The Nudge

Whispers on the wind. A gentle nudge from your Guardian Angel, Spirit Guide, or the Holy Spirit. The inner directive of your Higher Power, or Higher Self. The still, small, quiet Voice that knows the way. It’s never loud, but it is persistent. It directs you where to go. And it always feels like love. 

But sometimes love can be terrifying. Sometimes it resembles a bit of shove.

I wonder… has a gentle whisper on the wind ever felt like a jolt or a wake-up call for you?

Sometimes we fear that which feels like love because it is outside of the known, beyond our comfort zone. And The How is not always visible. Love is not always soft and squishy. 

Love tends to be brutally honest. But that truth also leads to the freedom to be our true selves, to live as the authentic version of us. And that liberation to live our authentic grand design is love in motion. 

When Spirit asks us to leave our security zone, it can feel like the ground is being snatched out from beneath us. That’s where faith comes in. We walk by faith, not by sight. We take a step and then the bridge appears. Not before. The Nudge can feel more like a shove in a scary direction, but no path yet exists. You have to create it by taking a step and leaving a footprint.

The tonic, distilled to three simple things for today, in specific order: The Nudge. Take a small step in faith. Then the path appears.
