Time has definitely changed me. 54 days ago I started this 365 day yoga challenge. Where did I think it would lead? A stronger body- naturally. Increased flexibility - of course. Open and expansive heart- most definitely. Back to the root of my soul - Hell YES!
Many shifts have occurred during the last 54 days. I have been under going what I like to call "Soul Cleaning". Much like Spring Cleaning, I have been tossing what not no longer serves. I decided to sell off my jewelry making supplies and close the chapter on Gypsy Rebel. It has been coming for a while. It was never meant to be a career, but more of a place holder until I could resume my real profession- Healing.
A hard decision to make after nearly two years of creating intention-fused pieces of magical adornments for others. It was a great way for me to use my hands and connect with others seeking something special for themselves. One day, as I sat at my small crafting table I realized that the time and effort I was putting into taking pictures, listing items on etsy, marketing, etc. Was time I could be using to get my business plan developed, re-up my certifications and engage in some much needed continuing education.
I admit, I am scared to death to re-open a private practice in the healing arts. In the past I had two very successful private practices in both Seattle and Salt Lake. I was lucky then. It all just seemed to fall into place so naturally and I had mentors and supporters who believed in me enough to help make my dream successful.
Life is different now. The challenges and sacrifice's that need to be made in order for this present dream to come true will impact my family greatly. After being a stay at home mom for the last 3 years, going back to work will inevitable have an effect on my loved ones.
My hope is that over the spring and summer months I can get all my business needs in place and develop routines and structures for my family that will lessen the blow of mommy being gone 3 - 4 days a week.
My husband and I have spoken in great lengths about what my plan is and how I can make this goal a reality. I'm hoping that fate and faith are both on my side with this choice.
Big Leap!
I will not continue to blog here anymore. My time is valuable right now and I have really had to hunker down and limit outside distractions in order to focus.
Closing doors on certain areas of my life has already opened so much possibility and for now I am going to bask in this space and enjoy every moment of it!
Thank you to any of my readers who stumble across this blog from time to time. It has been a pleasure sharing with you. Here is the link to my website...www.wholebodyalchemist.com It is a total seedling right now, but just the fact that I have started the first steps at re-emerging as a Wellness professional gives me great hopes that I am doing what great spirit had intended for me.
All my love,
Lindsay
