Come to the Edge

This is your card reading for Wednesday, December 30th/15.  Your card dropped out of the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid.  Your card is 'Come to the Edge' and Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:  Courage; taking a leap of faith; overcoming fear and accepting risk.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:  Facing the unknown is the only choice you really have right now if you want to progress.  It's okay to be afraid.  Now is the time to take a risk that is not calculated---to feel the exhilaration as you ready yourself for a leap of faith.  Spirit is present, so let go of fear. You are called to express your true self.  Listen to your heart and soul, not your head.  Come to the edge and discover that you can fly.  You must step into the unfamiliar so that you may find your miracles."

My message for you today is this:
I had labeled 2015 as the year of 'conscious action'.  I am now understanding that a portion of that 'conscious action' was 'internal' in nature. A measure of our 'conscious action' was in releasing what no longer served us, and also in bringing to the surface and dealing with old patterns of behavior which were no longer in alignment with our 'new', authentic way of being. To a degree, that 'conscious action' has revealed itself as preparatory in nature. This was key to bringing us into 2016 wherein we will bring to fruition much of what we had planted in 2015.  
Were some of you, like myself, feeling slightly deflated that as 2015 draws to a close, you hadn't completed certain projects or goals that you had set for yourself, during the year of 'conscious action'? LET THAT GO!  All that you have engaged in during this past year has brought you now to the place where you need to now take that 'leap of faith' in 2016---whether you recognize this yet, or not!  With hindsight, you will know what I am talking about here.  Even those situations that you may label as painful or disappointing experiences over the past year; have served you in moving forward and in preparing you for that 'leap of faith' that you must now take in moving to the next level in your spiritual development and authentic expression.  In yesterday's reading it was shared that living your life 'on purpose' means to express all that you are authentically, in living your life---living from a Soulful place. This takes COURAGE.  This means being vulnerable to exposing who you truly are. As we come to the conclusion of 2015 and move into 2016, know that you have been well prepared as you have made that journey 'to the edge', and that you are fully supported in taking the leap of faith that is necessary for full, honest self expression.  You are receiving some strong inner guidance at this time.  Pay attention.  Follow through on what your Soul is speaking to you.  
As I was typing this last line of your message it came to me that 2016 will be the year of 'Creative Courage'---we are going to be pushed to express our Divine gifts and talents with daring and tenacity---in every facet of our lives, and in our own unique way!  
We have 'come to the edge' and we are preparing to soar!
Blessed be...
