I know this
is going to sound strange, especially as we kick off to the start of a powerful
and promising New Year, but here’s the thing…
A week later I was enjoying some
special time with Hollee over a bottle of red wine when she retorted: “Hey,
look Nix. It says here on the bottle:
‘Slow
down. It’s about time.’”
I remembered
my astonishment at the way Spirit works and how He/She gently keeps sending the
same message until we are ready to hear it.
To make my memory fonder I went into
my bar and reached for the bottle which I have saved all these years. I turned
the bottle in my hands and savoured all the messages Hollee and I wrote four
and a half years ago.
Only today
did I notice the little tortoise on the logo, for the very first time. It reminded
me of the children’s’ story about the tortoise and the hare. And other words of
wisdom flooded to me such as “less haste, more speed”. And I think that the
penny has finally dropped. I am really hearing and getting the meaning of this
message, which is long overdue.
So, as I sit
in the starting blocks of the year ahead, I have made a cognitive connect with
the tortoise.
I have every conviction
that I will run the race, but that I will do it slow, savouring all of life’s
magical moments and that I will achieve everything that I am meant to and more.
Sweet soul,
if you have had a tortoise awakening too, I invite you to pace yourself for the
year ahead, to take it slow and choose a pace that you can sustain for the full
duration of 2015.
Here’s to
all of us crossing the finishing line this year with surplus energy.
Have a
beautiful week!
Love
Nicolette
