When you notice your purpose, it’s a very neat feeling. As we journey down our path, we understand that it is for a reason. We know what our passion is and we know we’re on this route, but when it hits, that’s the most extraordinary excitement. You’re now heard and seen. Everything you’ve been working on comes to light.

Helping a Student

As I offered the solution of what a youngster should say to other classmates when they question her speech or lower reading level, her face just lit up! It was a wonderful sight! All my teaching experiences as a reading teacher and everything I learned teaching in resource came together at that moment. My continuous effort down my pathway showed why I had to learn all those pieces of knowledge. I learned all that to help others and to see my passion work in the world.

You’re the Seed

When my guru (when I say guru I mean my bff) and I discuss signs we see, feelings that came up, and the moment an emotion let go of us, we help each other understand some of the things happening. I told her that the conference where I saw Matt Kahn, spiritual leader/healer, in Encinitas was online. Before he begins, I explained to her how he asks where everyone’s from. I am always in amazement to hear that people traveled from Australia, UK, and Italy. But when I stated to her that only a few of us raised our hand to show we’re from Encinitas, CA, she replied with such loving excitement that it’s the case because we’re the seeds. I’m the seed to share responses with the utmost kindness and in the most loving way.

The Pathway

If you take time to stop and look, you’ll be able to acknowledge your pathway. Look at the long journey where you struggled with students who were frustrated and you had to help them find peace. Notice all the times you asked the universe for help and you were sent email videos that were exactly what you needed. Recall how you listened repeatedly to certain talks only to be inspired to write blogs that in turn helped others on the other side of the world and those you used to hang out with as a child. As you recognize all those wonderful points in your experience, you’ll truly understand that you were always seeking information for your passion of helping others.

My Passion is Seen

In the past, I can see how I wasn’t seen. I would speak and show my feelings, nonetheless, I still felt like I was in a room banging but no one heard me. Now, I feel the total opposite. Because I practiced knowing that I had to go through something to get to the other side, I relentlessly moved forward. I was similar to a caterpillar in its chrysalis when I was in the darkness waiting to become the butterfly.

Go with the Shift

 Since the shift in the world, I see the shift in me. When I see butterflies around me, they are a sign from someone but also the wonderment of what happens when we stay in darkness with our stuff. Some of our stuff is hard and makes us cry. But as we sit in it, they will release us. These beautiful flying beauties always make me realize that they are dancing in the fact that they noticed their path and are simply celebrating. Through all the hard times, they made it and now get to be here for those of us who need a sign. Their purpose of making others feel happy is complete.

Notice Your Path

As I feel the shift, the more I see my signs. However, sometimes I question them. During my walks I can see a few signs to all mine from hummingbirds, hawks, to yellow and monarch butterflies. It is humorous that the more I question the sign, the more they come around. I was nearly pushed over by a monarch I believe actually trying to give me a butterfly kiss. (You must watch Wayne Dyer’s video where he talks about the butterfly he met in Hawaii.) Even the Florida plates from a friend who passed who lived there. Really, I see these plates all the way out here in CA? That is the moment that my heart seems to fizzle. Warmth is felt and a big smile comes to my face.

The Signs are Real

If you have to ask, it was a real sign. Why do we do that all the time? We know it’s their sign to us, but we keep questioning it. However, take this advice to heart and begin to let it settle in your heart that they are all always signs. Once I started letting the impossible possible, it all shifted for me. When I let it in as truth, it opened up a whole new space for me. This is the space where I’ve found my confidence to let all my experience come out and help others. That’s the connection; that is the process.

The Connection

When you follow your pathway, moments come to use your experience to help others. It’s your frequency. There’s the connection. As you allow the signs and acknowledge them, your connecting space will open up. When I’m in this space, it is a feeling of being aligned with all things. I watch my helpful moments put a smile on someone’s face. My simple loving responses to those around me flood out and I may even see it change someone for a split second.

As you look around, hearts around you will start to open up to become friendlier and you may even see others wonder why this is happening. As Kyle Cease says in his video Switching Timelines, “As you’re connected to you, what are you doing? You’re holding space for the new world. This is one of the reasons why you’re here, to embody and hold space. Be one of the first who acts as butterflies on the planet as people are going into their cocoon.” 

Enjoy Your Journey

Be the butterfly for others and be the seed for your community. When others see the example, they follow. As you speak and are heard, others hear you and flourish by your words. Since you walk in your path learning from your experiences, others will take notice and do the same. Show others that being in their darkness will lead to greater things. Let others watch you grow which in turn triggers them to do the same. Acknowledge your purpose, peek back at your pathway, and move forward as an example of why we are here.
