Insightfully Yours

I recognize the feeling of emptiness inside ...

That there’s something really missing ... that a part of you has died.

And I wish that I could help you ... wave a wand, take it all away ...

But I know from my own being there that these feelings are here to stay.

They will come and go ... until you truly allow yourself to share ...

Until you truly care to BE THERE ...

Enough to use your God given gifts...to speak from your very soul ...

The love ... the pain ... even this emptiness ... is a way to serve more than yourself.

It’s truly the only way ... to once again begin feeling whole ...

Once and for all ... take the leap ... and stop sitting on the shelf.

When this cocoon is left behind ... and your focus again becomes clear ...

You will see it’s never been about ... what gifts your pride held near ...

Could bring to you ... or do for you ... other than a sense of knowing ...

That each time you open up and share ... it’s your very soul you’re showing.

So...as hard as it is for me to watch you going through this needed transformation ...

I celebrate each and every puzzle piece you place toward your final destination.

No...it’s not over then ... it’s really just begun ...

Discovery simply ignites the passion ... then passion creates the gift ...

And God and the Angels of the Light serve to give it the added lift.

Together you serve many in your own very special way...

And the emptiness is replaced with a certainty anything is possible ... all that matters is Today.

There’ll still be moments of impatience ... you are human, after all ...

Trust that the time isn’t up to you ... relax ...just be ... then act when you get the call.

The happiness ... peacefulness ... aliveness you will feel can become a part of daily living ...

Because you’ve allowed your authentic self ... your God within ... to do the giving.

In moments when you become tired and lost ... and this you will most certainly do ...

Just step back ... be quiet ... and truly allow the voice within to be heard ...to present clues to you.

You’ve done this...I’ve seen you ...you’ve felt it...loved it ...shown gratitude ...

And the only thing that keeps you from this peace is your inconsistent belief and attitude.

How did I receive this very gift ... given for me to share with you?

It was given in a moment of silence, sipping my morning coffee ... pondering the day before me ...

I heard the first couple of lines as they flowed ... and knew in a flash what my choice was to be ...

I could ignore them ... forget them ... or push them away for now ...

Or I could put my pen to paper and discover my inner WOW!!!

Your WOW may not be in writings or artistic pursuits ... instead more like an idea ... a thought.

Never too trivial to acknowledge ... perhaps record ... it’s important ... and to you was brought ...

And if it has helped yourself ... others ... your job ... become more loving and more enjoyable ...

You can be sure you were picked for this by your God within as someone very employable.

Believe and you will receive,

September 23, 2001 To ME...and YOU Love & Light, Carolyn Shannon
