Aloha from SmartsyGirl™

Hello there! I am SmartsyGirl™ and I am so happy that you found my blog. I have been blogging off and on (mostly off, sadly) for about five years. I have decided to rededicate my efforts to keeping a regular blog where I'll share my musings and document my journey in this amazing experience that I call "life". My hope is that this blog will be a place of creativity, inspiration and fun for all who stop by. A bit about me...I am a woman, wife and mother who recently fulfilled a dream by moving to the beautiful state of Hawaii. I am a creative person who enjoys making art and jewelry, cooking, gardening, interior decorating, reading, beach-combing, being with the people that I love and meeting new friends. Inspired by my motto, "A girl can never be too smart or too artsy", I am on a lifelong quest to live more, see more, learn more, teach more, help more, heal more, make more, give more, laugh more, grow more, do more and be more. Please do stop by and visit often. My virtual welcome mat is always out and a piping hot cup of tea is always freshly brewed!

Whispers in the wind

So, my intuition is, for some unknown reason, firing up more vividly of late. I just got this question over my tune-in tuner (haha): "What would it take to start TODAY? I'm not talking about having all of the answers to all of the questions, or having everything in place; just what small step can be taken today to move closer to the goal. A mind shift? A brainstorming of a previous brainstorm? Why can't one small step in this journey of a thousand miles begin today?"

You know how it is when the Universe is prodding you on and you just want to slap it away and say, "Stop bugging me!!"? It reminds me of what Oprah says about the Universe first speaking in whispers as it progresses to roars. It's hard to explain what these "whispers" are. I'm not losing my marbles, I swear! It's sort of like a thought that comes to mind out of the blue, as opposed to actually hearing a voice. It's like an internal dialogue between me and myself...yet not quite the same thing. My whispers are getting a bit louder and coming faster, perhaps??? The nagging feeling has no regard for what's going on in my day-to-day life. Never mind that I have so many ideas and so little time/energy. Never mind that I've got a brain splitting headache today. Never mind that I can talk myself out of it all by seeing only the obstacles. The Universe just wants me to one small SOMETHING (anything) today to move me on the path and all of this is happening despite my not really knowing what my path even is.

I'm sharing this with you because that's what the whispers are saying that I ought to do. I don't know if it's a message that you need to hear as well, but i'm just following my mind and passing it on in the hopes that it will affirm for you whatever you may be waiting for affirmation about. :)
