Dear intuition,
The one time I went to her, a chart reader (“I am not a fortune teller,” she had quietly reminded me) told me, “your intuition is very strong.”
I shook my head and told her she had it all wrong. Unlike my friends who revealed that they had kutob (an inkling) about why they didn’t fall in love with a certain guy, or a path they didn’t take, I confessed that I was a believer in the security of facts and the obvious and that I had no intuition.
“No, you do,” she insisted. “It is very powerful. You just have to use it.”
She was right. In the 20 years since she told me about you, I realized what a meaningful force and partner you are.
You were the prickle at the back of my neck when I made a life-changing decision at the wrong time. You were the whisper that said, maybe this isn’t the right job for you anymore. You were the little voice that told me that I was carrying a baby girl and that this was the time have her. You are my guide during my coaching sessions, allowing me to ask the questions my clients need despite my nervousness at the start of the session, which leads to ah-ha insights for them, making them look at the world and their life in a more loving way.
I wish I didn’t ignore you the first part of my life, preferring to pay attention to the logical and rational rather than heeding your quiet wisdom. At that point, my priorities were noise, movement, ambition rather than serenity, stillness, faith. The shifts in my life have allowed your voice to become stronger which led me to trust in and believe you more than what was staring me in the face.
You have led me down the right path.
You have boosted my courage.
You have strengthened my resolve.
Thank you for all that and more.
Love, Aurora
This month, I decided to challenge myself and participate in Susannah Conway’s April Love event. She’s inviting her readers to write daily love letters around a certain theme. I can’t make the daily commitment, but I want to do at least 10. Here are my love letters to love and home.
