Wake Up Goddess

Seven years ago today... I was working at a job I hated for an organization with questionable ethics for people I didn't like or respect. My soul was suffocating so I left and found another job.

Five years ago today... I was working at a job I hated for an organization with questionable ethics for people I didn't like or respect. My soul was suffocating so I left and found another job.

Are you starting to see a pattern emerge here?

Three years ago today... I was working at a job I hated for an organization with questionable ethics for people I didn't like or respect. My soul was suffocating so I left and found another job.

One year ago today... I was working as a freelance writer and project manager (finally, some progress) for an organization with questionable ethics for people I didn't like or respect. My soul was suffocating so I...

... Decided to follow my passion with purpose and I started my own business in the spiritual arts. My little business is still growing, still realizing its full potential in the world. But for the first time in my life I really LOVE what I do.

I love working with metaphysically minded people who, like me, want to grow and expand beyond the limiting reality they've known in the past. I love being my own boss and letting spirit move me to do "the right thing at the right time."

My soul is no longer suffocating. I am breathing in deeply every day the joy that this new life brings me. Now, my soul is soaring!

This weekend I presented some amazing spiritual workshops to an even more amazing group of people. All throughout the process I was in a creative, spiritual space that made the "work" I was doing seem effortless and uplifting.

This morning, still high off of this wonderful experience, I slept in a bit with my doggies curled up beside me. I laid there, warm and cozy, stretching and humming to myself as I literally felt the blessings and possibilities rain down on me from above. (Such a contrast to the dreadful, hectic Monday mornings I experienced when I lived in Corporate America.)

Now I know I am truly blessed. But I also recognize that this blessing is a direct result of my desire to change a painful and self-destructive pattern. I am blessed because I finally recognized that the problem with all those crappy jobs wasn't the job ~ it was me.

Yes, the jobs were terrible. But I chose those experiences didn't I? I chose them because I needed to learn that I didn't belong in that world. Because no matter how hard I tried, I would never belong. I had to learn to stop trying to be what everyone else thought I should be and let my wise soul lead me to my true path.

So ask yourself now... Where is my wise soul trying to lead me? What do my choices and their consequences tell me about who I really am? And what is one thing I can do today to draw myself closer to my true path?
