Today,
I want to share with you a short story about a scar.
Years ago,
I started seeing hearts everywhere,
On the streets,
On the trees,
On the sky,
On the walls,
Everywhere and all the time.
I felt so blessed and amazed because every time this happened,
I knew that I was being shown the way,
I was being guided and no matter what happened,
I would be okay.
This started happening after I opened my first restaurant.
I was very much in alignment at the time,
At least on a professional level.
I had finally found a place where I could express myself freely as a macrobiotic cook.
One day,
Right before this huge manifestation of hearts,
I was at home after coming back from the restaurant and I went to the kitchen to prepare a soup for my dinner.
Once it was done and because I had nothing on my legs,
I felt this need to go put on some pants.
So I went to my bedroom and I chose the thickest pants I had.
And at the moment,
I asked myself why was I choosing such warm pants if it was summertime and it wasn't cold at all.
Despite my thoughts,
I put on the pants and I went back to the kitchen.
When I got there,
I moved the soup pot and when I put it down again,
It felt on my legs.
I screamed and I panicked.
I took off my pants and I ran and put myself under a cold shower for about 10 or 15 minutes.
My legs were completely red and one part had no skin.
While I was in the shower,
My skin started to improve,
Although some parts were still damaged.
I then went to the hospital where I was told to rest for two weeks and to apply all the treatments.
At the hospital,
I was already getting back to my regular state of joy,
Despite the fact that my skin was still burning.
Because I was so happy and enthusiastic with my new restaurant,
The next day I went to work.
I also removed everything that they put around one of my legs,
The one that got worse,
Because that was blocking my movements.
With time,
My skin became much better to the point where only one small scar remained.
About six months after this accident,
Someone looked at my leg and said,
Oh,
Look,
It's a heart.
And there it was.
What first was a shapeless scar turned into a heart.
And I realized that I was already seeing hearts everywhere,
Like I told you.
And so I stared at my leg for a while to make sure that I wasn't dreaming or something.
Since then,
Other people recognized the heart on my leg.
They even asked me if it was a tattoo or if I made it myself.
It is only a scar,
But every time I look at it,
It reminds me of my connection to Source,
My ability to trust the universe,
And my persistence in keeping myself aligned with my true self and a higher consciousness.
It reminds me that everything is always working out for me and that sometimes what we see,
It is only a tiny part of the whole picture.
I was warned by the universe through my intuition right before it happened.
And I followed that inner voice,
Which told me to put on those particular pants.
I trusted the process by freeing my skin and allow it to heal on its own.
Then I was surprised with a heart on my leg.
Sometimes something that we perceive as bad can pretty much turn into a source of inspiration that bring us the biggest smile ever on a daily basis.
So today I am sharing with you this light that I feel and receive from my scar.
We all have scars.
Most of them we can't even see.
We can only feel,
And they don't necessarily have to be bad forever.
Yes,
It is easier when we can see that they actually gained the shape of a heart,
But all scars have the potential to become hearts.
We only have to give them a chance.
So next time we feel deep pain from any scar,
We remember that we have the power to turn it into a heart and to set ourselves free from any hurtful experience.
All we have to do is to redraw its contours and see it from this new wonderful perspective that only makes us stronger and closer to our hearts.
