I knew I was wrong, but was happy to stay in my comfort zone

Greetings!

The other day, my younger son said over the phone, "Mom, I know you don't want to talk much about yourself, but, if you were the one who is reading the blog, would you like to know more about the author?"

Well, I suppose in the divine plan this wonderful, wise soul who chose me as his mother is here to give me a push here and there.

Let me give you another example.  Near the end of May 2005, I joined a circle in a holistic center.  We met every Thursday morning from ten to noon.  People usually arrived early to chat before the start of the circle.  Since I was not comfortable speaking in English, I was very quiet during the first few weeks.  I also tried to walk in at the exact time or a little bit late so that I did not have to socialize.  When my son learned about that, he said, "Mom, what is the point of joining a circle?"  I said I joined the circle because of the guidance of my angels and guides.  My son said, "You join a circle to be part of a circle.  If you try to arrive late so that you don't have to chat or connect with them, you may as well quit!".  I was speechless.  I knew I was wrong, but I was happy I could stay in my comfort zone.  "Mom, instead of arriving late, be there early next week, and talk to your friends.  Mom, they are your friends.  They won't judge you."

I was with the circle for over two years before I moved.  I realized later that my guides put me there to learn to speak in English without fear.  It was truly a circle of unconditional love.  All my friends as well as the center are still very much in my prayers.

When I started the blog, it was true I wanted to remain anonymous.  I did not want to talk much about me.  I just wanted to share the life lessons I had learned, and my experiences of the touch of God.  However, I knew in order for me to connect with you on a heart to heart level, I must be willing to open up and truly share.  In my next post, I will tell you more about me.

By the way, I had stepped out of my comfort zone.  I had facilitated spiritual energy healing workshops.  I had also spoken twice (as a speaker) at church.

My friends, what about you?  Is there a comfort zone you have yet to step out?  Do you have any story to share about how you step out of your comfort zone?  I would love to hear your story.

Many blessings,
