The "Star " has particular meaning to me and my family.  One reason is that my daughter is a professional circus performer and has been a "star" since she began her training at age 5.  She has had the gift of knowing her passion and going for it!

The home we live in is called, "Star Estates" and literally has hundreds of hanging

Stars.  When I was doing a cleanse of my Inner Mean Girl and I identified my Inner Wise Girl-her name became "Starla".

This concept of Finding the Star within originated in me when I was at a meditation retreat during the first year that my daughter was performing and traveling with a circus called "Circus Smirkus" when she was 11 years old.  I saw the circus ring as a metaphor for where our true stuff comes out-our essence.  The circus ring is like a hearth, a core, a chamber, or hub where all gather together.  Its like the stage or its even like a yoga mat where everything comes out-the good, the bad and the ugly.

Each child shines their light as they Enter the ring.  Magic comes out.  Each of us has a gift that is meant to shine and shine. So I love the symbol of Star for its has so many meanings.  I encourage you to find your own definition of what the Star within means to you.

The truth is that I  could have substituted the following words for Star:
Light, passion, purpose,power, dream, focus, intention, genius, brilliance, specialness,unique gift, love, gratitude, God , truth, or essence. So for me, finding the Star within encompasses all these qualities.

I'd love to hear what Finding the Star means to you. Read what some of my friends and clients think that Finding the Star within means and add your on interpretation!
