LEGACY

I always believed that 'leaving your legacy' meant that you had to somehow achieve the Impossible....That for it to mean anything, you had to obtain a platform that society deems as successful....I thought that a 'Voice' would only be heard if you achieved fame and fortune....Or something spectacular or extraordinary.....

After a tremendously challenging time, where my family was going under, my entire belief was changed in an instant of clarity - Its simple complexity sent a bolt of renewed breath to my fragile heart.

I realised, in the painful shadows of trauma, that the SOS you send out to the Universe in desperation of wanting to be airlifted from situations beyond your control, especially when you feel injustice, is in actual fact, only a cry for help amidst the death and rebirth of your own heart shifting perception - If you quietly listen, it is in this heartache, that you answer your own SOS.

I realised that with all I've been dealt.....Childhood sexual abuse.....Mental Health recycling within the next generation.....Kicked out of Australia in 2014 - being torn away from my children who are the oxygen that give me life.....Presently awaiting Ministerial Intervention with the uncertainty of what will happen when my Bridging Visa runs out on the 28th September 2020.....Increased challenges regarding my physical health, and experiencing total exhaustion....

Enduring all this, one thing has now become very clear to me....

....That just maybe....It is not in looking at any outcome as unjust, but rather seeing the prisms of light that radiated from the jaded edges of injustice, that formed each outcome towards a destination that is never final, but that granted you opportunities that enriched your life.

....That just maybe....It is not in the complicated answers you seek that you find fulfilment and abundance, but rather in the simple 'unimportant' moments where you've been wholly present in the 'right here and right now'....Because those are the important moments.

....That moment where you've laughed from the deepest depths of your essence with others, and at times at yourself, for the silly things you do, for the failures and for the wins.

.....That moment where helping your daughters with homework is not a chore but a meeting of minds and a merging of hearts, which allows you the opportunity to hold them close, and simultaneously, give them the courage to fly with all the 'amazing' of what you see every time you look at them.

.....That moment when you realise that your sons have maintained a compassionate gentleness through all the storms.

.....That moment when your sister is strong enough for both of you, and all six children, even when her own heart is breaking.

.....That moment where you can sit next to your best friend, with your head on his shoulder and just 'be' without words, or jump up and dance without inhibition, the beat of the music merging with the rhythm of your souls, with no judgement.

....That moment where, even if you're having a bad day, you smile at a stranger, because you feel their pain, and deep-down you know that this 'unimportant' gesture could be the most important thing you do on this day for a stranger.

These small moments that are not attached to fame and fortune....These simple, truthful 'unimportant' moments ARE YOUR LEGACY, and it is within THIS LEGACY that your Soul and your Heart align, gifting you the Impossible that you were searching for.

I also now know that it is okay for not all those people in your life that contributed to 'that moment' to walk with you until the very end - You can still love them, as they follow their own Journey xxx
