Put Your Hands in the Air, You're Surrounded

“If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with.” -Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

Hello again. Let me give this another go. It's been a year and three quarters. Lots has happened. We did sell the house. We did downsize. We are in the process of moving to the other side of the globe. I'm writing this now from the most delightful 17th story apartment facing the southwest skyline of Melbourne, Australia! We (my husband, daughter Raena, and I) have been here for almost 5 days. It's nothing short of glorious.

Despite all the apparent change, one thing remains constant. I'm STILL searching for that elusive Purpose. It's been incredibly discouraging, and yet, salvation seems decidedly near. The answers have been coming with surprising ease and clarity, but what's still lacking is ACTion. I'm back here with you in the hopes that sharing my journey will transform me from dreamer to doer.

And now, with all pleasantries aside, I'd like to spotlight one of the main catalysts for my recent breakthroughs. It's a book called Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by Dr. David R. Hawkins. It's about detaching from any desired outcome or emotional status. It's quite revolutionary. Trust me, go get it and read it yourself.

That's about it. Although this blurb is pretty much all about me, I still want you to be empowered, enlightened, and engaged. I hope we can encourage each other, and remind each other that everything we need is around us and within us. I must go now, I have things to DO.
