your daily rock : listen to the message

April 27, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

We get so many messages. From our bodies, from our surroundings, from our intuition, from our places of deepest knowing. We know.

And yet we spend so much time denying that we know, denying that we need to reconsider or flee or embrace–whatever the message is, we shut it down.

It’s time to tune in to those messages. To hear, not merely listen, because as G.K. Chesteron said, “There’s a lot of difference between listening and hearing.”

What messages are you getting? About that volunteer opportunity or that new job–or about what your children are trying to tell you when they say, “Listen, Mama, listen!” Where do you hear those messages in your body?

Today, listen to the messages. Heed them.

Love,
