Opening to the Wonder 💞

Jessica Otieno | FEB 26, 2023

This past week took me out of my routine. I travelled to Barcelona Spain together with my daughter and several of her school mates, teacher, and several parents. 33 kids and 14 adults all together on the trip, joined by 2 MCI guides who remained with us the entire time, 1 local guide with us most every day, several bus drivers, numerous other temporary (short-term) guides, waitstaff, hotel staff, and countless others who in one way or another supported our ability to carry out this adventure.

Do you ever really stop to think about, realize how many “others” play a role in your adventures, excursions, or even in your daily life? How many people happen to just be in the right place at the right time to play their role in your journey? How each moment was actually intelligently designed and crafted months or years before this moment? How divine each actual interaction with another truly is, or how each of our own journeys are so intimately intertwined? You are exactly where you are supposed to be. The question is: how awake and aware are you in this very moment to it all?

We are constantly receiving messages – many more than we realize if we are actually paying attention. The comment your friend made that gave you the realization about something happening in your own life. The story from the guide/teacher/colleague that hits your heart strings and makes you want to challenge your own status-quo. The marketing sign which changes every few minutes, but you happened to see it when it said just the right thing. The world and universe is much more connected than we like to believe, in the collective. And there is magic in opening up to the possibility of what could be, the possibility of divine intelligence trying to guide us, if we would just stop rationalizing it away.

The biggest challenge for me has been to first, pause to realize/notice/listen to these messages, then second, to TRUST them. Are they giving me every answer to every question? No. Are they giving me life’s secrets? Not necessarily, at least not in the way our logical brain thinks about it. Are they giving me clear, exact directions for my next move? Also, not in the way our logical brain wants to see it. What they have provided thus far is… a subtle hint, a suggestion, an invitation, or even a validation. They have usually been small, even tiny nudges to gently encourage me to trust that which is in the depths of my heart; that which I feel some inclination to follow but fear has held me back; that which I know I should/need/want to do but have stopped myself; that which my heart is YES to, but my logic brain is saying HELL NO. And I say “usually” because some of these have been big, or at least they were many small nudges until finally, after ignoring or not paying attention, I finally got a big, solid PUSH.

I am grateful for these moments, for these brief yet powerful flashes of time in which these messages are not only present, but they HIT me just when I could receive them.

What messages have you been ignoring? Or are you possibly holding onto logic so fiercely that you don’t allow the magic to come into your life? Can you loosen the grip, and allow yourself to believe, to be open, to try? You may just be in awe of what could show up 💞✨
