A Simpler Way Awaits…

A Simpler Way awaits…
Marla Dee in Southern Utah
Do you resist change? Do you long to create something new, yet hold back? Have you ever had to receive multiple messages from the Universe to step forward? I will be honest with you. I have resisted Blogging for months now. Everything about it feels complicated to me. Just thinking about it throws me in a dozen different directions and I hear my mind scream …
- I am not a writer
- This will take too long
- What will I say
- There is too much to learn
- I won’t do it right
- On and on and on it goes…
I have let myself take time to walk through the many layers of resistance until I could land in a peaceful, grounded space that was free of mental clutter. I kept hearing the Universe whisper back to me, “Marla, just BE a messenger.” Could it be that simple? Could it possibly BE enough to just sit down at my desk, in my sweet home office and write a message to you? In this moment my whole body, mind and spirit can say YES to this new creation.
I just got to spend this last weekend in Southern Utah – in the beautiful little town of Torrey at the Red Rock Women’s Music Festival. I had given up on the idea of going – life was too busy for personal play time. But after a morning meditation when I took the time to really surrender all my resistance, I got a phone call within 30 minutes from my favorite place to stay – Pine Shadow Cabins (www.pineshadowcabins.net) telling me there was a cabin waiting for me. The whole trip then fell into place. I had the time of my life. And I came home realizing that I was finally ready to start speaking – that I had a message I was bursting to share.
- I am a Messenger
- This can be Simple
- I have something meaningful to say
- My way is perfect for me
I invite you in this moment to center and ask what is waiting for you? I ask, what have you been resisting? What keeps showing up in front of you as a message from the Universe that only you can create? Is it writing a letter, going for a long hike, organizing your paper, creating a vision board, getting an animal, or just taking a time out from a packed life?
Here are the STEPS to the Simpler Way:
- Surrender your resistance
- Let yourself say YES to the new
- Ask yourself – what is the first step?
- Lastly, let the Universe support you
Isn’t it time you just let go and showed up for your life?
I will share pictures and stories from my adventure on Facebook – I hope to hear back from you as well on what you create. Your friend – Marla Dee
