Each day we have the opportunity to do something wonderful....

Experience life to it's fullest!!
Stretch my potential in someway
Even if it's small...!

... of course clanging cymbals while standing on a polar bear dressed like a penguin might be stretching your potential a bit too far... but the picture was soo cute I had to post it!!

I want to challenge myself everyday to do something to work towards accomplishing my goals. I have gathered together an amazing array of keys over my life time... keys of what I call my
'ah~haaa' moments....


;)
let me explain...

over my 51 years I have had the opportunity to meet a some amazing people. A few of them have given me pearls of wisdom... I call these my keys... (in my imagination) I keep these keys on a very large round key ring.... the keys are all different sizes and shapes....

each key represents something that opened a door for me in my life walk. something profound that made me stop and say - OMG... I understand...

illuminated my path...

Alissa handed me a key when I read her book.... it opened the door to my secret garden of life.... adding richness to my journey... provided an answer - a key to life... a key to vibrant health ... and unknowingly to me at the time... a key to my future heart path...

a key which would enable me to hear my heart song...

sometimes I sit and I look at all my keys and I touch each one - remembering the lesson I learned... those precious words spoken that gave me one more piece of the puzzle.... it is good to reflect on those lessons so they are not forgotten... and it's also good to use those keys so they don't get rusty! Unlock that old memory, unlock that old talent, unlock that fear that would hold you back from your dreams....

somewhere in the very depths of your Spirit... you know who you truly are...

Search deep within yourself and remember... or perhaps truly meet yourself for the first time... ;)

unlock that person from the chains of fear, doubt, old wounds and pain that would keep you hidden.

remember... ;)

You are soo worth taking this journey ~ you are so valuable and precious and deserve to be celebrated... it's about way more than the food... but that just happens to be one of the keys.... ;)

    Great post Star! You are going through some life-shifts and growth spurts too, huh? It's evident. You are much wiser than 51. You are such a complete treasure. Just thought I'd tell you that. PS. I love the other penguin...holding the purse! Reminds me of my dh when we go shopping...oh no she didn't!!! LOL

    Hi Starfire~
    I often stop and reflect on the lessons I am learning too - I know that everything happens as it's supposed to - and I accept that. What I'm also learning is that not ALL lessons have to be hard! Like for me - this RAW journey - it seems as if it is effortless right now! Love your posts~

    You paint the most colorful pictures... I need to keep my keys on me, so that all the great lessons I learn don't get lost in the wind when there is too much happening! What a great reminder!

    Starfire,

    You don't really know me as I have mostly been a lurker for the past year or so. I feel I am finally ready to RISE up and claim ME. I have had such a challenging time embracing raw and have looked my demons head on, and then RAN LIKE HELL. It is because of this type of post, that I am ready to look them head on, then invite them in for tea before I send them on their way..... thank you!
