FOLLOW YOUR BLISS
See where the thread takes you
I’ve always believed there’s a reason things
keep catching our attention.
A little idea that won't leave you alone.
A place you suddenly want to visit.
Something you used to love doing.
A project you keep thinking about, even though you've convinced yourself you should move on.
When I say follow your bliss, this is what I mean.
Maybe it's the universe giving you a little nudge:
Yes. That. Follow that.
It doesn't have to be a grand adventure.
Maybe it's finally stopping at that old-town coffee shop you've driven past a hundred times.
Maybe it's picking up a pencil and drawing again because you loved it when you were younger.
Maybe it's finishing the project that brought you so much joy — even if you decided it wasn't practical, profitable, or worth your time.
Not everything we love has to become a business.
Not everything we are curious about has to lead somewhere.
Sometimes the point is simply that something inside you lit up.
And maybe that's enough reason to follow it.
Because you never know what that little thread might lead you toward.
A new place.• A new idea. • A person. *A forgotten part of yourself.
Or simply an afternoon that feels a little more like you. And here's
the beautiful part: when you start following what feels healthy and good in the moment, you may be surprised by where it leads.
One small choice can lead to another.
You stop at the little coffee shop — and discover a place you love.
You pick up the pencil — and remember how much you love drawing.
You say yes to the thing that feels good — and suddenly you're
having a conversation you wouldn't have had otherwise.
One blissful moment leads to another.
And before you know it, you may look around
and realize you've created a life you actually LOVE living.
Maybe that's what following your bliss really means.
Not knowing exactly where you're going.
Just noticing what feels good, healthy, curious, and aliveright now —
and being willing to follow it.
FOLLOW YOUR BLISS
You don't have to know where it leads.You just have to be willing to take the next step.
Sometimes the smallest nudge is an invitation.
Follow your bliss. See where the thread takes you.
I like to believe we're all connected.
Not in a way I can explain or prove. It's simply something I've come to feel—the sense that the world around us is more alive and connected to us than we sometimes remember.
For me, it happens with bees.
My daughter recently became a beekeeper, so bees have taken on a whole new meaning in my world. When one circles my table, lands nearby, or decides to land on me, I notice.
And I think of her.
I take it as a little message:
Call your daughter.
Maybe that sounds a little woo.
I'm perfectly happy with that.
A bird appearing at just the right moment. A butterfly that seems to follow you. A song coming on when you were thinking about someone.
Maybe they're coincidences.
Maybe they're something more.
Perhaps the point isn't figuring out which one is true. Perhaps it's simply being open enough to notice.
Because when we pay attention, the ordinary world can begin to feel full of little conversations.
So when that bee comes around, I pick up the phone.
And what if that really was the message?
I think I'd rather believe it was. 🐝
This is the version I'd use. It keeps your story, your daughter, the bee, the woo, and the emotional ending—but it doesn't take up half the magazine.
And yes: THE COSMIC EDIT → LIFE is where I'd put it.
THE BEE MESSAGE
