well, I'm back. It has been a while since I have written, lots going on. A husband healing, a dad healing, a son in recovery and healing, and now this time is for me and for all of you who are reading my blog.
As we journey on through life we are faced with what really makes us happy. What makes us feel so good that we become the "twirlers" of our own lives? I am at that very place right now, the place of self-discovery, the place of truth. There comes a time in each of our lives where we must be the person we were born to be.
Are you sitting behind a desk asking yourself what you are doing there? I am, and I know that I am NOT living in my own skin. But I can reflect upon a time when I was. I remember standing in a room full of wonderful people, mentoring to them as they continued their weight loss journey. I used to think I was helping them and maybe I was, but as I reflect upon it now, 12 years later, I realize that it was I who was being shown the way. That experience showed me that my place, the place I could feel "purpose" in was in front of all those people. I was reaching them, I could see the sparkle in their eyes, I could feel it in their laughter, I could feel it inside myself. THAT was my purpose, the communicator, the relationship builder, the facilitator. The magic lied there in front of my face and inside my heart and soul. Only I didn't see it until now. So my purpose will become reborn again. I am going back to the world of motivational speaking, of reaching out to those who need to feel "purpose."
Tell me what you think.....
