Present and Connected

When your soul chakra is aligned with the stars and the moon, you will be directed to your life's purpose. Salt water will brace you through this journey. - CCN  Last year around this time I dove into a journey that opened me up in so many levels, which showed me again, how amazing this life is. Teachers appeared I didn't even know I was looking for and I just went with it, made a commitment to myself to grow and learn from what life may bring at me. Choosing to see things as a gift rather than an obstacle to overcome, I embraced life in its fullest. This shift in consciousness ended the resentment I felt towards my father for years and allowed me to have a relationship based on loving kindness with him. I'm so grateful that through this shift I spent the last months of his life with him in love and acceptance.

Something Carrie-Anne Moss said in her interview with Lewis Howes in The School of Greatness podcast (another high recommendation!) last year about Living Mindfully.
