Experience

For many years I worked in the corporate world in administrative and various support roles, getting great reviews, getting raises, working so hard, moving up the ladder, had the good salary, the 401k, profit sharing and was for the most part fairly happy with my career track. I was doing what I was "supposed" to be doing. But as I was approaching 40 something began happening to me. A fire began to stir, the truth of the life I had not been living began to come to the surface. Once I started to allow that feeling and use my intuition as my new compass there was no turning back.

That was in 2007. A month before I turned 40 I quit my stable, safe, non-creative job. I did not know what I was going to do next. I decided to see what it would be like to live my life day to day. To see what my heart and intuition told me. I was terrified. I did not know who I was without my job. My job was my identity and where most of my friends were. I lost who I was or who I thought I was and rediscovered who I truly was deep in my soul. I travelled, I wrote, I became a Life and Creative Coach and I allowed for creativity and the unknown to come into my life with full abandon. I learned about process and I learned to be brave. I learned to be REALLY brave. I learned that my job is to reveal the extraordinary in the ordinary, awaken power and dance in magic and mystery. It is also to create and to put myself out there. The rest is out of my hands.
