…a summer sunset…

This summer has been magical for me. I have enjoyed it more than in years gone by and I am starting to reflect on why this is.

I usually take some time off during the summer months… this summer I did not.

The weather was similar to previous years… some days hot, some days cooler.

We had our usual birthday celebrations over the summer… no change there.

So what had changed?

It was me…

From late spring-time, SURRENDER was a huge theme for me. The first few months of the year were amongst the worst I have lived – one day I’ll be ready to share. And I remember sometime in May finally saying to myself and the universe…’OK, I surrender…’ I surrender to what life wants to show me and what it wants to give me. I allow my soul and its journey to lead. I no longer fight or block or demand.

And in that magical moment, I was free. 

I didn’t have to make an attempt; I didn’t have to feel frustrated. I could really simply BE and allow life in. I could observe, see and let life show me… My goodness it was so, so totally freeing.

I have a feeling that was the change. The change in my outlook which has led me to have the summer of my dreams.

So simple… so difficult… so needed.

I had come to the end of my tether, so surrender wasn’t as difficult as it previously might have been. I really didn’t have the strength or patience, I had no choice but to allow… to surrender…

This is often how the universe brings it to us. We receive the gifts when there is no other way out. I had no other path than one of surrender. And I took it. I am thankful now, for it has shown me that I can trust, I can allow and I can reap so many benefits. Like the benefits of fully observing a summer unfold before me.

It has been one of magic and as these last days of summer come to an end, I am looking forward to some autumn surrender and magic too.

Much love, Bx
