The Roaring Twenties, Holy Moly!

Well, here we are in 2021 and what has changed?  Were you, like so many, praying and hoping 2021 would bring us freedom from the pandemic and all that it entails?  Were you, like so many, thinking: A New Year? A New Start?  Were you hoping to get out and eat in a restaurant again?  Hug family and friends? Travel to far-away places?  

Yeah, me too.  And instead, at least so far, we have all been traumatized by the events of 2021.  

I hate to be the bearer of yucky news, but this experience we are all going through globally is probably a glimpse of what the entire decade will likely be about. Gulp.  No normal or going back to “better” times.  I think it’s more about facing the ugly truth that humanity as a whole is in the throes of change.   And that is putting it mildly.  The sooner we realize this decade of the 20’s in the current century of the 2000s is about complete and deep change, the better off we will be, and we can relax and go with the flow.  Yeah, I know - easier said than done.

So how do we relax when outside our homes, Fear abides? How can we surrender to the experience of change which feels like turmoil and chaos? I personally have been in an energetic twist.  Feeling fear grip me and then focusing on releasing the fear.  The only way I can move through this roaring time of epic pandemic of not only the virus but the anger and fear, is to face it.  To recognize that I am imbibing the emotional energy of others.  

The news outlets make their bread and butter from fueling the fire of fear and anger.  SO - STOP WATCHING THE NEWS.  Don’t be a daily news junkie.  Believe me, you will know that is happening because I am sure your family and friends will tell you.  STAY AWAY FROM the Negative side of SOCIAL MEDIA. Consider joining my FB group, “Live Your Empowered Life” or other empowering or mindful social media groups. In case you haven’t noticed, the polarization of opinions whether or not they are based on FACTS (are there really such a thing a fact anymore?) hasn’t been bringing anyone to consensus or unity.  

Once you have had a pause from all of that external disruption, make time daily to breathe and connect within.  Connect to your own BEING - your soul wisdom and listen deeply to what your are being called to BECOME.  Follow your own inner light that is the LOVE of Spirit.  

Ask yourself…”Am I a Light Leader?” and listen without your mind kicking in.  Just listen.  You will be surprised at what your inner Being response is.  

And I will bet you, the answer is “YES!”.
