I just spent six weeks teaching a course on dreams to Encore! at NC State University. This is a continuing education program for folks over 50. It was a wonderful experience spending Tuesday afternoons exploring the unconscious with 26 curious students.
Every Tuesday, I would come home and declare to my husband, “I love doing dreamwork!”. Michael would always say the same thing to me, “Nancy if you love it so much, why don’t you do more of it?” I kept thinking, I don’t have time, look at all I am doing. But then, I thought, this gives me energy like nothing else. It was as if I had 26 muses calling me back to my own creative self and the work my soul yearns to do.
We all allow ourselves to become sidetracked from our real passions from time to time. We owe it to ourselves to be energized by doing the things we love. We owe it to the world to share those things that make our hearts sing.
What have you put on hold in your life? What ignites the fire of passion in your soul? How about we have an agreement, here and now, to put our excuses aside. Let’s love ourselves enough to do those things that energize our spirits!
