Saturday Morning Thoughts & Links: The Magic of Uncertainty

This morning I feel like I’ve come home, back to a space that I haven’t been in for a while, a wide-open, welcoming, warm, loving and creative space.

Earlier this week, I decided I was going to be the Me who has a magical life. From there, I came easily and effortlessly back to BelleEnchanted. And I haven’t looked back since. It’s like opening up a treasure trove of unexpected and delightful discoveries.

This, then, is the magic of uncertainty. I’m getting this on a far deeper level than ever before. The magic, the synchronicity, the thrill of the unexpected – they all come from uncertainty. And so I am here, heart wide open, resting as consistently as possible in this identity.

This week’s links to treasure, visit, enjoy, delve in:

  • Jessie’s post was such a great reminder for me that my work, even though it’s not yet what I want to be doing with my life, is so very good to me. I am filled with gratitude for the lifestyle it brings me, the enormous chunks of time I can spend not-working, and these days, even the very interesting things I discover as I work. I’ve spent far too long pushing against it. I can (and do) accept it now while knowing at the same time that in my acceptance I am shifting towards something different and so wonderful.
  • Rowena has such a lovely post on intention, and it seems to me that my online browsing is starting to feel like a part of Dreamwalking, too. Intention is never far from my thoughts, and it was wonderful to see her painting and read her words:

    Being an artist is about committing to art. Just like being a writer is about committing to writing. You are an artist if you make art. You are a writer if you write. Period, really, no matter if you never get a cent from it or no one ever likes your work or even sees it.

  • I found this beautiful video, The Artist’s Creed, at Mixed Grill Favorites:

    Again, more Dreamwalking. The me I’m choosing to be is constantly expanding and evolving, with the grace of uncertainty.

  • Shayne is Grateful: a gorgeous gratitude journal in the form of a photoblog. Very inspiring.
  • Porn for Women. I had to laugh (Ward, are you reading this?). It’s another reminder of all that’s wonderful in my life. I don’t think there’s a single thing in the list that isn’t a part of my relationship right now – well, okay, maybe not the shoe shopping one, but I have everything else!

This week, one question that I will keep asking myself is, “where am I putting my faith”? The following quote from Realities is a perfect way to end this post:

How ready we seem to believe and fear the worst, to have faith in unwanted rather than fulfilling outcomes. In such cases, uncertainty is a giant step toward alignment; it loosens the grip of the daunting conclusion and opens us to believing and receiving something better.
