FOUND MY RIVER

awarded for finding a peaceful personal connection To a Power Greater than Yourself while making room for others to do the same

Found My River’s Message:

How you access the energy that lights you up to awaken and activate all you have to give, be, enjoy and express, is beautifully personal.

The Spiritual Journey is worth the trip.

Building your own boat is worth your time.

As we set sail, we realize that we are not in control of everything and there is clearly something greater than ourselves powering the wind.

Sometimes you can choose the embarkation time and itinerary.

Sometimes that time chooses you and you must swim for your life.

You didn't expect the water to feel so good. 

You didn't even know you were that thirsty, until you weren't anymore.

And then you took a big, long drink from that cup and were rehydrated.

And you remembered that it's supposed to feel good to you.

That it should refresh and cleanse your soul from the inside out. 

Sometimes you are born into your river with everyone you love sailing on the same ship. 

What a wonderful feeling. 

And sometimes you have to jump ship and swim for your life, refusing to mistake a man-made lake for a river.

How brave of you. 

Or maybe you found your river while being tossed out to sea.

The current may have taken you down a river so filled with rapids and boulders that you had no idea how you'd ever survive.

You thought...

“What if I go under? 

What if I stay under? 

What happens if I drown? 

Hey, why didn't I drown?”

Or maybe you did drown, but didn't die.

You were visibly alone, yet you were not alone invisibly.

You know you were invisibly, powerfully protected and guided to shore. 

You came up for air and now row your boat differently. 

What Benevolent Divine Force came to deliver you?

When you came to the edge of yourself, what pulled you up from under? 

Whatever you call it, it's real. 

Let's get way less interested in what we call it.

Let's let people find their rivers.

Let’s let ourselves change water vessels when appropriate.

You may be on an ocean liner for years and then the time comes to disembark. Taking an ocean liner down that stream will not work.

It won’t even fit.

You realize, you need a kayak for that.

Later on, you might need A pontoon party boat. Who knows?

This Soul Success Medal for Humanity is earned by those who row their boats their own way on their rivers of choice and resonance.

They have also learned to make space for how others need to navigate the water. They have found threads of common ground and have made room at the inn.

These are not the nitpickers, but the big-hearted researchers. They’ve realized just because the words are spoken in a language they don't speak, doesn’t mean it has no meaning or value to those speaking it.

When they found something that seemed odd, scary or frankly, not in alignment for them, they did a little research and found the beliefs and motivations behind the actions and rituals.

They then either found a translation in their own spiritual language or, upon reflection, found compassion…remembering previous languages they used to speak ages or lifetimes times ago.

Because Spirit always speaks the directions for your next stage of evolution in a way you can best hear based on who you are, where you are and your current language of motivation.

Congratulations to all who have found their way to the ocean and back while leaving room for others to navigate accordingly.

If you have earned or are earning this Soul Success Medal for Humanity, please place your hand on your heart and claim it for yourself.
