Planning for a successful transition in Life.

At the time that I decided I wanted to start this Blog the decision for me to retire was just taking form.  There was still two years of my career remaining before I would be eligible for this privilege.  Knowing that staying active and finding a passion in my life would be key to a successful transition I began to layout plans for success.

Studying and learning French was already part of my weekly routine and one day I picked up a book that piqued my interest about niche blogging;  I new instantly that blogging would fit nicely into my long term goals.  Getting my blog site up and running was accomplished with relative ease and soon I was writing posts.  Two months later I stopped posting to focus on my career and family, I knew the seed had been planted and it would one day begin to grow.

Reflection on Life

You will notice that an 18 month gap exists between “Apple Seedlings” and the previous post.  Reflecting on that time period I am grateful for everything that transpired because it has all led me to where I am today.

Heureusement situé dans ma vie.     ( Happily situated in my life. )

Purposeful Perseverance

There where many challenging events that occurred during that time and in the end I discovered through purposeful perseverance that joy and happiness prevails.

Persévérance Tenace.    ( Purposeful Perseverance. )

Joie et bonheur.     ( Joy and Happiness. )

Is purposeful perseverance a part of your manifestation process?  Leave a comment and relate your story.

Nourishing the Seeds Within.

Every living thing on this earth needs nourishment to survive, it is one of the fundamentals of life.  Ones best eating habits should strive to include eating “close to the sun”, meaning in short whole foods, one of my favorites are fresh apples.  This wondrous fruit engages all of the senses; first off is the sight of the spherical fruit, its delicious color captures your attention while you hold it curled in the palm of your hand with your fingers gripped tightly around its circumference.  Anticipating the sensation of its taste stimulated by its color you sink your teeth into the skin and hear the snap as the skin is penetrated, and then there is the aroma as the juices are released into the air.

Nous devrions manger près du soleil.        ( We should eat close to the sun. )

One way that I enjoy this treat is to cut it in half and make four angular cuts in each half to core the apple.  The core is destined for the compost bin while the meat of the fruit will be for my delightful enjoyment.  It is this coring experience, which I have performed many times throughout my life, that I want to share.  Very recently this process revealed quite a surprise for me;  As I separated the two halves there before me were three whole seeds that I had managed to avoid with the knife blade.  The surprise was that they each had spouted a single root system one half inch in length with the seed pod still attached to one end.

Being aware that events occur in my life as indicators of the path that I am on, I gazed and pondered for a moment and then realized these rooted seeds were a symbol of confirmation of my own internal feelings.  Two years ago I started designing a new lifestyle for myself; I had recently become aware, through analyzing my internal emotions and feelings, that the seeds which I had sown inside myself have also rooted.   Seeing this symbolism as “being on track” with my purpose,  I felt gratitude for this awareness.  I will continue to nourish these seeds within, watering and feeding them so that they will germinate and blossom.

Gratitude pour avoir conscience de l’expérience.        ( Experience gratitude for having awareness. )

The three apples seedlings are now happily situated in a small pot in our kitchen where they will remain while I water and feed them until they are ready for outside planting.

Je suis heureusement situé  dans ma vie.            ( I am happily situated in my life.   )

Have you listened to your inner wisdom and have a story we can enjoy?
