We're Not in OZ Anymore

Oh my wonderful friend, the scarecrow.  He is teaching me so much!  I am at a point that it is time to release all my old patterns, particularly those that held me back.  What I need to learn.  I spent most of my life being the teacher, the smart one, the one who believed, like Dorothy, that there is magic.  Believing that if you come with me and I help you then my own agenda of being "fixed" would miraculously occur in the process.  But, what I did not see was that the more I tried to help others, the more I lost me.  It became all about them.  Their successes and their failures became my own. 
Part of admitting that we have a problem comes with surrender.  Yes, that is a little further down the Yellow Brick Road, but all the same I am here.  Being Dorothy, at this stage, is no longer working for me.  It is time to let go of the Kansas mentality and move on to bigger and better things.  It is time to look at each brick closely.  It is time to allow my friends, such as the Scarecrow, to show me my path and to encourage me to take on the dark forest whole - heartedly. 
The Scarecrow anthem is If I only had a Brain..............Well, I have hidden for years behind that brain statement.  I do have a brain and it's time to fill it with new knowledge and new actions.  No more resting on my laurels of how smart I am.  It's time to dance a little and time to learn!
