Be Careful What You Wish For...

As a child I often heard my grandmother say "Be careful what you wish for, you may get it." I did not pay attention as I was so sure I knew better. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the wisdom my grandmother possessed. She had not heard of the Law of Attraction nor had anyone else for that matter but she knew.

Over the last few years, if not my whole life, I've been searching for a purpose. Something to do as a career that is fulfilling and, yes, financially profitable. It has taken a lot of soul searching, visioning, meditating, praying and study to finally be comfortable saying I've found it.

I've worked in the medical field the majority of my life with a short foray into the field of adoption. Rewarding to an extent because I love working with the people who become not only patients or clients but also friends. However, all of these jobs have been just that...jobs. Not careers, not a purpose other than bringing in enough money to meet financial obligations.

Earlier in 2014, I finally figured out what I want to do when I grow up and grow up I have. Life coaching is the answer. I've experienced a lot in my earth journey and have survived and thrived. Why not share with others the fruits of my labor? As I finally accepted that this was the path I wanted to travel, people started coming into my life to assist me on my way.

Reiki classes, coaching classes, and then the answer to the wish. And the answer was and is somewhat scary.

As I pondered my path, I would think and say "I really would like to work a 20 hour week at a job and have more time to develop my life coaching career." Well, guess who got her wish?

The owner of the physical therapy clinic where I work recently manifested her dream of becoming a state representative in Missouri. This necessitated changes in clinic hours which made my 40 hour work week become a 20 hour work week.

I look at this with mixed emotions. Very happy to have more time to relax and do all those things I have wanted to do but did not have the time or energy to do. Very happy to have the time to focus on my life coaching career. With all this happiness there is a bit of fear creeping in at various times when I think of my financial obligations. There will be less guaranteed income. So now it is up to me and my belief system to say no to the fear thoughts and know that my good is at hand.

Am I happy that my wish was granted? Yes. If it hadn't, I would have only marketed myself as a life coach on a limited basis. Now, I have the time and the energy to do what needs to be done. I have more time to devote to the spiritual practices that I love and that keep me centered in Truth.

So to the fear that creeps in I say "BEGONE." As the saying goes, "Do what you love; the money will follow." And as I become financially prosperous, I am able to do so much more for those charities I love.

Look out Stray Rescue of St. Louis. Good is coming your way.

Look out Shannon Foundation. Good is coming your way.

Look out world. I am ready, willing and able to be a channel for good in whatever way the Divine feels compelled to guide me.

My intention for 2015 is to affirm the Good (God) Life that is here right now.

Namaste,

Mareda
