September's energies were not wrong after all...
The other day I was looking at the calendar and realized the month was almost over. Yikes! What had I accomplished? Here I was when it began, saying let's get moving, the time is ripe for progress! There were still four whole months left in the year - plenty of space for opportunity and growth! Numerology, astrology, oracles, etc. (and heck, even logic 😛) all pointed toward that message. Go! Do something! Now! And yet these weeks later I felt like I wasn't much further along than before. I spent most of the year prior feeling very stuck. Turns out because I was not entirely on my correct path. I kept aiming (stubbornly, but with the best intentions) for a direction that was not in my highest good. I believed it was, although I knew I had been ignoring certain signs to the contrary. And well, when you don't listen to the whispers of intuition, eventually Spirit starts screaming at you. I struggled through that transition for much of August. (Though truthfully, it was a lot less of a struggle than how I felt beforehand.) Thankfully, assistance from my fellow lightworkers, as well as my own practice, helped move things along a bit more smoothly and release those old energies. And as the fog lifted, I felt so much more possibility open up before me. I was finally fully back on my path. Back on my path, or simply standing in front of it? I know a few weeks is not really much time in the grand scheme of things, but it's about taking one step forward at a time, not remaining stagnant. As my current wallpaper says, "an inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention." Action is the fastest way to success. But had I followed through on any of that advice? 😏 Today, as I was discussing this week's particularly busy schedule, and all that I have going on right now, I was reminded just how far I've come. I've refocused on what is important in my life. Gotten clearer about the things I want and need. And yes, I HAVE stepped forward. In just these handful of weeks I have done a LOT, actually. I've continued to immerse myself in energy work, more than I have in a long time. I've pushed myself to get out, try new things, create better balance in my life. That, as always, is a work in progress, but I've had a bunch of fun experiences (hello, zip-lining!), and really stretched myself out of my comfort zone. Even more so in my professional life - this week's bold venture into vending solo is proof enough! Not only am I preparing for my Doterra booth on Saturday, I happen to be taking part in a week long life focus challenge at the same time. And just last week I enrolled in The Essential Oil Institute to take my education to the next level and better serve my clients. This on top of trying to finish up my Canine Massage Therapy certification. Oh, and next week I add in Shamanic training classes. Of course, all of this is in addition to running one business, trying to build another on the side, wrapping up dog show season, plus taking care of myself along with all the day to day "stuff" of life. And hitting any fun classes (yay, bellydancing!) I have the chance to in between all that. What am I, nuts? 😅 How am I not overwhelmed by all this? Well, I certainly would have been a mere month ago! But when it's right, it's right. Not to say it doesn't get intimidating! But I am going where I'm guided, and saying "yes" again to opportunity. As Aerosmith says, "life's a journey, not a destination." Try to enjoy it. Although I'm still gonna reach for MANY more goals on that journey, too. 😉 I'm done with drifting! 2017 IS a year of new beginnings. We just had a lot of crap to work through and let go of in the first 8 months before things really got moving forward. September was an intense culmination of that energy, the final push. There are a just few days left in the month now... How are you going to end it?

Apparently part of the flow of this new venture is nothing going quite the way I planned or expected. I'm guessing that's part of the whole "letting go" lesson for me. (Have I mentioned how annoying that can be? Yes, I have slight control issues. LOL) In any case, I have finally taken a more tangible step forward with Miwae Energetics. Last week I joined doTerra as a "wellness advocate" - meaning I now sell one of the top brands of therapeutic quality essential oils. This is still quite new to me, but it suddenly felt like a step in the right direction. Check out the great stuff at http://www.mydoterra.com/miwae. Now, I did have a developing interest in essential oils and figured I might add them in as part of my business at some point. However I never thought I would be basically starting with that. I didn't even expect that doTerra would be the company I got involved with when that time came. But as I began learning more about oils in general, and using those particular oils for myself with great success, things just seemed to fall into place. And well, isn't that what it's all about? Following the path set before you, seizing opportunities, taking chances...
I have a great mentor in oils, who was taught by a doctor, and has years of experience, so there is an excellent support system of knowledge here. And as my own education continues, and my passion grows, how could I not want to share that with others? So here we are making our way on the journey. No idea where to go with it, to be honest, but it feels right nevertheless. So it must be. It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds... It's been a very bumpy one, and a slow start to actually moving forward on this new endeavor. I've lost my way a few times. And life has gotten in the way, as it often does for all of us.
All of my guidance lately has been telling me to take that leap, even without knowing what's ahead. I'm a planner; that's not easy for me to do. Especially when I don't always know what leap I'm supposed to take! There are so many ideas and options and possibilities floating around my head that it gets overwhelming at times. Unsure of which road I'm heading down. If I can, if I should, if I even want to... I said I would take one small step at a time. That I would reach for this new dream. But here's a confession: I'm only human. Sometimes those steps are backwards. Often they're not taken at all. Held back out of fear, when you get down to it. But it happens. I'm not perfect. Imagine that! ;-) I said I'd take you with me on my journey, although I expected it'd be further along by now. But perhaps this is how it's meant to be. To truly share it from the very beginning. Each step, each hurdle, maybe even each fall, but hopefully more successes. So follow along, here and on facebook, where I will share inspiration and information, probably some randomness just for fun, and eventually some business... whatever that turns out to be. As I rediscover my destined path, my hope in sharing all this is that it will somehow benefit you, the reader. That perhaps along the way, you will grow with me. Let's see where life takes us... |
