There’s so much to catch up on – my life has been in the most wonderful chaos for the past 6 weeks!
In February, BOTH my daughters had daughters – 27 hours apart! It’s been a miraculous, magical time and all are doing well. Needless to say, this Kaki’s been busy! Between traveling the 3 hours back and forth between them and helping my 91 year old Daddy who’s 4 hours the other direction, “On the Road Again” has become my new theme song – and I’m loving every minute of it!
On my drive back to Austin Monday, I was making my mental to-do list of all the things I needed to catch up on this week at home – bills, groceries, mow the yard, bathe the dog, hit the greenbelt, do taxes, work on the business, schedule clients, write this newsletter 😉- and it hit me: I’m DOING it – I’m actually LIVING my values!
I am exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to be doing, wherever I’m doing it! I don’t feel anxious or overwhelmed. I’m not OUTSIDE mySelf looking in – I’m IN the flow of my life. It can be chaotic and unpredictable and yet, wherever I am, I’m present for it. Present in it. That’s the magic! I’m content. Home in my skin. FREE!
I couldn’t have said that a few years ago. Oh, I thought I was free, and I was free in one sense, but I was so stuck. Deer in the headlights stuck. Kinda miserable stuck. Waiting for it to get better stuck. Ironically, I might not have gotten here if not for that damn pandemic and that really unfortunate marriage. Yep – I said it.🤷♀️And I’m about to glean some goodness from some really shitty life experiences, so get your barf bag. 🤢
Blessing #1: If not for the 2020 shut-down, I wouldn’t have transitioned to seeing clients virtually. Now I get to work with people all over the world from anywhere I am! I’m not scheduling my personal life around my work life anymore, which feels amazing – nor do I have all the trappings that came with maintaining the physical space to see clients. Cha-ching!
Blessing #2: If not for the trauma in my marriage, I wouldn’t have immersed mySelf deep in the healing work I did. It changed me. It changed my work. Getting to do this work with my clients every day genuinely lights my heart up!
I couldn’t have know how I’d feel today when I was neck-deep in the stuck, but what I do know is this: The Soul knows when we’re ready to grow – it’s the ego we have to wrangle, with all it’s excuses and self-protecting sabotage. When you get that Soul nudge, lean in – it knows the way.
Speaking of wrangling😊 between April 15-June 1, I’ll be taking late afternoon/early evening sessions ONLY on Tues, Wed, and Thursdays. Monday hours will remain 10-5. So if we’re already working together or you’re planning to start this month, don’t wait to schedule your sessions – they’ll go fast!
