starting over again
Every time I get in a nice rhythm of life, something magical happens to change my direction. My mom always told me everything happens for a reason. Most of the time I didn’t see the benefits of those reasons and wondered why now? Why does everything have to be so challenging? Why doesn’t something good happen?
Looking back on most of the big changes in my life I realize that things really did happen FOR me, not TO me. I didn’t like that job. That relationship wasn’t serving me. I wasn’t learning or growing from that experience. If those things hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be exactly where I’m supposed to be today.
So once again, life comes at me and forces a change. I created Solo with Soul during the stay at home orders this Spring and it continues to grow and evolve. I went back to waiting tables to pay the bills while the world continues to change daily, and now that is not an option again. So I’m taking that as a big sign from the Universe to really get to work. I have found something I’m truly excited and passionate about. Now, I need to take inspired action and build my brand and community.
Have you found that something that just really lights a fire under you? I had no idea what that felt like until Solo with Soul was born. I spent a lot of time meditating and listening to my inner voice when the world shut down. I had never trusted my intuition before. I took the time to cut myself off from the world and learn to love just being with myself. I finally found peace, love, and happiness. I realized how lucky and grateful I was for everything that I am and have. I have come so far on this journey. This growth and acceptance didn’t just happen overnight though. It has taken YEARS to get to this point. The pandemic shut down gave me the opportunity to do some real work that I didn’t have the time or dedication to do before. I finally experienced some moments of clarity and relief. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. I had been on this path trying to find my way “home” and I had the power all along to just choose to live the life that I always dreamed of. I was meant to encounter all the people and experiences to get to this moment of clarity.
Are you feeling scared and uncertain during this pandemic? Are you feeling stuck? Life keeps giving us lemons, let’s make lemonade!! There has never been a better time to start over. The world has given us an amazing opportunity to learn, grow, and shift into whoever we want to be. If you could do anything, what would it be? What is stopping you? What is the worst thing that could happen if you choose different? (I think most of us have already experienced the worst, jobless with no income and forced to stay home.) This is your chance to change your life. Don’t wait any longer. Embrace this awesome opportunity to become the person you always wanted to be and live the life you always dreamed of.
