More than a few years ago I decided to take a turn in the road and walk away from how things were going in my life so far. I realized that the job I had, although fun, wasn’t giving my heart anything to sing about. That was when I started looking into life coaching training and other ways I could use my art as a way to help people wake up to their own creative nature. Luckily, I had a friend that helped me notice all the support there was to make this change, so I leapt. From that one little leap came so many changes: getting divorced, being laid off, rediscovering my art, getting married, becoming a mama, going back to school (three times!), starting a business.
Along the way though a lot of challenges arose, times that I had to rely solely on my own knowing, my own heart’s wisdom. That lesson, listening to my heart, was the hardest of them all. Finding silence in the midst of all the change, to listen and feel inside, was the best education for me. I learned how to stand strong in my own knowing and how to hold tight to that knowing through the years of making changes happen. Even though it can take an instant to decide to go back to school, it can take years for that schooling to be over and a few more to allow the new path to take root. There is always going to be a chance to turn back, to stop, but why settle for anything less than the heart is calling for?
Go ahead, take a moment to listen and enjoy what you hear.
