Awaken, Grand Universe!

Snow is supposed to be on its way here this morning, so that’s exciting!  I’m up early, and it’s still too dark to see the sky.  But, I’m hoping.

I went to bed early, and I slept pretty well, but I am up early this morning, and I still feel drained, and my body is achy.  That might just be from my run the other day, but I think I might be fighting off some sickness.

I had a heart-to-heart talk with my boss at Bean yesterday.  We talked about opportunity for me, and my future.

This was a conversation that was overdue on my part.  I share this because I want you to know that I face some of the same struggles that you do, Dear One – the old stories and beliefs.  They hold us pretty securely, and a lot of the time, that hold is way down deep, so that we may not realize it as easily.

I had taken this job a little over a year ago, and then was quickly promoted.  At the time, I had expressed that I was looking for security – a full-time, well-paying gig.

I’ve been doing a good job, I’ve become a leader, and I know my boss has been working hard trying to create that secure position that I had asked for, concerned that he might otherwise lose me altogether.

The thing is, my vision has changed.  For one thing, I know my body can’t do forty hours on the floor every week.  Not anymore.  It wears me out, and I lose my joy and spirit.

Also, though, I want more time for my coaching business.  I want to be coaching, and to have the time to develop and market my coaching skills.  That’s what makes my heart soar.  I need more of that in my life.

I want more time for family – my wife, our parents, and our extended family.  I want to be available for love and support.

I also want to take my place within my community.  I keep thinking how important it is to know what it is that I stand for.  And, it’s time for me to Rise Up and Live It!  This is new for me, but It’s Time!

 

Here is a Prompt for Today:

This was another example, Dear One, of how simple it actually was to follow my integrity.

In the end, my boss was grateful to know where I stand and what I want.  It was okay that that had changed.  That happens.

What truth are you hiding from, Dear One?  What dreams are you not expressing?

Are you willing to open your heart and acknowledge for yourself what you want and what matters to you?

Are you willing to do something about it?

What is it costing you not to?

 

Knowing to do.  Thankfully, The Knowing is patient, and it’s always ready when, finally, we are.  Much Love, My Dear Guides!
