Life has gotten off to a bumpy start in 2009 for me and many of my friends. I have been caught up in the drama of it like a salmon fighting to get up stream while trying to stay away from the bears. Today, while standing in my Room of Creation (what was at initially my Reiki Room), I was told to look for the silver lining. Well, actually I just heard "the silver lining".
Many times when I receive messages – they are simply a blip that runs through my mind like so many other thoughts. If I am not staying in present moment, they go by so quickly that I don’t hear them until I see the “billboard” or have that slap in the forehead “V8” moment. Today, I listened.
As my friend reminded me the other day, we were told this was going to happen before it started. A few months ago, I received a message while cleaning dishes that said “It is coming”. I felt and acted on the pressing need to de-clutter my house so I had a place to come and regroup. And yet, I was so caught up in trying to figure out what “it” was, how do we prepare, what should we do, etc. that I didn’t realize that it is here. I am not completely sure what “it” is but I do believe that much of what is going on in our lives and the world today is associated with the quick moving energy.
We are changing. Things are changing. But that is not all a bad thing. I can feel myself changing and I am embracing it! Things that would have been acceptable to me in the past – no longer are. These changes are promoting our growth and instead of concentrating on all the perceived negativity we should be looking for the silver lining! Yes, we have had friends pass over but they are now with us in ways they couldn’t have been when they had responsibilities here. Yes, people are going through divorces, serious car accidents, serious family issues and many other – not problems – but growth opportunities. We are being taught lessons and if we only get caught up in the drama of it – we miss the silver lining.
Now I know some of the people that read this will think I have completely gone over the edge!! But there is a silver lining in all of this and many times quite a few positive opportunities. While going through my divorce, I couldn't see how any of that drama (lots of it self induced!) could bring about many wonderful positives in my life. Now I can and I am so happy to be where I am in my journey!!

When I take the time to stop and think, I realize there are many things to be thankful for - a.k.a. silver linings - in all of these things that are happening. I have grown closer to many of my friends and feel a much stronger bond/love for them! The outpouring of love and compassion by people even ones we don't yet know has been amazing and wonderful! There are new opportunities for us to do......, be......., and to shine!!
This isn't to say that we all won't have times where there seems like there is too much going on, or we feel like we are living in a snow globe and being shaken about. BUT during those times, we must look for the silver lining!
There is always a silver lining because without change there wouldn't be any butterflies!!
