The winds of change.......

The winds of change, oh how they are blowing through my life right now. I have always been a person who loves change, an instigator, really. One phrase that always gets my hackles up is "But we've always done it this way." Over the years as a social worker I have been irritated by that phrase, and pushed the people around me to allow for new growth. I have to say that I have really outdone myself this time. In the last 6 weeks I have left my full-time job, left my career behind, and have become the mother of a 14 year old boy. Not to mention working at Healing Hands full-time and preparing to submit my first book for publication. I now get to teach metaphysics, and practice my intuitive gifts everyday without hesitation. This is a direction I have dreamt of taking for many years, and now here it is. Amazing how it all feels kind of ordinary, like it is what I have always been meant to do. I find myself reaching out to my guides and angels more than ever before. I took a giant leap of faith, leaving behind a good salary and a stable job. For a while it was a little terrifying to think about, but I am adjusting. When I ask my angels what's next they just sort of smile and ask me what is next. I recently asked for help with finishing my book and was told that I actually had to work on it to get the guidance I need. Oh yeah, hadn't thought of that. I actually have time to sit and do nothing now, which is truly a challenge for me. I have always felt sort of guilty when I wasn't busy, like I was wasting valuable time. Now I realize that some of the most valuable time in my life is when I get to be at peace, and not have anywhere to go or anything to do. I know that I hear my angels and guides more clearly now because there is less clutter in my mind getting in the way. My spirit guide, MaryAnn, is so soft spoken, I realize I have been missing a lot of her guidance because there was too much outside chatter, I simply couldn't hear her through it all. For a long time I have been a crisis manager, putting out one fire after another. Without all that crisis in my life now I sometimes struggle to find direction. I was just always directed to the next problem to solve, now I actually have to decide where to go next. I have had so many ideas waiting for me to work on, now I need to pick one and get started. Funny how I have been teaching people how to get started on their path for years, and now I have to put my own advice into practice. So here I go, meditating again, drawing cards for myself, doing Reiki on myself, using my pendulum and activator, lighting candles, and trusting my intuition. I think we never reach the end of our journey because we must begin again and again. I am so blessed to have a supportive partner and loving friends and family who stand behind me while I take a leap that some might think is a little nuts. I truly am leaping into the abyss with my intuition as my guide. I don't know what will happen next, I only know that I am in the right place, and the rest will come. About 15 years ago I read the book "Developing Intuition" by Shakti Gawain and was inspired to work at trusting myself and validating my intuition. It is a process I will work on for the rest of my life, but I do feel that I am at a point now where my intuition is my first line of defense in every situation. How blessed I am to get to go on this journey.....let the winds of change blow, I'm ready!
