What is Your Bluebirds' Song?

by Wendy Mackowski, Inner North Coaching

I looked out the window this morning and was met by an amazing site: Four or maybe more beautiful Bluebirds frolicked around in my backyard! They were lining up at the feeder, flittering from tree to tree, and actually hanging in mid air flapping their beautiful azure blue wings around. It looked like the scene out of a Disney movie. I half expected Snow White to come strolling out from the trees. It was a magical moment. I t might be magical to anyone who saw this sight outside their window, but for me there is even more to the story. You must understand about the Bluebirds' Song.

Bluebirds' Song is a story I wrote many years ago to describe my journey of transformation and change. If you would like to read my story, just click on the link above. If you don't have time let me just tell you that it's about leaving the safety and security of your comfort zone to venture out into the unknown. It's also about the painful process of change and the strength and support of friendship. Since that time, Bluebirds have represented for me my most authentic self, my highest potential. I can't tell you the number of times bluebirds have shown up in my life since that time to give me inspiration. Sometimes physically and profoundly like they did today or sometimes on a flag or in a song at just the right moment. Having a symbol or some kind of metaphor to help you get in touch with your source of inspiration and power can be exciting and helps keep life magical.

So my question for you is: What is your bluebirds' song? How do you access your greatest potential? Do you have a vision of your authentic self? How about a name for metaphor or powerful symbol to help you access that part of you whenever you need to?

I invite you to spend time getting to know this part of yourself better. You can do this through spending time in nature, keeping a journal, spending quiet time meditating and getting in touch with your inner spirit. And I encourage you to find your own symbol or name that will bring this part of yourself to life! If you nurture it, you will be amazed at how much guidance and support you can get when you least expect it. I would love to hear from any of you who may have stories about magical moments you may have had that have helped you stay connected to your authentic spirit.

Your challenge is to begin to listen for what your Gremlins are saying to you that holds you back. Simply begin by just noticing, not arguing or struggling with them. Once you can begin to notice them, then you can start to make a conscious choices whether to belief them or not.
