Next Things

"I want to be where the dreamers are"
This morning I woke up with this phrase on my lips, so I decided to update my blog for the first time in three years. Here is the backstory:

Last week I was introduced to the Secret Language of Destiny, which is basically a personality theory based on astrology called "personology". Coming from a Christian background, astrology is the devil's work; but as a thinking Christian, I tend to think of astrology as the science of the ancient world. It's interesting in an historical sense, and a bit freaky in how similar the personality structures determined by stars and birthdates align with the new science of my MBTI test results (which I first experienced at a Christian organization where the results were used to help direct me to who God had created me to be).

My personology type is Pisces III, born in the week of Dreamers & Dancers. Yes. Just the phrase elevates my spirit to joy, enchantment and desire. It has stuck with me and inspired me to do something, and in this day and age, that something has to be blogging! This blog, Next Things, began at a time of transition in my life five years ago. It was a way to communicate and share life with people far away. This time around, I am looking for a place to share inspiration, to communicate the aspects of my life that draw me into wonder, mystery and vision.

The distinction between Dreamers and Dancers to me is the difference between thinkers & doers, choreographers & dancers, visionaries & entreprenuers. They are qualities that are interdependent, and may even exist within the same person, and yet are different functions that when brought together can make the impossible possible. I tend to be more of a Dancer, a practical person, but there is a lot of Dreamer in me as well, which is why I think I seek out those people in my life. They call me into wholeness.

And thus, this next thing begins. A continuation of my journey.
