love?

They’re playing our song.

Do you think we’re ready yet?

Love I’m really feeling it.

Do you hear that love?

Do you hear that love?”

Listen closely to what you feel.  That is how we will speak to you.  Listen.  Not to your mind, to your heart.  Love leads, fear distracts.  Remember that…

“And every heart in the room will melt,

This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,

It’s oh, oh,

It’s all about us.”

I see a beautiful yellow butterfly flying up near the top of a hemlock tree.  It is so high up, it is a yellow dot moving in a blue sea.  It soars over the top of the tree and disappears from view…

Much Joy to you on your journey!

Listen to All About Us by He is We:  http://www.purevolume.com/new/HEISWE.  I adore this group!  All of their music is pure delight.

Wishing you an abundant, joyous 2012!

With love,
