Taking The Leap ~ Sometimes it feels like a lightning Strke

Brilliant
INTENSE
Scary at times
Mind Boggling
JOLTING
Riveting at times too
Great Changes can Sometimes Make you Feel like This
SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO #1 GODSON
GO BOBCATS IN RADFORD VIRGINIA WHERE
MY GODSON
D'Vante #51 TAKES THE FIELD TONIGHT
FOR FOOTBALL
GO BOBCATS!

I bought myself a bottle of suntan lotion this week... the kind that is an intensifier... yep just went right to the store in the dreary rain and purchased it...
then
Went outside and pointed it to the sky:
Holding it up proudly: showing it to the great sky
SHOUTING:
"See this??? Enough of the rain, the clouds, the dreariness already!!!
See this???
C'mon now... let's get the sun out here...
NOW
Well
fat lot of good that did me yesterday as the "scattering" continued into the night...
SO
this morning
I started my day with my thoughts and then
got my $10.00 bottle of intensifier and pointed it again
upward and said
"Ok, Ok, now... Let me show this to you again...
SUN SUN SUN C'MON NOW... SEE THIS BOTTLE
INTENSIFIER... C'MON NOW"
and
"Here comes the sun"

BUT
then the clouds and the grey came back...
and the scattering returned...

OK, so I'll get that lotion out there again, maybe I'll just sit it out and let it stay...
and ultimately
it will get the message to the Universe
that we have had enough rain...
Dancin in the rain, ok, I'll do that if I have to!

Thinking about changes today...
Read a funny thing on Facebook yesterday;
made me laugh so hard that I had to re-post it to friends!
It said:
"I'm making some changes in my life... so if you don't hear from me, you are among the changes being made"

Sometimes major changes come about when we are busy doing other things...
they can hit as powerfully as  lightning striking over the  waters of the ocean;
 sometimes they are awe-inspiring, having been thought through in great detail...
SOMETIMES
they are so intense and beautiful at the same time we can't look at it with a straight eye... it's almost too beautiful, too sacred... as if we are looking into something that we are not really suppose to see so straight on...
With great reverence with avert our eyes out of respect...
Are you feeling me here?

And
sometimes... you can be out in the yard weeding a garden, and a major life change just come over you,
JUST LIKE THAT
 (snap, it all comes together in that split moment)
(yes... you know who you are)_
and your life is changed forever more!
AND
that's when the adrenalin rushes and you feel it to your very core...
Your life takes on new urgency, new meaning, a quick pulse, a quick pace happens
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
you have to move, you know it is
"now or never"
an urgency of thunder/lightning 
that has moved
you into action!
It becomes a defining moment!
YOUR moment.
STOMP
Congratulations ~
You have just come into YOU
Your life
Your moment in time
Intense
Frightening
Exciting
Moving
Thrilling
OMG
Where to start/What to do/So much to consider
Step 1
Breathe
Step 2
Exhale
Step 3
Pat yourself on the back
Step 4
STOMP
STep 5
Leap and the Net Will Appear

the ship is setting sail but this time you are at the helm... What a fascinating journey you are about to take...
Master of your own destiny...
Responsible for laughs, tears, joys,
oh happy day

SEE IT RECEIVE IT BELIEVE IT
If someone can encourage you to reach...
REACH baby, reach for the moon... and look at the handful of stars you have right there in your hands...

Live well
Laugh so much your face hurts
and
OUTSHINE THE SUN

Now that's what I'm talkin about today!
Here's to your wildest dreams
and most powerful fearless realities

This type of moment is difficult to describe... hard to grasp if you have not ever experienced it first hand... It sort of reminds me of death in that way...
Unless you have
"walked the walk"
 you can't really
"talk the talk"
many who are regulars on this page will know exactly what I mean with that statement!
There are "defining moments" in our lives... those times when life takes on an entirely different meaning in our very "nervous system" in our hearts... a moment and time when
mind/body/spirit find their way to our very center and it is all lined up as the great Universe means for it to be
In balance/in harmony
Usually borne out of necessity, out of great sorrow, near death experience,
(out of attending Tony Robbins seminars for some even)
or
out of a true recognition that this is YOUR LIFE
your time to live the life you want, the life that you dream and desire...
STOMP
Have you ever been so moved by music, a sunset, an experience that it takes your very breath away?
So moved by bearing witness to someone's else that you find you have trouble speaking/goose bumps on the arms/head/inside and out?
So touched by the human condition that there are no other things in the world you can compare it to?
Have you ever stood in total amazing grace?
Have you ever hit your knees and felt the wetness of your tears as you humbly said
"thank you"?
and

in the time it takes to hear the thunder roll
YOU SEE THE PROFOUNDNESS OF THE LIGHTNING FLASH ACROSS THE BLACK SKY
and in that very moment
you know in your heart, your spirit, your soul

There's a Change goin to come!

YOU are the CHANGE
Sometimes in that moment:
That very instant, you know as no one will ever know
that the CHANGE IS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
and it is that very moment
that things will never be the same
YOU have taken the first step or the leap
to a new journey
in a new light!
IT is your Defining moment if you know what I'm talking about!
And your life has just taken on new meaning and new dimensions beyond your wildest imaginations...
STOMP

Right there with you. Life changing events... Have set out several times on that path and am here in this moment because I had the courage to do so. Time changes us, life changs us,sowhy not be our own change agent? I have taken great leaps of faith quite a few times, mostly enoyed the outcome, a few times not. Never settle.... Make it what your want it to be. Great read. Thanks Doc.

You lead with such beautiful photos, day after day. Todays photo speaks of shock,power and awe. Sometimes thats what it takes to make important changes. Some change sneaks up on us, some jolts us into a better future. I pefer the BIG BANG theory of change. Multicolored, many faceted, explosive change accompianied by a brass band. Cymbals crashing.
Just feels good all over. Why do we let ourselves get so stuck?
