It's official now, I know my "whispers" are getting louder every day. The same underlying message is coming at me from many directions. I have never felt so certain about the meaning of an experience than I am right now.

So we started at the beginning of all my writing and I said multiple times that I believe that he trials I went through during my husband's last deployment have lessons embedded that I was intended to learn for a greater purpose (whisper)... I was really working hard to search for those lessons and discovering so much along they way. With every day I was starting to feel a little better, more inspired and one great thing to come out of it was a huge improvement with the relationship and communication between my husband and I.

Over the last few weeks I have been tuning in to watch the "Oprah Presents Master Class" series and have heard repeatedly my own belief about my struggles being lessons. Not just from Oprah, but also from many of her guest "masters" that did their own shows in the series. What I took away from many was the belief that our struggles in life are filled with necessary lessons and can ultimate serve us in our lifetimes and sometimes are meant to serve others (more whispers).....

So Oprah mentioned in telling her own story that during your life these "whispers" will get louder and louder if you do not acknowledge them in some way. Funny thing happened to me last night while reading. My personal whispers started to talk to me so loudly it was like I was being hit over the head with the information!

While reading "The Ripple Effect" I came to a section where the writer is talking about "searching for meaning". I suddenly stumbled across this message that felt it was written just for me. Betty Eadie writes "To discover our mission in life we must see challenges as opportunities for growth and then face them head on. Each challenge measures our strengths and progress. Even when trials cause pain or sorrow, we must look for new lessons in the pain" Later she goes on to say "The past can always be a springboard and a resource for accomplishment and for the betterment of others".  (Whisper, WHisper, WHISPER!)

First of all, think about the power in the writing and one can't help but notice the common thread running through all of the messages that have been resonating with me for so long now. It's comforting for sure! I know I am going in the right direction and "writing out" my lessons is helping me navigate the classroom of my life! I know there is a greater purpose for all that I have learned so far and are going to continue to learn from the pain in the future. As long as I keep doing the work and remain faithful to the process, I believe I will be firmly planted on my chosen path in no time. Meanwhile I have much work to continue in this process but now it is with an eager spirit that I move forward.

Lesson for today: Today I learned to be grateful for the "whispers" and received a confirmation that they are all sending me the same message. I need to stay engaged and continue to listen to see where they take me next!

Wishing you Happiness and Light!

Until next time,
