In the winter I turned seventy

Spirit said to me

The planets are aligned

It’s time to make it clear

~

Stop your pondering and wondering

What you have to do

Take your time, slow down

Notice things anew

~

What you should be doing now

Is clear as light of day

Keep touching other peoples lives

To guide them on their way

~

Share the gifts you have been given

Be open to the new

Listen for life’s lessons

You must keep learning too

~

Souls need love and understanding

In these shocking times

Reach out and touch an other’s heart

Together you will shine.

~

You are here to make a difference

Let there be no doubt

Be present to it all and still

It’s not yours to figure out

~ Val T Boyko

Well, I guess I have been told! This definitely feels like a new chapter. Inspiration has touched my heart and soul.

In my forties I discovered my dharma has always been to learn, grow and share. Yoga and coaching were the paths I chose. In my fifties I forgave others and myself, and found healing. I began this blog and discovered the joy of writing from the heart. In my sixties I awakened to the Source of all being and the healing power in me. As I enter my seventieth year I choose to make a difference every day and follow the calling of my soul.

Namaste
