Yesterday, I saw a thought provoking bumper sticker that read, “Why are you here?”
It got me thinking.
I’m here to undo the knots of suffering accumulated by generations before me. I hope this will leave less knots to accumulate for my daughter.
I’m here to be a clear intuitive healer to help others reconnect with themselves. Only then can they find and untie their own knots.
Why are you here?

Hmmmm - good question. I think I am here as a healer also, but more emotional healing maybe. Folks with certain illnesses seem drawn to me and I to them. Maybe also to learn what I am here to learn and be a more enlightened person. I guess they go together huh!
Namaste, Sarah
I will have to think about that, but off the top of my head, I am here it learn, teach and create. And to love!
One thing I know is that I am here to encourage. For myself - I am here to forgive, heal, grow and hopefully I learn along the way. If I do not learn I will continue to make the same mistake. Sometimes it takes this several times. Enough said.
Thank you for this reminder.
Mermaid,
This is such an important question to ask of ourselves, often, at different times of our lives. When I ask this of myself right now, in this moment, with life as it is showing up, my answer is to learn, to grow. To stay faithful to my own unfolding. To live simply, gently, with kindness toward myself and others. I'd also throw this in for good measure— to share what I am learning along the way. :-) Now, I am off to pen a letter to you, my friend. Happy holiday!
xxxooo
You have lovely reasons as to why you are here.
me? to share the beauty of this moment, that is the first thought that comes to me.
On one level I don't know why I'm here - still trying to figure it out. Looking back I might say I'm here to learn how to cope with loss – I've had so much of it in my life. But I can't believe that is all... Perhaps I'm here to show what can be done in spite of loss. That feels worth doing. Blessings to you.
I've been thinking about this since I first read your post a few days ago.
Some days I am so sure of my purpose, other days I feel like I haven't a clue. One thing I know for certain is that it has to do with helping others on their journey here on earth as much as it has to do with my learning lessons about life. And the one motif that runs through everything is that when I feel true, selfless love, I feel the most connected to my true purpose.
Maybe we are never supposed to know exactly why we are here while we are here. Maybe that would interfere with our own growth.
Every answer brings up more questions when I think of what my life's purpose might be. But that's not a bad thing!

Mermaid, what a GREAT question! So timely too as I was just mulling this over...again...on Saturday. I always like to check in now and again, to see if it is time to create a new path, or stay on the well trodden one, or take another branch of the one I am on.
So in mulling it all over, I have to say I am here to share love, and to heal through the power of color. Simple things really. I love seeing how we all are weaving a magnificent tapestry together with our individual, but related, life paths. We each carry our own unique thread through life but it is interwoven beautifully with others with whom we connect. The power of the internet is that our thread can now go worldwide! What a miracle!
Have a wonderful week! xo diantha
I'm here to be a light, to offer a little encouragement, support, not the big shaktipot, but a bringer of light nevertheless. And I love the imagery of the internet weaving our tapestry altogether... yes!
I've been on that search my entire life, however, if I were to strip everything down to the bare bones, I think I am here to just sit quietly with people, to listen to their stories, and to help them to understand that it's okay. All of it. Even the scary, messy, embarrassing, ugly stuff.
Thanks for dropping by my place today and leaving such a lovely note.
