It has been a quiet summer for pastlifetourist.com, as a few of you may have noticed. Maybe some of you imagined I had taken a leave of absence from life and was basking in the sun somewhere with a cool drink in hand and many cabana boys jumping to do my bidding.
Alas, no.
However, despite the lack of cabana boys and sandy beaches, I am happy to tell you that my summer has been quite spectacular. Life changing really.
Funny thing happened. Back when I was writing the Daily Halo and Weekly Halo-Scopes, the same messages kept coming up over and over and over. Being the smart cookie that I am I eventually figured out that maybe those messages were meant for me, and not just the people who subscribed to them.
The messages were all the same. Time to make a change. Move on and follow your dreams. Trust in the beauty of your dreams. Make the leap of faith.
During that time I was working a day job that did not fulfill me, and being overscheduled, stressed and getting those nasty little frowny lines at the corners of my mouth. Not a good thing. So one day, while bemoaning my circumstances for the gajillionth time to my long suffering and patient American Husband, he said something that made absolute and perfect sense.
“Why don’t you just quit? If you don’t try your healing business and writing now, when will you?” What a wise guy, am I right? If not now, when?
And so I gave notice at my job (which was a perfectly nice job, just not MY job) and jumped into a life of self employed exhilaration two weeks later.
Funny thing about taking a leap of faith: every time I have taken the leap (every single time), my wings magically appear and I can fly. Every. Single. Time. And this was no exception. As soon as I made my quiet little announcement on Facebook that I would be open for business, people started to show up. And not just clients (though those have been coming in droves, for which I am eternally grateful!) but other people. People I didn’t even know I would need, people who could be supportive or helpful, all started showing up, offering assistance.
“If you advance confidently in the direction of your own dreams, and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unimagined in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau
My days now consist of doing what feels right and important. I work with clients doing Reiki, Regressions and Readings, and am blessed with a thriving practice. I host workshops on angels, past lives, and all sorts of soul stuff with my beautiful friend Erin from clumsygrace.com .
I got to do readings at an Angel Tea Party this week! Can you even imagine how fun that is?
And the coolest thing of all is that I have taken time this summer to finally finish my book, Pieces of Me, Memoirs of a Past Life Tourist, which will be released this fall. Stay tuned to this space for exciting cover reveal and release dates. (AAAHHHHH!!!!!!)
I am living the life of my dreams. It took a long time to trust that I could make this change, but now that it’s done I wonder why the heck I didn’t do it sooner.
So please my friends: Anyone who is standing at the edge wondering if it is safe to finally jump… go for it. Leap with all of your mighty faith and feel those beautiful wings appear. They’ve been there all along, just waiting for a chance to fly.
