Some of us have moments that served as a major turning point in our lives. Where we can look back and see that we had a moment in time where we had the opportunity to choose to do things differently. To put it simply, we can pivot. The time for me was in the fall of 2018 in London, England.
I’m sitting on a park bench in the Queen’s Garden in Regents Park, London…
In front of me are rows of rose bushes cut down for the winter season and preparing for regrowth. A squirrel scurries on the trellis above me as the ivy extends from the ground, wrapping around the timbers. The ivy leaves have changed to various shades of green, orange, red, and yellow as they begin to fall to the ground, exposing the strong branches and roots of the vines twisting and forming to the trellis. I see Robin birds flying about and playing through the rose bushes, hopping from branch to branch. I close my eyes and feel the crisp Autumn air on my face. I take a few deep breathes feeling the cool air travel down my throat, circulate through my lungs and feel my warm breath on the exhale.
As my eyes are closed, I call in all of my experiences from my mini-holiday from San Francisco to London. I had booked this trip on a whim after experiencing another moment of deep angst and sorrow, feeling desperate to have a break from it all. This is my first trip ever fully on my own, and I am hoping it can provide time and space from the “noise” to get centered and connect to my true heart’s desire.
In the stillness of this moment, with nature surrounding me and the slight buzz of the city in the distance, I breathe into my deepest wishes and it all comes rushing. I suddenly have the deep knowing and clarity on what I truly want. I want to harness my intuitive gifts and support others in their transformation to reach their highest potential and to live in the place that I love, England. I feel a tingling wave through my body, as though I just ignited the light within me. I can feel the energy flowing from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head, and back down again. I feel light. I feel free. I begin to cry tears of pure love and gratitude for this understanding and this KNOWING.
Less than a year after that grand moment of clarity and power, I had quit my family business, disentangled myself from the codependency with my Mother and others, sold all of my belongings, enrolled in a coaching course, and moved to England to step into my highest calling of being a coach and living where I felt the happiest. Since that moment, I have never looked back… ok ok, maybe just a glance here and there 😉. Nonetheless, I continue to move forward and I am fully committed to living a life with my whole heart. Things have happened between now and then which didn’t go to “plan” (a pandemic, anyone?), and yet I surrender to each moment, trusting in the unfolding, and continue to discover the magic in the unknown. I have been honored to serve many people on their journeys during this time, whilst traveling the world and continuing to experience great levels of expansion within myself.
I am grateful for the life I have every day. I live a life that I love! I adore what I do, and know that if I can experience this transformation and all the miracles that come along with it, so can you. 🤍
