Have you Come Alive, yet?

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.- Howard Thurman

The world needs all of us—not as a sleepy eyed just barely awake human but the kind of human who is fully awake with sleep washed from our eyes awake and ready to make the world the place it was created to become.  In order to do that….it takes all of us moving about offering our unique gifts to the world.

Seems a lot of the time, I myself get caught up in the business of life.  I work, I play, I blog, I drive, I cook, I sleep and in the busyness of it all, I go about almost like a robot moving on auto-pilot.

Now that I’m closer to the other side because of my age group, I’ve started trying to live my life a bit differently.  I am trying more to be present to the moments.  I find myself wanting to linger over the small things, take in the wonder of it all and even at times---look for that miracle that is just in front of me.

I want to be wholly awake and open to the World. Open to Love and Laughter and Life….for so many years of my life..I’ve been afraid…afraid of what others will think…afraid I wasn’t smart enough or cute enough or worthy enough to be the real unique me.  I am now at a point…where I’m waking up to the truth…I am everything enough to offer all that I am to the world.  I want to feel.  I want to experience it all…sadness, joy, love, laughter, compartmentalization of these emotions is over…..no more eating them away…

   I am wiping the sleep from my eyes…yawning my last yawn.

Look out world  the radical southern girl---the sexy hot mama is waking up…..I don’t know what will happen next…but I promise you--a radical southern girl thinking and blogging and talking and living can and will change the world…a bit at a time.

Look out world.

Here I come!

On this rainy stormy Saturday…my wish for all of you…

WAKE UP…

Wake up and LIVE!!!!

Blessings and Hugs….
