For the last two years all I want are heart related things and things in pink, red and white this time of year. I’ve never been that interested in Valentine’s Day in the past so I don’t know why I suddenly feel so attracted to these things but I’ve learned to just follow these little prompts. Last year this interest led me to dust off the book idea that resulted in the recent reprint of the book and the other goodies.
When I am being led I often feel an attraction to something–it’s something that I WANT to do. I am led through a sense of joy but I’ve learned there’s always something bigger behind it. It’s rather like following a trail of breadcrumbs (or cookie chunks for me). I’ve learned to trust it, not to judge it, and to follow it. When following our heart, the problem is often that we think we need to know the why and we don’t usually get the why until later. For example, you might really feel like you want to go shopping but your head might say that you don’t have money for shopping. If you follow it you might find that you meet someone, run into someone, see something that gives you an idea that leads you to the next step, or any number of things. There’s really no telling what it will look like.
Year’s ago I went through a period when I had zero money (and I mean nothing) but I was also having very profound spiritual experiences. I was staying at my father’s house one day and while cleaning the living room I saw a little red car park across the street. I felt a little nudge to go talk to the person in the car. I thought it was a bit crazy and had no idea why. Then I saw a “for sales” sign in the window.
I didn’t have a car and had no money for a car so I couldn’t imagine why I would inquire about this car but thought to myself, “Okay, if the license plate says JLL on it (my initials), I’ll go talk to this person.” I slowly walked down the driveway and when the license plate came into view it read JLL (with some numbers).
To make a long story short, I got the persons contact number and then forgot about it. Within a few days a friend who was traveling through town handed me check that covered the amount of the car and everything I needed to get it on the road. Like a sweet wink, on the way to the Secretary of State, there was another car in front of me with JLL on the license plate. I’ve never seen another car with JLL in the license plate since. I later used that little red car to start a business.
Note: When I write about following or listening to your heart, I never mean the romantic, sentimental heart. I mean that inner Voice, the inner Wisdom, your inner GPS. xo


For years, I feel like I have denied myself the wisdom of my heart. Slowly, I’m starting to pay more attention to that little voice. Thank you for your wisdom!!!
