This reminder came to me from a facebook friend I've never met, but I treasure her wisdom:
Nurture the messages that come from spirit before you share them with others.
Allow the them time to grow to build strength.
When one shares too soon it can... be lost in the talking and excitement, then it has little energy to be made manifest.
Trust, be patient and the manifestation will be realized.
Then watch the vision take flight.

Sometimes spirit speaks in the lyrics of a song that gives us chills. Sometimes with an inner knowing when we take a chance, and try something beyond our usual self-limiting identity. In our exuberance, we may share too quickly, or with folks who don't appreciate the travails we have endured.
What helps us trust when so much seems to not yet be manifesting? Patience and faith, a willingness to persevere despite the odds that can be discouraging...these are part of an opening, vulnerable and courageous heart. Some things do get better with age. When we relax our own boundaries, take time to listen to one another's intentions, stay curious instead of fearful, relationships have a chance of growing. As we move from casual encounter to more meaningful relationships, the little commitments add up, and we begin to wonder, is this a commitment we are both willing to nurture? Letting things unfold gently instead of broadcasting the changes we are embracing, sometimes cautiously and carefully, allows spirit to be our companion too. Our dreams can manifest more authentically if we give them time and encouragement, and yes, some privacy too.
