My connection to spirit has amplified over the years as I have learned how to trust my own heart and soul path. I remember at the beginning of this soulful adventure, many many moons ago, I would spend hours in contemplation, asking my guides for just the right signs, confirmation, or clarity that I could trust the path that was unfolding before me and the decisions I was needing to make. I was always willing to jump into change, but often times, I would test the waters always making sure I was well supported in all my endeavors before eventually proceeding. In honesty, one sign from above was never enough. I would usually wait for at least three (or perhaps thirty) before diving into the next adventure.

Of course, as I walked ahead with faith into the unknown, my path unfolded beautifully. Not that there was never a bump along the way, but that at the end of the day, I always managed to create exactly what I truly needed, while staying true to my own priorities and heart. During those changes, I also began to believe not only in the guidance received, but also in my own ability to carry the load.

Lately, my signs and path are evolving notably faster. I realize some of that has to do with the cosmos in general, but some of my own navigational speed is gaining momentum because I have developed a solid platform and trust process with my own inner guidance. What would have perhaps taken months to unfold or prepare for even just a few years back, now comes to life much quicker and with very little time spent wondering if I should truly make the next change, if I am ready, or if the stars have fully aligned. Instead, I have learned that guidance arrives when we are already prepared and ready to take that leap of faith. Any delayed time for extra confirmation is not really needed. Further signs are always provided for if we choose to request more validation, but never really required when we learn how to fully surrender to the process of our own SOULworks.

For example, over the course of a few days my guides sent nudges and ideas of a change that was coming. One morning, I woke up with a dream describing an opportunity I should explore. An hour later, I found the door within the dream exactly as it was described, wide open before me. And, then I just jumped. No waiting. No second guessing. Just pure joy in following my own soulful adventure.

Learning to trust and follow your own life path does take faith. I get it, change is scary. However, the truth is, there is always divine support when it comes to following your heart. We humans make it complicated. Change does not have to be such an intimidating transition. Watch for the signs. Observe the synchronicities. Then jump in with both feet. The universe is always there ready to support you, trust me.

Namaste,
