Old Friends
That’s me with The Lion of Scotland in St. Andrew’s Square, Edinburgh, 2011. See that look on my face? That is pure ME, walking the path of my soul’s purpose (not that I knew it at the time)…
Once again I find myself in the position of fighting for who I truly am. Every day I am trying to connect to what it is I am meant to do in this world. I know I am closer but it doesn’t make the present an easier place to be.
I’ve spent the past 2 years pursuing a new work path, starting with my volunteer time in Scotland. When I had to return to the states I floundered a bit before deciding on health coaching and culinary school. I knew I wanted to use what I had learned during my herbal apprenticeship in combination with health coaching and cooking to help people create happier and healthy lives. Now, two certificates later, I am still struggling to put together my program. I can feel the essence of how I want to work with and help people but I am having a hard time putting it down on paper in the form of an actual program or class.
I know that I want to work as part of a team once again (something I miss terribly right now working as a personal chef). I also know that I want my classes or workshops to create community within the group. I learned a lot about sharing a common life on Iona and realise that I operate at my best as part of the group.
I know I want to go back to Scotland. The mere thought of booking my next plane ticket is keeping me going right now.
And..I know I want to work with you! I want to let you in on the secret I discovered a while ago…that following your bliss and taking personal responsibility for your life will transform you. I want to support you in that journey by sharing mine, struggles and all, because sometimes following your bliss is not an easy thing to do…but when you acknowledge what you really want…it becomes necessary. It becomes your soul purpose.
