Things have been a little bit heavy over on my side of the tracks.
Heaviness is a sign for me that I’m forcing something that needs to be let go.
Life is hard enough as it is.
Our identity gets stolen, a customer pushes a limit, a loved one doesn’t take our wishes into consideration, we can’t reach a compromise, our teenager won’t talk to us, the economy slows down, our animals get sick or injured…on and on the list of obstacles and challenges go.
When a spring snow storm hits and the snow attaches to the leaves on a tree that it droops under the extra weight.
This is how I feel when I’m walking down the wrong path.
I feel heavy and pulled down.
When you look at the tree, it seems so obvious what it needs to do in order to be healthy and grow and blossom.
It needs sunlight, and warmth… and it needs to shake off the heavy snow.
I used to always carry the weight of the world on my shoulders… but I’m slowly learning that life is too important to take so seriously.
Let go of what’s not serving you, lean into moments of joy, and allow your warm light to shine.
