Nourishment for our souls can come from an alive word, an image or a fresh place. I found such nourishment last week while on holiday in San Miguel de Allende, an artist colony in central Mexico. An Alive Word as Guide On New Years Eve, while walking in the center of town, I spontaneously asked my husband, Michael, "What do you see for us in 2016?" Without hesitating, he replied, with a simple and clear vision. "We work together while traveling" His words were numinous for me- they glowed and sparkled. My intuition could see and feel the vision. Traveling internationally, we could speak, do workshops, Skype sessions, and I could share my traveling paintings. Immediately the words, "Drs. Longworth & Samko" a title for this inner image, arose within me. I saw our webpage! Those alive words, "Drs. L & S", now anchor a part of the butterfly of our own becoming as a couple for 2013. Now those vibrant words can guide us in the transition we will go through this year to manifest it. Naming has power! See it, name it, create it. What will be your guiding word or image for 2016? Happy Holidays with Joy, Love & Peace! Hope you are healthy and happy as you transition into 2017 My counseling clients continue to amaze me as they move through transitions into new chapters of their lives. I watch their personal symbols become tools to help them authentically navigate life changes. One of my favorite quotes is: "The soul never thinks without a picture." ~ Aristotle |
