Life's journey often takes unexpected turns, leading us down paths we never imagined.
Join me as I share a deeply personal and transformative chapter of my life, filled with sacrifice, ambition, trust and the pursuit of dreams amidst uncertainty.
As I travel on my journey of seeing my dream of publishing four books, launching a new website, and creating a plethora of tools and content for a world in need of healing, I have found myself facing many obstacles and challenges. These last few weeks have presented me with yet another set of uniquely challenging experiences. Anyone who has committed themselves to becoming self-employed knows that professional aspirations intertwine with practical responsibilities. For me, this translated into leaving my home and husband in Baja, MX where I live to take a nanny position in the States for five months, to support my financial business goals.
Picture this: a going-away party in beautiful Baja, Mexico, surrounded by friends, clients, loved ones, laughter, and a tinge of bittersweet anticipation.
I was leaving my husband behind for a five-month period, venturing to the United States to fulfill a professional commitment. The decision wasn't easy, but it was driven by a deep passion and determination to see my dreams of having four of my books published come to fruition.
Why a nanny position, you might wonder? Because it is great income, a way to continue to practice my craft of staying connected to and understanding the development of a child and time to focus on the editing and marketing of my writing and publishing journey. I spent three years as as a nanny from 2019-2021 when I was studying conscious parenting and wanted to hone in on and practice my craft, so it seemed like a logical thing to do, to raise the money required to fulfill my publishing contracts.
The going-away party wasn't just a farewell; it was a celebration of new beginnings, of stepping outside comfort zones, and embracing the unknown. It symbolized the sacrifices made in pursuit of a greater vision, a legacy of empowerment and transformation.
Fast forward to the present, and my journey has taken unexpected twists and turns. The original nanny position I had lined up fell through, as well as the 2nd and 3rd positions that I had lined up after that.
This sudden change in plans certainly led to moments of uncertainty and discomfort. Yet, amidst these challenges, I found strength and resilience in practicing what I teach—stepping outside my comfort zone, refraining from disempowering thoughts, trusting the unfolding of the present moment and the understanding that we are ONE with ALL of our CREATIONS - our reality and experiences are amongst those creations.
This journey I'm navigating goes beyond book publishing or business growth; it's a living demonstration of resilience, personal growth, and a steadfast belief in my capacity to shape my reality—a principle I fervently impart to my clients. It's about welcoming discomfort as a spark for transformation and placing trust in the boundless possibilities that await us.
Despite the uncertainties of what lies ahead—whether it's the manifestation of the required finances for my projects or the duration of my stay in vibrant Colorado—I find solace in knowing that I am abundantly blessed, continually guided, shielded, and cherished by the infinite source. By cultivating gratitude in each moment, I trust that everything will unfold as it's destined to.
I encourage you to take a moment for self-reflection. Consider the sacrifices you've made in chasing your dreams, the ways challenges have fortified your resilience and determination, and where you might find yourself ensnared in disempowering thoughts. Reflect on your ability to remain present and appreciate what you already possess, versus falling into patterns of victimization and negative thinking.
Keep in mind that each twist and turn in our lives presents an opportunity for growth and empowerment, should we choose to embrace it.
If you haven't already, I recommend embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth and transformation. Trust in your journey and your abilities, knowing that you have the power to manifest the reality you desire. This means stepping outside your comfort zone and having faith in your path and your interconnectedness with all that exists.
