I wrote a while back about An Accidental Apprenticeship to a Mountaintop. I have deepened my commitment. It has become An Intentional Apprenticeship to a Mountaintop!
Two springs ago, I received the message that this Homestead, this Mountaintop was waiting for me to "Show Up". I also knew I wasn't ready to show up in the way it Needed me to.
I had more to Learn, more to Release, more Healing and Wholing to do within myself. Unknowingly, I had entered into a time of learning to Receive.
I have learned to Receive...
...Gratitude from others for what I offer this world and the folks I interact with.
...Love in its many forms. Most importantly from my Partner in the form of Total support of this path I have taken on.
...Things Folks are so willing to give stuff like hay, manure, plants, eggs...etc. A Hand Up rather than a Hand Out...
...A Window into my World
I think this was the most valuable. I have been given the gift of seeing myself through others eyes. I've been given stories and photos, songs and works of art...all representing the impacts I have had in their lives.
I have Received solid Grounding in Myself... and in Be-ing part of a Whole. I have become aware of the ebb and flow of the All.
Self value has been and continues to be something I struggle with. Learning to Receive has aided me more along that journey than anything else and much more than I ever anticipated was possible.
I have been a very independent woman for my whole life. My Self-Worth was previously defined by how much I didn't need anyone. By how much I could give without needing to take. It was a troublesome Illusion.
In learning to Receive I have learned to offer help to others with a whole new level of compassion, a new level of purpose.
I have crossed a Bridge into a Greater Truth... of Unity.
All that is needed to continue the passion is to decide you are worthy and proceed. Jaime Sams
Back to the Present
This Spring has me answering the call to "Show Up"
I have been receiving messages that the time is now.
I am fully engaged in experiencing this journey which is unfolding before me.
I am willing to take on the labels that my Soul recognized, but until recently my shoulders didn't feel strong enough ...or worthy enough to carry.
I am a Healer...
My medicine looks like me... feels just like me... Is ME! Its a perfect fit!
I am a Facilitator...
I have the gift of getting folks to show up... in physical space, and beyond.
I am a Caretaker...
This mountaintop has gifts to offer to those that visit. I act as caretaker of this Sacred Space so others may come and experience what they are meant to.
I practice the Art of Hospitality... that's another post!
I have Shown Up... Fully, Humbly, Ready to Love and Be Loved...
Let the Future Unfold.
