What in the WORLD is going on??

A lot of clients lately have asked, "what is going on?" "Why is my life going in this direction?" "What do you think about all of these changes?" "Will I survive this economic crisis?" And I consistently have channelled the same answer. We are in the midst of a cosmic shakedown... a spiritual reconciliation... an economic progression. I know that may not sound like what you hear in the news (if you choose to listen - I personally do not) yet it seems true with the messages and readings that I have experienced.

Not everyone I know is experiencing strife. A new restaurant opened down the street... and around the corner a gallery closed down and reopened with a new owner within three weeks. People are quitting "secure" employment to follow their dreams as a practitioner, travel agent, writer or bartender. There are many new beginnings to see around us when we get out of the shadow of the press and watch others following their dreams.

I don't mean that this is a free-for-all with everyone experiencing change or that initially it is an exciting transition. For many, the shock of having one income where there were two can be tragic, and yet a blessing. My husband is one of the many who has been given involuntary release to follow his dreams (aka., downsized). Two weeks before Christmas, he was laid off and my first thought, and word, was "Congratulations!" Sure, there were/are some concerns about his income, yet the opportunity for him to find more satisfactory work was prominent in my mind. He had worked in a position where he says he didn't quite "fit" and had desires for a different experience than what he was living at the time - spiritual reconciliation. We are blessed to have minimal debt and manageable expenses so it is working itself out. And, the excitement in his voice as he peruses the job listings is worth the uncertainty. He will find work more closely aligned with his ideals, and will be exercising the skills and talents that light him up. This makes life better all around for us.

This equalization is bringing us all back to authentic living... accepting our true calling... encouraging us to be who our spirit knows us to be. Getting us out of the box of expectation and on to the street of inspiration where we experience a bliss in our expression.

I'd love to hear from you about your experiences... beyond the experience of loss and into the awakening that you are experiencing thru it.

I wish you an authentic experience of yourself and the momentum to create life with it.
