    The storms will come along our journey. It's inevi The storms will come along our journey. It's inevitable. Any time we create movement in our life - seeking progress, change, growth, etc.- it is as if winds are shifting out the old and bringing in the new and momentarily, there will be a clash - a brilliant storm - that will test our mettle. Find your courage. Hold on. It's there and simply needs to be tapped to support you if indeed what you are seeking to do is in alignment with your inner compass. 

Once you traverse through the brilliance of Mother Nature spectacle, a rainbow appears,  and yep, a second one is always present whether we can see it or not. How cool is that? Amazingly seemingly magical things await if you are in alignment and singing your song, also translated as "universe". But in an actuality, it isn't magic, it's simple physics. Be courageous enough to sing your song and discover what awaits to be discovered.
