As I have been approaching my 40th birthday I have been reflecting on my life. What a wonderful journey this has been! I feel like I have finally figured out who I really am. Last spring around my 39th birthday I started waking up in the morning with my feet aching. It slowly got worse day by day. When I would wake up and take my first steps my feet were in so much pain. Then after awhile of being up and walking on them the pain would start to subside but never really go away. So after about 8 months of this I finally went to get a massage in November. The massage therapist asked me if I had any health issues. I said, "No I'm really healthy, the only thing is this issue with my feet that seems to be getting worse and worse." She paused for a moment and then asked me if I was resisting moving forward in an area of my life. The moment she asked I knew EXACTLY what it was. Yes, Yes, Yes!! For several months I had been having a very strong feeling that it was time to step into my life purpose and start my teaching. Although I had been teaching others things I've learned along the way for years but not fully as my main focus. I was making great money at my job and it was a difficult decision to let go of that security. But after the massage therapist had brought this to my attention I knew she was right and I had to let go of my fear and really step into the REAL me.
I started making plans and laying the groundwork. The thought that kept coming up for me was, "What day is the day to start living the life you were put on this earth for? What are you waiting for?" Even though a little bit of self-doubt and fear would creep up I would redirect and reach more for excitement. As I started making plans and taking action on my life purpose my feet pain was diminishing. My last day at my job was February 26, 2016. My first retreat with 19 women teaching my jewels I've learned along my journey was the following weekend March 4, 5 & 6th. What a beautiful experience with these beautiful women! Yesterday March 11, 2016 I turned 40 years old. My feet pain is gone and I have stepped into the REAL me. It feels amazing!!
