Growing up in Lockport, NY there was a big rock (probably not as big as I remember) that had 'God is Love' painted on it. I remember thinking about how obvious that was and why would anyone need to write it down - to broadcast it, but I get it now. It may have been a reminder to someone, a reflection, or a big step in another's journey. But to me it was stating the obvious. Yet now I know sometimes we need to state the obvious!
Over the past months I have been antsy, I am sure part of my unsettled feelings come as I approach a new decade of my life. On July 16,2014 I will celebrate my 60th birthday. I can easily reflect back to my younger years and can VIVIDLY recall wondering if I would ever make it to this decade! Over the years I know I have had a very busy and effective Guardian Angel or two (or twelve) who put in much overtime to keep my safe and in one piece!
Recently I have made a practice of starting my days with the Reiki Precepts. I have Cecelia Staryos of Stone Mountain Reiki to thank for this, Cecelia gave a wonderful spiritual keynote speech at the 2014 Celebration of Reiki Conference that made a profound impression on me. My main reason for attending the Conference was to learn more about Animal Reiki and I was not disappointed! Kelly McDermott-Burns gave a wonderful presentation and it was enough of a push to get me to enroll in the Shelter Animal Reiki telecast for animal Reiki Practitioners.
So at this moment in time I am on many journeys, some days I feel like I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but most days I can reflect on the Reiki Precepts and bring myself back to where I need to be: Here - Now - Present.
