WORDS OF WISDOM FOR DAWN


There comes a time in life when things seem to shift from what you thought or knew was important to actually what is. How in the world from birth does this perception change?  Well for one as a child we come into this world and our excitement and exuberance is focused on just being. We allow ourselves to act silly and do whatever we want without thinking twice.  I remember those days and I really do miss them alot.  You really didn’t have to sit and think if you were going to do it you did it with no looking back.
So when did the restrictions and the belonging come into play? 

One word that I can think of is SOCIETY!

As a child I was told before crossing the street I had to look both ways just in case a vehicle was coming.  I literally would as we all were perched on the curb turning our heads to the left and right determining if we were going to cross or not.  Ok I got it and got good at it too in regards to vehicles but what about the things in life that could run you over?  What about unexpected, the unknown, the things that could creep up on you and hit you out of nowhere? 

At this time in my life that is what I would have hoped to have learned about but as in all things there is a reason why.  If you know ahead of time then your action or reaction would not be organic.  It would be pre-empted and scripted and for me that is not how life is supposed to be.  Hey, I am no dummy once you touch a hot stove you know not to put your hand near it again right?  So you find a way to adjust and maybe find a towel or an actual potholder to assist you in what you wanted to do.  You altered your plan, you opened your mind and you created a new way. 
 
It is at those times that I look back and smile and say you know Dawn you didn’t give up you opened your mind and you shifted your energy in a new direction.  Those are the lessons that I wish was taught in school a “Life Class” how not to use the word CAN’T.  That word is something when I was a child I heard so much “oh Dawn you can’t do, become, or try”!  And just in case you are wondering this was not at home but at school!  Well my mind is telling me I can so who’s with me.  But the WORLD or SOCIETY is telling me hmmm… you can’t.  I can only laugh because for a very tall skinny little girl my mind was made up and I knew I could!  And guess what it may not have been in the material world but in my mind I was that archeologist and I went on those digs to discover the many treasures of the world.  You know what that is called IMAGINATION!!!  My Imagination was and still is one of my best friends!  It kept me entertained and never told me I couldn’t do anything.  It was always there for me to make a way…always! 

So as I celebrate another year of life I will remember the good times and the not so good times.   I will always be thankful to the higher power for my existence.  I will continue to be grateful to the universe for listening to me while gazing at the starts telling you how my life will be.  Just recently I have found out the power of two of the coolest words…I AM!

You can put anything behind it and it will begin to shape your world believe me I know.  Use it as if you are playing a game to begin to ignite the spark of creativity and life inside of your being.  Let your inner child take over and go wacky with the notion of these two words!

I AM… DAWN

Nowhere on my list is there the word can’t…just think about it and relish in the positivity and the electricity in the deliciousness of life.  From what I am told there are no restrictions in my ability to be.  I came into this world being and knowing that I have this deep feeling of I was going to be “famous”!  But now when I think about it that wasn’t the right word but who knew I was a child back then.  The word that I will use right now is “VIABLE” (able to be done or worth doing) ~ Thanks Encarta Dictionary (wink another good friend of mine)!  Because with that I know that I am focusing on being viable to the world.  All of my actions and words are going to worthwhile.  I will no longer allow my being to be saturated by negativity (words, people or actions).  Or the nonsense of someone telling me that I can’t do something ever again… My first phase of life at times seemed like I was feeling my way around as if I had on a blindfold.  And as I began to tune into to whom “I Am” I began to become brave and peak from under the blindfold. The first time of course I had such a nervous feeling that would give me goose bumps.  Then as I began to build up my strength it got easier lifting it for longer period of times.  But what was the most challenging was actually me deciding that I no longer needed the blindfold to shield me from the who, what, when and where’s of the world.  As I gained strength in my eyes that were once weak are now refreshed and refocused.  It gave me a new perspective a new way of seeing and doing.  Believe me it wasn’t that easy but who said it needed to be.
 
I had a friend (JU) ask me at this time in my life would I rather have gone through the hard times when I was younger as in the first ½ of life or now as I begin my second phase of life…hmmm?  Deep question and I never really thought about it that way BUT...My answer to him was in the first ½ of life so that now I can see with my eyes and not viewing it from others perceptions of what they wanted me to be or be influenced by! 

What would your answer be?
When you think about how vast life is we are energy and energy is a power how we can not feel the energy of life.

I can’t tell you how to feel or be but what I can give you is the truth on Dawn…

At this time in my life I have grown to appreciate who Dawn is and why I was named Dawn…As in the Sunrises every day, you will always see the Dawn in the morning and she will always set at night.  The Sun is a form of light, the warmth on your skin on a hot summer’s day…  It appears with such brilliance as it rises above to shine its light on the world! 
 
WOW that’s me and that is sooooooo amazing!
Another good friend (Hi Peri) told me to OWN IT to know who I am and walk in that light!  To be Dawn with all of the essence that beholds the sun!  I said ok I can do that but OMG did I not realize just what it was to own Dawn…Man she is filled with knowledge that is given from above.  You have a lot who are not receptive to the words but you have some that are light filled that embraces her. I know I am the spirit within and I see how it is to be.  In no way am I saying that I am better than anyone as we are all unique.  But, the uniqueness of being Dawn is that she has the coolest inner child, spirit guides and guardian angels that are with her everywhere she goes.  That is not a hypothetical that is a fact and if you believe you know that you have a team as well. 

So all your life you had a desire….dream…a vision
So when does the magic begin
When do you step out on that invisible ledge and take the leap
When do you say Yes to yourself
When do you believe
Do you keep giving excuses
Does your dream have a timestamp
When will it expire
When will you begin to implement
Hmmm….I know maybe tomorrow
The time isn’t right
I have too much to do
So and so has done it before
We have too many original people in the world
Hmmm…I really don’t have time

Well I have said that as well ~ all of the above.  You think I just share these things with you as an experiment?  NO all of this comes from above and it is channeled through me so who do you think would have experience this  HELLO ~ Dawn
Which leads to the Truth ~ as in living your truth?  I have been chosen and this is my purpose.   It is my passion that drives me in the silence of the night.  The words that dance around in my head when put onto paper are a sheer Symphony of Life. 
The sweet sounds of a whisper that gently caresses your mind and allows your being to let go and feel the energy from above.  To say out loud that I am here, this is your purpose and this is your gift back to the world. 

I will tell you at first the chatter was so strong I had no idea and it was constant.  But once I was given instructions to silence the spirit and listen not just with my ears but my entire being I was brought into the light of life.

A Luminance of a Dawn!
