Creative Connections in the Air

On this most recent trip to LA, I didn't have too much of an agenda....I realized quickly in the time leading up to my departure for California that plans really are not what they used to be....as the energies have shifted, so has our concept and sense of time and space. Which in essence alters our ability to make solid plans! My original "plan" was to leave for the south shortly after Canadian Thanksgiving. As things continued to shift, beyond any sense of "control", I chose to completely surrender to the flow of whatever was occurring and allowed the magic of each moment to unfold perfectly in that time and space.

And as always, when we surrender the beauty of each moment, the most incredible gifts arrive! I was honoured to meet many new clients, I connected with a few new soul family girls, I reconnected with an old love in a new way which lead to the opening of my sleeping creative center, I spent valuable time with family and had the opportunity to really just surrender and be with whatever was going to unfold next, without expectation!

So....5 weeks after the "projected" departure date, I boarded the plane and arrived at LAX on November 17! Friends there were asking, "So, what are your plans while you are here? What do you want to accomplish?" In that moment, I honestly answered, "Hmmm, I don't know. I'm just open to the flow of the energy. There are a few things I would like to do. For the most part, I am remaining open to just flow, let be and see what unfolds."

In the first few days of arrival I felt my being adjusting, getting grounding to being in a different space again. Change tends to do that to most of us. So I just allowed myself time to be, go to yoga, take in the ocean, sleep and just observe the space I was in. As I became more and more centered, I clearly could feel the space of stagnation I had been existing in. I wasn't aware of this creative stagnation while I was back in Toronto because I was in it. Which again, is often the case....when we are in the thick of it, we often don't see clearly until we step out, into the unknown and begin to take a birds-eye view or perspective of our life.

As I cleared through the feeling of stagnation and creative blocks, I began to feel lighter and lighter. As I moved through the moments of life I was shown and given experiences to expand upon with regards to writing! The creative process literally blew open! I'm almost finished the writing of one book and started two others as the channel was pouring through me so effortlessly now! I completed the recording a meditation CD, which was so much fun! I connected with others regarding conscious-based projects! It was such a wonderful feeling!

As the journey in LA continued to flow, as did my creativity. I felt more and more radiant. More full. Less of a need to fill with "fillers" - false nourishment. What my body and being was really "craving" was creative flow - the energy and ability to express my life force through me and share it with others! In stepping into this place, I feel a surge of energy and resonance like never before. I feel refreshed, renewed, alive, radiant! And in this openness to receive and express me - fully - becoming more of me, I naturally, without having to do anything, just became it!!

Light! Radiance! Shinning!

Shinning even in times when I didn't feel so shinny. People still sensed it. It's an interesting thing...energy and what we project...especially when we become more of something. People can feel it, sense it even when we think we aren't being that. It's amazing! It showed me the power of energy and light. It really does continue to shine for us - like a reserve, an auto-pilot reserve of energy and light!

People were commenting:
"There's just something about you, you shine."
"You radiant, did you realize that?"
"Your smile is so bright."
"You light people up."
"I sensed something different in you. You glow."

From the beginning of this trip to the return home, there was definitely an opening and realization regarding light projection and creativity and the magic that occurs when we choose to express our unique creative spark!

For example, on my way to Canada I had about 4 hrs of sleep, had been in transit all day, feeling tired and slightly out of it from the frenetic energy at the airports. I wasn't feeling my radiant self and yet I had two incredible, light-filled interactions with two beautiful souls!

The first person, while waiting to board the plane, I felt drawn to. I could sense her essence. I had a feeling we would end up having a conversation. Sure enough, we end up sitting beside each other on the plane! With an open seat between us! We get to talking and she says, "You just have the most radiant smile. I was drawn to it." I share with her how I was drawn to her energy also, she was shinning. We continue to share our stories about life, light, connecting. She, too, very spiritual, with many similarities to my own path. Together, sharing, we radiated. As the plane landed we say how wonderful it was to meet one another, bless each other on our continued paths, and part ways. Such an open-hearted, beautiful encounter!

The second bit of magic occurred while waiting for my connecting flight, in Denver, with a 4-hour layover and gate change three times. Sitting, waiting, feeling good, a little tired and bored. In the crowd of people, all irritated, waiting for the delayed planes, a man walks over to me and asks if this was the connecting gate for Ottawa. We laugh, knowing that it had changed several times in 4 hrs and I had checked the board several times to make sure I was in the right place. As it turns out, I was! I was exactly where I needed to be in that exact moment to connect with the particular person....I just didn't know why yet.....

I noticed his ease and ability to just be, anywhere...sitting on the floor waiting for his charger to finish. In the stillness I tuned into his energy and sensed that he was a part of the music industry somehow. We finally begin boarding the plane and "happen" to be standing beside each other. We start sharing again and sure enough, it turns out he was in LA finishing the production of an album! I share in his excitement with my own with the completion of my meditation CD recording! He continues to tell me that he owns a recording label! And so, the conversation flows on as we talk LA, music, life, healing, travel, the importance of life, expansion and creativity! We share who we are, what we do, what we're working on, the interconnectedness of all things, how like souls can see and recognize like souls. He sensed that there was something different about me. That there was a strong light that he could see in me, that I exude.....and that that was the reason he approached me regarding the gate. I shared with him my reciprocation in sensing his light and creativity.

It was so incredible to have this recognition chat! Two beings seeing each other, supporting one another in our creativity and expression! Which further opened the door to me sharing where I want to go and do next with regards to music and expression!

I sensed between us that we would work together on some creative project at some point. I felt it. We both agreed that we just never know where we intersect and will connect again and who knows who...it's all so elaborate and interconnected! He passes along his business info and mentions for me to get in touch the next time I'm down in LA...that they often gather at the beach, between Santa Monica and Malibu, for a bonfire and jam session!  I love it! I love this sort of thing!! All these creative beings - alive, expressing, sharing, open, gathering, radiant!

Before going our "separate" ways we thank each other for sharing and wish each other well on our respective paths once again...like old friends bidding farewell until next time!

We never really know what's in store for us or what is around the corner! It's when we open to the flow of all things, stand in our creative center and take a courageous step into the unknown that all things align and we draw to us people, places and scenarios that further open and expand us and our heart on so many magical levels!!!!

I love it!!!
