Long Time, No Blog

From the WordPress Blog Musings, Rants and Raves 9/7/2010

Long time, no blog! (No rolling the eyes please…) No, you are not seeing things, promise. No world, physical or otherwise, has frozen over. The last time I looked, no animals have unexpectedly sprouted wings to fly over the horizon.  I am here with a new blog!
It was never my intention to let things go so long, but as the popular saying goes: Life is what happens when you are making other plans!! I could go on with a long list of things that have taken place over the last several months. It started with getting sick for over a month back in late March, early April. Suffice it to say that I have learned that my body has a wisdom all its own and if I would just listen to it, I would have a much easier time of it. Just let me say that when the body tells you to go to the doctor, there are to things to keep in mind: one,  if you get a message to voluntarily go to the doctor, you really do need to go and two, get out the door and go already!!
The whole "listen to my body" thing used to fill me with dread but I think that is because it wasn't really the body talking but the ego. C'mon, would your body really tell you that it really is ok to eat a few cream filled donuts for breakfast on a regular basis? I don't think so. Funny thing is, as I work to clear and heal by baggage, it becomes easier to tell what is really guiding me. It is my choice to decide if I follow that guidance.
Having said that, I find it interesting that it is much easier to listen to that negative, ego side than to listen to the higher divine voice. I often wonder why it is we seem to be so enamored of the less than divine. Perhaps it is due to the more traditional religious view that we are depraved, immoral creatures, unworthy of divine favor. Or, is it just that it is easier to go along with that voice that says we are "less than" instead of digging deeper and realizing that being peaceful, happy and/or joyful is not something to be afraid of? I don't have an answer but I do know that over the last several months I have found the value in asking the question.
Namaste Friends!
