LISTEN...

As some of you know, I like to look at ETSY and buy things that I find inspiring. I have purchased many pieces of art from many different artists out there, mostly by viewing their blogs. Aren't blogs wonderful? They inspire, they point out new information, they share things that are important and sometimes even just mundane but they share. That for me is the key word.

This bracelet is made by an artist in the mid west named Julie Pishney. I liked this bracelet the moment I read the words she had stamped in to the silver: LISTEN TO THE WHISPERS OF YOUR HEART. That is something that each and every one of us needs to do more often. How many times does our heart tell us something and we ignore it, push it aside, change it to suit us at the moment? This is something I am trying to be more in touch with these days: listening to my heart.

We had over 6 and one half inches of rain over the weekend and I worry about what this storm here in the western United States is planning on doing to the mid western and eastern United States in the next day or two. I hope that all the blogger friends that I follow will be safe. We were not able to use our Internet because we have satellite and when the storm cells are so heavy, there is absolutely no service available. The winds were huge with trees blowing from side to side. Luckily, nothing fell and no damage was done. But not so for others farther east, or so I have heard on the news today. I am sending you all good thoughts, listening to the whispers.

This week I have tests that apparently have to be a part of my yearly regime until I am cancer-free for 5 years. Talk about whispers in my heart! It's hard not to be concerned. It's hard not to wonder "what". But, I know that among my circle of friends, there are lots of people sending me healing, loving thoughts and I believe that our thoughts are prayers. I know that I will be fine. I know that the whispers of my heart are telling me to not worry, to trust in the healing power of thought and the universe and spirit, and to send thanks to all who are "with" me on Thursday. I know that I will be able to feel every one's presence.

Into each life a little rain must fall, right? Let's just hope that it's exactly that: "a little rain". Be safe everyone. My thoughts are with you all. Hear the whispers of my heart!
