I relate well to your not knowing what to say to others - changes taking place on a deep personal level sometimes can't easily be described! I try to go easy on myself....I'm learning as I go. Thanks for sharing your story. Hi Nikki,

I love how you have re-discovered yourself and your passions – not an easy thing to do, and it must feel great! I relate well to your not knowing what to say to others – changes taking place on a deep personal level sometimes can’t easily be described! I try to go easy on myself….I’m learning as I go. Thanks for sharing your story.

I have so much to do (heartwork, healing, reading, connecting, visioning, listening) but it is so challenging to be in social situations here in the South of England where one of the first things I am asked is what are you doing?'so what have you been doing with yourself lately?' by which they mean 'work' 'gainful employment.' (this was hardly ever a conversation opener where i lived in scotland). It's so hard to respond, it's a rare occasion when i would feel comfortable sharing the kind of thoughts i have shared here without feeling that i'm going to be judged as a 'flake', somehow insubstantial. i think it's a lot to do with the predominance of a status, ego driven society i live in here and dance away from as much as possible ;) but that's taking some skill! Any suggestions Jenna? maybe i could just let them think i'm being lazy? Domine - i was a teacher, high school and left teaching 10 years ago now, i have felt a lot of pressure since then to take another 'respectable' job, to be traditionally 'career' minded but simply haven't had the energy to move in this direction. Instead i've been exploring therapies and creativity, the psyche, and feel immense gratitude to have re-discovered what i am innately passionate about - i hope in time to be making a living with these talents. 5 years of downtime on a scottish island helped enlighten me, i became aware that there were other ways of being in this world and i discovered that they suited me better than the fast track. ‘laziness’ yes, I am anything but lazy at the moment and yet it is difficult to find the words to express what I am doing when people ask.

I have been in therapy since Jan, journaling as much as I can, meditating, practising self-care (though still struggling with nurturing my body - i have always been very cerebral/ spirit orientated) and i am reading lots and feel so privileged to have the time to read and expand. I have been visioning my dream life and i feel i am nearer but there are still set-backs, periods of high-energy, great productivity and then depressions and lulls: but energised, expansive days have been more predominant ;) Of late I have been experiencing a fighting energy which is centred in my heart, it is nothing violent, it is determination, a heart impelled determination. I'm not entirely sure where this determination will lead me yet but it is good to feel it again, it is so resilient . I'm also aware of lots of friends, friends of friends shifting too, it can get scary at times but I know it is a positive shift. Thanks for your wisdom and support Jenna. wonderful article thank you, i feel reassured that what i’m feeling isn’t just me. i am experiencing a real sense of urgency re. aligning with my purpose and right livelihood at the moment – the energy began to arrive in December when I resigned from my job in an organic cafe and has been instensifying ever since.

You've helped me see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Grace - Thank you very much for the supportive words. I agree that questions are so powerful. I will keep asking and listening for answers. Jenna - Thank you for your encouragement and reassurance. The Authentic Work sounds great. Just thinking that word, 'authentic', feels so good. Bonnie - You have definitely given me food for thought. I will try to find that show on the Discover Health Channel. You are right, there are people out there who want to know! I resonate with the ideas of being both a teacher and a healer. It would be good to incorporate both into my work, somehow. Thank you so much for your ideas. Thanks everyone for the kind replies.

There was such an urgency and force about my need to get out of there that I literally felt propelled out, and it also gave me the momentum I needed to start something new, something real, something that mattered to me. I am now in the process of beginning to work with people and horses, to help them understand and heal each other, and to show people how living authentically allows them to connect more meaningfully to animals and to nature. I know that this is where my natural talent lies, in sensing what both people and animals need and helping them to find it in each other, and I'm so excited.

It was FUN though to look out and see the beautiful picturesque scene with everything covered with snow. I then had a dream that very night when I went to bed which was really the next day the 2nd since it was early wee hours, in this dream I dreamed that I had twins and they were one(1) day old. I knew what it meant for me and I was elated as i have wanted to get going for some time yet never seem to have the energy to get going. So March 1, is New Energy coming in and the birth of much is raring to get going. I started noticing a rabbit outside my window last year and would watch it when it appeared then one day there was a friend with it so I said it's mate, and the last time I saw them was about September and there was three this time, they danced around hoping from spot to spot playing and then they disappeared. I would watch out my window for them yet they never showed again. I really missed seeing them but I just thought they had just gone away to another place, and Voila! on Monday I see my first rabbit since, then hoping past in the white snow. Yes! Spring and fertility! birth! My how I AM looking forward to the birth of my New Venture that I have been creating in my mind and on paper.! TO DOMINE I just watched on Discover Health Channel a program called Strictly Sex With Dr Drew. Sex: Fact or Fiction. I don't know whether you have ever seen this show, I know it was the first time I have seen it on cable here. He says he does radio show answers questions that people call in to ask. Tonight's show i listened to some of the questions that people asked and there surely is a thirst out there for answers to people's questions. INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! so you enjoy advising relatives so perhaps you can set up a practice/office (home based too) of teaching people how to heal themselves. Perhaps you are to be a teacher- healer. I hope that helps!
