August is almost done.Summer is nearly over.The beginning of a new year is jusat around the corner.And though I never actually liked new beginnings or changes, this year I'm actually looking forward to them.Changes keep us alert and urge us to keep growing spiritually anad mentally. It seems it will be important to make changes in my work schedule this year.My little girl is growing and is definitely going to be needing more of my presence and help.Third grade this year.Can't believe how much she's grown.Curiously, despite all the changes that will need to take place, I feel a strange sense of tranquility and love.Maybe it's because in the past few months I've been getting certain signs-however odd and superstitious it might sound to some.I've been seeing hearts all over the place.Coincidence, some might say.Maybe,maybe not.I believe too much to disregard those signs as mere coincidence.I am definitely no chuchgoer.But I believe firmly and unwaiveringly.That's why I consider those divine signs.They give me comfort and they unfailingly put a smile on my face, every single time. These are from my every day life.I can't help feeling happier and a bit more positive about life, no matter what curveball I've been thrown, no matter how difficult things are.It's a gentle nudge, a reminder that nothing is permanent,not even pain and hardships.When I see these hearts I am always reminded I am loved, no matter what.Isn't that what we all crave?To be loved unconditionally, despite our many shortcomings and flaws.I feel and understand it fully now.If a heart in a cup of coffee or a breadcrumb is enoough to feel the love, I don't really need to be reminded by anyone how much they love me.I am loved,even if the rest of the world gives up on me.I am loved, even if I make a big mess of my life or inadvertently hurt someone.And that is true for all of us.We are all loved,beyond our understanding.Love is everywhere if we but open our hearts to it. I hope you take this message to heart and put it to use in your life.Yes, it is necessary to put action and hard work to make things happen but it is imperative we not forget to keeep our eyes and soul open to the subtle messages the universe- or God if you will-sends us.Life gets much easier and colourful if you do.It helps you feel grateful for being here and realise we are all connected,not separate entities.We are one. That reminds me of a poem by Walt Whitman.More sepecifically Oh me oh Life.One of my favourites.So much meaning in a few lines.The very fact that we are here,is a sign we are loved.We should be grateful we are alive and are able to contribute,even if it is just a verse. Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. Robin Williams is definitely more convincing in the movie Dead Poets Society. ... I hope you have a great remainder of your day.Be happy and grateful to be alive.If life gets you down, look out for a sign from the angels or the universe to keep you going.What will your verse be?Even if it is a small one, make sure it makes profound impact.Even if you touch one person's life in the smallest of ways, that already is a huge difference.
With love and Light, Lia
