For 7 years I worked in administration, it was a good job paid pretty well and wasn’t taxing on me – being over 60 and overweight, but I kept getting nudges from my inner voice to give up. I ignored these thinking what a stupid idea – “I’ll never get another job like this at my age” – I have realised I’m very good at ignoring my hearts guidance by keeping ‘busy’, but God, the Universe or whatever you prefer to call the higher power that knows what is best for us always finds a way to wake us up, with me usually by a huge shock to the system, out of the blue my branch in the company was closed and I lost my job.
That was 7 months ago, I spent the next 6 months doing little things which were beneficial to me but still kept ‘busy’ enough to keep running in circles ignoring ‘that voice’. I wasn’t unhappy but I had no joy inside, I knew I needed to start writing, I was doing things like a little yoga here and there, a walk occasionally, even hiking/climbing a couple of mountains but this was still so far from what my heart desired.
A dear friend had graciously bought me a van to start travelling this wonderful country of ours and I spent a couple of nights being adventurous, not at all what my dream had been – anyway that’s a whole other blog.
I’ve known for years that EVERYTHING happens for a reason and that God works all things together for our good, so I am finally trying to walk the talk being true to myself. I have soaked my brain in some wonderful motivational podcasts (I’ll leave links for these in future blogs), have been practising yoga and meditation on a daily basis and eating a hell of a lot cleaner, working on giving up smoking – again and am now putting the effort into writing. I feel so much more joy and peace, so now I just want to say – watch this space🌈💜🌈
