It feels like I have been fighting for my life and I don’t mean in a physical life or death situation. I mean in a mental and emotional way which definitely can affect the physical (Remember when I told you I heard Spirit say to me, “If you don’t slow down you are going to have a stroke or heart attack. Breathe.” ?) I have been fighting for the normal space in life everyone should have. Space to just be without so many interruptions throughout the day. Space to breathe. Space to think. Space to daydream. Space!

Time. Time to clean up my home. Time to cook and bake. Time to do my spiritual work. Time to work on my dreams and goals. It’s been a fight. And I was so fatigued that sleep and rest wasn’t fully refreshing me. The replenish was not deep enough. It did not touch my my spirit or soul or mind. Each day I was fighting for my time and space. And I was exhausted.

When life is hectic, when things are changing hour on the hour, the whisper is; “You must carve out time and space for YOU. You must then protect your space and time.” But when I think of the word “carve” it seems like a hard thing to do. So, I think of it as creating space and time. Blocking off space and time and informing all of the people that seem to intrude and interrupt that you will not be available (unless there is an emergency) for this amount of time or days. I will be out of the office, basically. Figure it out without me. Get someone else to do it or do it yourself. But this, this space and time? It’s reserved for me!

I thought about my mantra for the year, “I quietly do my work with joy” because it’s a three year for me and I must prepare. And I will let nothing and no one stop me. How can I do my work with so many things pulling at me? I must say, STOP. Do not pass go. Go straight to jail lol. Stay there until I finish doing MY WORK or better yet, DO YOUR WORK. DO YOUR JOY. But I must DO MY JOY. I must have fun. I mention these things in quite a few of my blogs and in this “whisper” theme series. I say it over and over because we cannot let the noise consume us. We cannot. I do not want to live in fear. I do not want to be bitchy, mean, agitated, pessimistic or any other connotation of negativity. Do you?

Love, Nikki~
