I was thinking about some bereavements and heard myself think, ‘I’m going to die one day.’
And then…
I burst out loud with mischievous chuckling as I said with gusto, ‘But not any time soon!’
Given I’m 74 and generally, as my daughter lovingly affirmed recently, weird and eccentric, I loved the audacity in what I said.
It reminded me of L’Chaim, ‘long life,’ which is the Yiddish expression when clinking glasses.
For the older I get the richer life gets in non-material ways. The older I get the more opportunities I get to become more of the magnificent woman I was designed to be.
The older I get, although the body shows signs of aging for sure, the brighter my Wild Soul shines and my spirit generally soars.
So why am I telling you this?
Because it’s never-ever-ever too late… For me OR YOU… For anything and everything!
OK, yes, it’s too late for me to train as a brain surgeon or an aeronautical engineer. But did I want to be either of them anyway?
What’s really gorgeous is it’s never too late for self-development and reaping its rewards.
For example, only recently did I become aware that my tendency to over-eat and spend money I don’t have stems from my fear of visibility…
Who knew!
Having struggled with the eating and the money thing for seems-like-ever, awakened awareness of them as NOT issues themselves but only symptoms of my underlying fear gave me a red hot EUREKA moment.
And…
Without a single solitary soupçon of stress or heavy duty effort, I now enjoy eating and spending healthily in line with my highest good.
SHA-freakin-ZAM!
AND, I have to tell you, I’ve hated cooking with a passion and now absolutely love cooking from scratch. A positive knock-on effect of my awakened awareness!
Anyhow…
Understanding the real top-of-the-pile issue enabled its symptoms to resolve without me having to trawl through my history looking for ‘bad’ experiences, etc. etc. etc. ad finitum!
Powerfully, the focus of all healing can now be on the part of me that so fears being visible, bless her.
I wonder… What might be the top-of-the-pile issue for a behaviour you’d like to change???
Love and warm wild wishes…
Find your divine spark and direction,
Know who you are, where you’re going
And what you came here to do!
PS… This is just a tiny taste of the work we’ll do in Spirit School launching October because, as well as being a spiritual programme, you’ll also be working with behaviour you’d like to change. If, like 9 women already in the loop, you’d like to be kept up to date about my awesome small group programme and offers, reply here.
