I had planned with a friend to drive to the 1,000 steps Kakoda Trail in The Dandenong mountains so that we could walk it together.
It’s a tough climb up, which gets your heart rate going to the point where you feel like it is going to burst out of your body! Your breathing is heavy and you struggle to take a breath. But once you get to the top it is the most rewarding feeling ever! The steps are set amongst the most beautiful trees, plants and streams that run through it and as tough as it is, you can’t help but take in the beauty that surrounds you. The descent back down the steps is easier but tough on your knees and legs. The steps can be quite slippery so you are carefully placing your feet firmly on the steps as you make your way down.
This day I was on my way to the 1,000 steps when my friend called me to say that she decided not to go because it was raining. It was actually raining pretty heavy. I could see her point that the steps would be much slipperier and the trail would be muddy. But I told her that I was still going, alone.
As I was driving there (after the phone call from my friend), my ego was having a field day!!! It’s raining, turn around and go home where it’s warm. It’s not safe alone. You will get drenched. What if something happens, turn around and go home. But I persevered. I just kept driving there regardless of what my ego was saying. To counteract the ego, I was asking my Angels to clear the rain for me during my walk, so that I wouldn’t get drenched. I was asking them to ensure my safety and well being.
As I got there the rain stopped!
I started walking and instantly I could sense Archangel Michael walking beside me. I was safe.
This was the most amazing walk I’ve ever done. It was in pure silence that I walked up the mountain, one foot in front of the other, I was in a state of peace. I was breathing in the beauty of Mother Nature around me and inhaling the fresh clear air.
Now normally this trail has heaps of people on it, but today I was lucky to only see about 10 people in total there, so I was walking this path alone (aside from AA Michael) and it felt beautiful as I was connecting to ‘self’ and the magnificent Mother Nature.
When I finished and I got back to my car, it started raining again! Gotta love it how the Angels help when you ask! I thanked my beautiful Angels for holding it off for me until I had finished and for being with me every step of the way.
I felt truly blessed to have had such a magical experience. My determination is what got me there and pushed me to succeed and without it I would not have experienced such bliss.
Allow your determination to take you to places that feed your soul. Be determined, be free! #lovefunfreedom2013
