What's Your Intent?

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a pretty private person. I started this blog entry the weekend that my mother transitioned. I couldn’t bring myself to type or even finish what I had written. But it's time. Although over the last few months I have shared bits and pieces of these downloads. Each letter typed brings pain and the harsh reality that my mother is no longer physically on this earth. However, with each letter I type I can also acknowledge that my mother’s spirit lives on and is no longer bound by the chains, restrictions, and attachments of this world.

Now more than ever, I feel inclined to be more intentional. I have been called to encourage and guide people through a journey of intentional living and healing. Whatever that may look like for them. Anything that I present to this world is solely out of reverence and gratification of God, the divine creator of this universe. My purpose, our purpose is to elevate the frequency of this planet. It is our responsibility to bring love, empathy, clarity, kindness, respect, authenticity and positive intentions to every experience and interaction we have. We are responsible for the energy that we emit.

As an empath I feel so deeply. I have worked so hard to not allow people to project their feelings onto me, especially during this time. I am even more protective of my space and the space of my family. I have worked hard to recognize what feelings and emotions are mine, why they are there; which ones are not, and how to release them all. Over the past year and specifically the last few months, I have been forced to feel all the feelings. And I have seen firsthand how not releasing can affect your physical, spiritual, and mental/emotional body.

When I think about intentional living, I think about walking boldly in love; both on purpose and in purpose. It can be hard, but I believe it gets easier. In every word you speak and every action there should be love. No ego, and no ulterior motive. And just because you chose to walk in love doesn't mean that you will be met with that same energy. But when you know your purpose, that doesn’t matter. Being bold enough to live with intention means setting boundaries and not feeling guilty about it. It means being certain of your purpose and walking with confidence.

I think some of the biggest challenges that prevent us from living with intention are fear of being judged, comparing ourselves to others, holding on to regret, lack of boundaries and thinking that we have time. Time to fix it, time to try again, time to experience something new, time to change. And although the thought of “start over” as many times as we need to is nice, the bigger picture is the time is NOW. Eckhart Tolle, a famous spiritual teacher, and self-help author once said “People don’t realize that now is all there ever is. There is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind”.

No need to wait a few more days to establish your New Year's resolution. Set your intention NOW. What does that look like? What do you need and what do you want for you life? Who are you being called to be? What are you being called to do? How do you intend to raise the frequency of the planet? Starting with you! It may be tough but, take some time and acknowledge the things that are holding you back from your intention. What are they? How have they held you back? How are you going to free yourself from those restrictions?

I pray every day that my heart and my actions remain pure, and that people can see the spirit of God radiating through me. I pray that God grants me clarity and serenity. I pray that God removes fear from my heart. I pray that I can walk with and in grace, intent and love. I pray for wisdom and discernment to navigate this experience called life.

Peace
