:: LIFE :: April | UP, DOWN, SIDEWAYS: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

Happy Spring, and welcome to April, my loves!

I hope you did some thorough introspection in March and rightfully reclaimed your power, because you're going to need a powerful foundation to stand on as April gets ready to rock your socks off. It sounds scary, but "expect the unexpected" can be fascinatingly positive if you keep your vibrations high, as Lena Stevens reminds us all in The Power Path's April Forecast. We have to be prepared to handle the lows, but trust that the highs will more than make up for them.

Don’t be afraid to dream big this month, as anything is possible and possibly very probable. 
Trust that what is coming your way as an opportunity is real, 
and accept it with enthusiasm and gratitude.
- Lena Stevens

As I read this month's forecast I couldn't help but think of surfers, or any oceangoing adventurer, getting tossed up, down and sideways by the unpredictable forces of the deep blue sea. Sometimes they catch the ride of their life, and sometimes they're thrust down into the depths, forced to hold their breath until the set finally ceases, allowing them to come up for air.

How do they do it? And aren't they scared?

And then I thought about why surfers surf. They do it because they have to. It's a primal calling; a deep-seeded desire for an experience that fires all five (or six) senses at once; an internal craving to be one with nature and, in turn, one with their own body, mind and spirit. You can't help but feel alive and fully appreciative for this gift of life that was given to you when you're dancing with the most powerful force on the planet.

So as you read the forecast and get ready to be tossed in all directions this month, think about tuning into your primal calling and what makes you feel most alive. Don't fall into old habits and close yourself off when you get pummeled. Shake off that last digger you took, let go of any past waves that left you rattled or wounded, and hop back up on your board ready to conquer the next swell. Remember that you are not the result of your circumstances; you are the cause of them.

Expect the unexpected and you will be well prepared. There is also an anchoring influence later in the month that will either drag you down into the negative quagmire of your negative emotions or anchor some new and wonderful energy as long as you keep your vibration high. Let go of your “old story” and be willing to dream a new one full of creativity and character.
