Today is day 3!! ^_^ Welcome back! To all those who are flowing with me, thank you! And all those that have yet to, I invite you to indulge in this deep di
One of my favorite mistakes was listening to my dad by majoring in communications when I knew I wanted to go to art school. It is such a disheartening thing when what you want to do/ your passion is met with a wave of opposition of "what are you gonna do with that?"s and "you can do that on the side"s. And what's even more disheartening is when I listened and followed through when everything in my being said "No, that's not you." I enjoyed communicating more than majoring in communications and although it was 'logical' it wasn't true to who I was. I desired to communicate, just in a different way. My dad majored in communications in college and granted he was more knowledgable in the communication field than he was in art and thus, perhaps, didn't know of the possibilities, flexibility, and opportunities open to those in the arts. One day I read this quote online and it is the essence of my favorite mistake: "Your passions are not random, they are your calling."
One of my golden mistakes was avoiding, denying, and resisting the legitimacy of my passions and talents. Because... by avoiding it I came right back to it. The very thing I was running from I was running to. It was this inauthentic living that pushed me towards who I really was and owning that. It was through this glorious mistake that drove me to live on purpose and purpose-fully. I mean, I'm a pomegranate. (Laughs) If I'm squeezed pomegranate juice comes out of me. No other. If I'm blessed with the gift to write, sing, and weave then that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Through living inauthentically and 'out of line' I learned that I was in a position to yearn for, seek out, and live my truth and honor who I was and how I felt. I learned about alignment through being unaligned.
I honor and respect that 'mistake' because that was good and thinking on that instance of my life I see that there is no 'bad'. There's only good. It's ALL good, even what we perceive to be bad, or APPEARS to be misfortune. Your focus determines your reality and the wise of heart TRAIN their minds to see the good in every situation.
Trusting,

ving that's going on this month by participating in GG Renee's #30Layers30Days Self Discovery Challenge with me and dozens of other women. On Day 3 we reminisce on our favorite mistake.
