"Leave Your Era"

"You should always know when you're shifting gears in life. You should leave your era; it should never leave you." - Leontyne Price, the first African American to become a leading prima donna at the Metropolitan Opera

Shifting gears, moving in a new direction, finding out that my "truth" is changing - these are scary processes for me at times. But, it's so worth the effort.

I've been shifting gears quickly these days. I've gone through some emotional upheaval in the last couple of years yet the difficulties that came from this upheaval actually catapulted me to a new level of spiritual consciousness. I never expected it, I didn't think it was possible, and I'm amazed when I think about it.

I've left my era and I'm in a new one now. I know what it's like to feel as if I was left behind somehow and I don't ever want to feel that way again. Today I will remember the magnificence that comes from shifting gears in life. I am so blessed - thank you God!
