My heart has to be open to hear it.

What a profound and true statement.  And I have always thought it was.  But now I'm questioning this statement and where I thought I've been.  And how do I make this happen?

I have spent my life wearing my heart on my sleeve.  I've never been one to be shy about showing my feelings and have been told more than once that I can be so emotional -- this reminds me how this was never a positive statement and that should have been appreciated -- not criticized.  I've responded to my heart far more than my head and I know I've paid a price for that.  And since I don't believe in living with regret, I'm okay with this.  I have always felt I need to follow my heart.

But is it my heart leading me and I'm not really listening closely to allow it to tell me to where I need to be.  I have been reactive to my heart and not proactive to what my heart has to say.

What is my calling?  Who am I supposed to be?  A huge question but something that is front and center in my thoughts these days.  So I am putting this out to the "world" this morning and it is something I want to consider.  And I am going to try to be open to listening to what my heart is telling me where I need to be.  I know there is something more to come right now.  I can hear that I'm not exactly where I should be at this moment and I believe there is something coming.  And I am excited about this -- sure a little nervous, but this can be something great!  I'm open to that.
