Older woman

I am finding that, as I am growing into an older woman, that I am discovering and uncovering so many truths and continuously developing myself. If you are older and you feel as though you have "arrived" at some age where you no longer have use to grow up, discover things and open up, then you could possibly be missing out on your ability to be rooted in wisdom.

In the climate of social media. there are so many "trendy quotes of truth" that we are able to access and cling on to we tend to get lazy when it comes to developing ourselves. We become afraid to walk in the truth of our own lives and enjoy the fruits of our own labor in life. We cling to ego through religion, family, friends, titles, sickness, relationships ...etc

I am learning that true peace is not about holding a certain title or wealth in material things. True peace is not about being of a prominent social standing. True peace does not come through the approval of others. True peace is not found in the years spent reading books and learning verses. 

True peace comes through love and acceptance of what is TRUE. There are times when relationships have to change in order to respect it. There are times when you have evaluate everything you think of as real and important. There are times when you have to take a long hard look into your own heart and realize how foolish and insincere it has been. There are times when you have to be willing to let go of everything you hold tightly to. In order to do this you have to be willing to look under, see above, feel around and discover the many hidden treasures that are laid about in our lives waiting to be realized. 

As an older woman, I am waking up and I feel far more free than I ever have in my life. My soul dances as my body is slowing down. I am learning to laugh. I am learning to expand. I am learning to let go. I am learning to accept what is. I am learning to find ways to live and walk in truth. I am learning to trust in love. I am learning to embrace my emotions and trust the lessons I have chosen to teach me.
