So this morning I rolled out of bed – have two clients today (love Saturday morning appointments!) – and jetted off to Starbucks to get a cup o’ Joe (Mark usually makes my coffee, but I wanted him to sleep in).

As I started to turn out of the parking lot I felt this surge of energy move through me. I had this intense feeling – URGE – to drive VERY fast. I don’t mean fast as in 70 mph, but FAST!

I took Mark’s car this morning (he has a Jaguar) because I left my keys upstairs (and honestly was just too lazy to go get them). So there I am in this sleek, heavy car feeling the NEED for SPEED. I checked the time – had 30 minutes before my first call and jetted out to central expressway.

As I pulled onto the highway I could feel every part of my being perk up and slowly I pushed on the accelerator… 60… 70… 75…80 – no, still too slow… 90. Ah, yes, that feels good. I wanted to go faster, but my fear came in… tickets, cops, lights flashing… no thank you.

As I enjoyed the moment, I remembered a spirit poem I wrote several years ago where I talked about my spirit running with the hooves of a thousand wild horses. I totally cracked up thinking about cars have horse power! I could feel my spirit open and free and while I was being VERY careful to be safe, I knew that this speed was important.

I love to go FAST. You all know that. It just clicked that THIS is my essential nature… speedy! I felt very, very happy this morning after my 10 minute drive at 90 mph.

What does it mean? I’m not sure… the wisdom will come, but it feels like I’m ready to move at a faster pace.

I’m wondering… what part of you is nudging you for attention?

On the way home, I wondered about this need for speed… thinking about the vision I had as myself as a ghost flying next to the hooves of wild mustangs across the desert…and what came to mind is when I bought my very first car. It was 1987, and I bought a luscious 318i BMW with sunroof. I LOVED that car. I drove it 120 mph on flat top ALL the time. I felt like I could do/be ANYTHING!!! Wow, what a feeling … can you hear the Flashdance music in the background? I really had so much fun in that car. The places I went! (this pic is not the actual car… but similar).

Mmmmm, hmmmm… this was a great ride with my spirit! Follow yours and see where it goes!
