First Class-Business Class-Economy-Standby-Hmmmmm....something to think about.

I have been reading more and more lately, something I have not done a lot of in the past. Curiosity I guess and something to keep me grounded when things feel tough.  I came across this book called-Traveling at the Speed of Love by Sonia Choquette.  I can not believe how small the New Age section was at Barnes and Noble-very surprising. It was the last book on the shelf and it was meant to be that I got this book. I just started reading it this weekend.  The book has just begun and it there are already parts of the book that have really struck home and taken my breath away.

The title of the book pretty much says it all, "when we travel at the speed of love, we choose to live in a frequency of unconditional love. Today, most of us travel at the frequency of fear and exist in a victim consciousness. " Something to really think about is, "we are all traveling in this universe together, the speed, the tone, and the quality of our journey differs greatly from person to person.

We choose our way just as when we travel on airplanes we choose our class: first class, business class, economy, or even standby."  Never looked at life like this, and for sure do not want to be in economy-First class or standby would be nice.  I see standby as in living life spur of the moment and letting life unfold as it is ready, or first class as in giving myself what I feel I deserve and surrounding myself with like minded people.

The book is just getting started, but there was a section that stood out which speaks to when you travel first class, " you meet the best fellow travelers " (for the most part)  "Because like attracts like, people who choose to travel in first class meet kindred spirits, like minded souls who share the same values and priorities.  These are giving people who are generous of the soul and full of heart and make your journey through life richer in every way.  The make traveling companions, and open doors to wondrous opportunities."  So grateful that I am surrounded with these kind of individuals in my life-my friends and family.  I started a blog series called Paying Tribute, and I think that it is so important to be grateful to the people in your life. Those that open and heal your heart vs surrounding yourself with people who bring you down.

Funny how the card I picked today off of Sonia's website speaks to Starting A New.  I feel like I am slowly just doing that, and so the journey continues...........
