Anytime something/one new is born, there is pain.
We typically may not think of that, but it seems to hold true that from pain comes purpose…from experience comes empathy and/or extra understanding…from turmoil come opportunities for transformation…
May we fully mourn and lament the loss of what we thought might have been…what ended unexpectedly…what blindsided us because only when we release are we free to receive.
When we release the past, we free ourselves to receive the present (pun intended – present/gift).
We can then celebrate the birth of new things!
We can live in child-like awe and wonder!
We can open ourselves up to fully enjoy all the pleasant surprises Heaven sends our way!
What is being birthed in our lives now…or waiting to be birthed once we mourn, lament and release?
What/whom do we need to release to make room for the new?
