After several years of intuitively guiding friends and family towards their "true north", I came to a realization... yes, the proverbial light bulb.

While I witnessed my loved ones adjusting to their own internal compass, naturally, like people often do, I stood by their side, steadfast in my commitment towards supporting them. A  manifestation of my love. I noticed they were able to reach higher and deeper in the area of personal growth when they knew that they were not alone. They gained courage. Someone had seen them, listened to them, and acknowledged their deepest wishes.  

It was through this process that I experienced unexpected and exhilarating transformations with those closest to me. It wasn't until most recently that something made me take pause and reflect on my part in contributing to the "good news". 

I started to take note of the feedback and discovered a pattern. At the same time I was putting a question out into the Universe. I genuinely asked, from the deepest place in my heart, "How do I best serve in this world?" I opened myself up to really listen. I was honing in to something out there and something within, tuning in to my true north.

The feedback generally went something like this, 'you've helped me so much, you have helped me understand things differently than I had before, you know this is something you could pursue professionally". 

What a discovery! Although it had been right in front of me the whole time, so obvious, I didn't recognize it. I don't think it was a version of me I recognized, so I overlooked it. And when I checked inside to see if this resonated truthfully, my own celestial-like bells that go off when I am super happy, were ringing off the hook!

I'm assuming many folks have shared this kind of experience. It's wonderful. And at the same time not to forget all the work that led up to this moment. It's part of the mosaic of our lives, the very elements of our being. How beautiful and wonderful all those lackluster-like moments appeared to me now, like polished stepping stones across the river of my soul's journey. 

To cherish the "dullness" of life adds to the richness of life, which then multiplies the contentment we inevitably experience once we embrace all that is... this is balance. What a surprise- a hidden treasure!

As part of my celebration, my inclination was to invite others to the party. I wanted my friends and family to experience this amazing view. It was thrilling! To have so many interests and to narrow it down like this felt like finding a single rare flower meant just for me, in a field of rare flowers. I didn't see it at first, but once I allowed myself to really see it... wow!

As the multi-faceted flower petals of my internal realization unfurled, I realized, without a doubt-  that supporting people was something that I loved to do. The connection was finally made and it felt electrifying. I'm here for you to help you unlock the gridlock of your mind, so that you can reach your destination.

It's a joy to be offering this kind of light to the world. To honor that source of light within, through service, fills me with nothing but love and gratitude. It moves me. I thank those little sweet sparks of cognition, my lucky stars.
