Following Life’s Bread Crumbs

Our lives are filled with a series of choices. Sometimes the next step appears so very fuzzy and unsure… whether to go this way or that. Then there are those fabulous moments of clarity, when we feel a clear and definitive YES. I like to think of those moments as bread crumbs, specifically placed along our life’s journey. When we follow the nudges of our heart we are opening ourselves up to the gifts that have been placed here for us. They move us forward with experiences, lessons, and often opportunities for personal growth, joy, and delight. When we act upon a “hell yes” feeling, it is like activating a stepping stone that helps carry us more directly down our individualized path.

We take those steps with trust, not knowing where they will lead, as we follow what feels right. A path lined with clear YES’ becomes an adventure having the power to light us up and fill us with exquisite energy. Oh, what a journey it can be when we connect to the longings of our soul and travel the path set before us. It’s like an amazing and scrumptious banquet laid out before us, even if we can only see one delight at a time. And once we have partaken of the dish before us, another one appears, as if we have been gifted with the next course to delight our tastebuds with joy.

There is something magical in living life by following the guidance of our soul. That guidance shows up as longings of the heart and can feel like taps on the shoulder, spirit nudges, and tugs. And little miracles begin to show up in our lives, but the breadcrumbs themselves can be seen as miracles in themselves.

Enjoy the journey of discovery in following the bread crumbs of your own life, one step at a time, one YES at a time.
