Honor Your Growth

Reflecting on the ways you have grown, take note of possible connections between the growth of your soul and the growth of your body. Perhaps your body has expanded in a way that feels true to your soul, or perhaps it feels like your body and soul are telling two different stories. Acknowledge and honor whichever experience is yours. In the intuitive knowing of your soul, what divine invitation do you sense being extended to you? What work is necessary to find congruence between the growth of your body and soul? Remember that the voice of God is always affirming, compassionate, and tender. Refuse to listen to anything else.
