WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THIS WEEK?

 

Where in the World are You This Week?

Recently, I came to terms with the fact that I have a gypsy soul…I mean I really and truly came to terms with this reality…

It’s a reality that I’ve struggled with most of my life as a result of traditional upbringing by traditional Baby Boomer parents; parents who wanted me to grow up, go to post secondary, get a good job, get married, have 2 kids, a dog and a house with a white picket fence…well you get the picture.

In reality, I followed (for the most part) my parents path for the first 45 years of my life…and then, at the age of 45, I hit my head off asphalt (long story about a horrific accident), and following the accident, I began to “wake up” in many ways…including no longer allowing the beliefs that were in grained in the first 45 years of my life continue to influence and control my life.

I always knew my soul calling was in the spiritual, unseen, arts…my interests when I was young were always in the esoteric. But, my parents influence always seemed to overshadow and influence my decisions, thus giving me an imposter syndrome of epic proportions.

Following the accident, (given that took another 3 years), I began to slough off the “OMG what will the neighbours think” mindset. I began to care more about how something made me feel, rather than caring about how it may appear to others. I opened up about being psychic, about performing ceremonies to acknowledge the phases of the moon and the changing of the seasons, I began to open my wings and accept that I was a gypsy who needed to travel in order to continue to grow. I needed to see how the rest of the world lived in order to better follow my true calling; being a psychic, intuitive counsellor who can support her clients in a loving and yet very honest way.

To that end, today, I travel 75% of the year, with my 11 year old son…some of that travel is “tourist-like”, but most of the travel is a study in human interactions, human energies with the end goal of having a better understanding of myself and the clients who come to me for support and assistance.

I personally don’t recommend planning a horrific accident in your life in order to bring about change. However, a sudden and drastic twist in your life circumstances can often be the catalyst you need to begin to follow your true dreams, wants, desires, and to find your true soul calling.
