Hey Joann,

It was so beautiful to meet you in person and see your wonderful shining light. You brought a lot of joy out in me and provided a great mirror and inspiration and it is lovely to read your sharing here.

One of the explorations for me from the mirror you provided was how wonderful it is that we celebrate each tiny step along the path. The top of the mountain is awesome, however each step along the way is vital and equally important. Without each step we would never get to where we're going, infact in the moment taking the step is exactly where we need to be. Sometimes I have gotten lost with striving for a particular outcome, while there is only what is in front of me right now. Each little break through is of huge significance and even if sometimes it feels like two steps forward and one step back I will have learned something from the apparent step backwards. There is magic all along the path up the mountainside, we just need to lift our heads and see it.

I can so recognsie when you say "I found myself a couple of times trying to get back to that experience and each time I remind myself not to force anything...to follow the pull...to ask constantly "show me" and be ever present to all that is."

Alleluia to the angels, it was so beautiful to sing with you and the other angelic voices (a)

"I step in to the flow and then I let it go
I open my mind, my heart and my soul
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender
I open my mind, my heart and my soul"

With gratitude and blessings, Fiona
