Toy Bagpipes, Edinburgh - 2011
It's time to be honest. Even with all the positive things going on in my life right now (graduating from health coaching and culinary school, a new job) I have been feeling an emptiness deep down inside. I haven't felt joyous every time I get up to start my day. I have been confused and worried about these feelings and then I connected to the heart of the matter. I miss Scotland. I miss it to the depths of my soul. Well, the good news is that I've been in this place before...
While I was busy with two schools and a part time job this past year I barely had time for anything else, so no hard core pining for Scotland. Now, I have time and I feel the loss quite acutely.
So what do I do now you might ask??? I have been asking myself this too and the answer is, start at the beginning. But this time, it's a shiny new beginning. This time, I am starting from a totally different me. It's Lee Ann 2.0.
I've started reading through my blog...retracing the amazing journey that I have created thus far. I was even reading some old interviews I did on a friend's website and one part jumped out at me:
"I’ve been thinking, on and off, for a while now that I might want to become a life coach some day. Or at least get trained to be one. I think it would go along really nicely with what I’ve been creating with The Lion’s Share."
That was in September, 2010. Pretty awesome, right?
I simply cannot deny that Scotland has become a permanent thread, woven deep inside of me and each time I have had to tear myself away to the states, the hole that's left in it's place gets bigger.
Life is a spiral, after all...
So here I am, seemingly right back where I began, but oh so much closer.
