Blowing the dust off and seeing if this still works

It has been a while since I've been here, a long while. Much has changed in my life. A move to the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota, a steady regular job, and getting stabilized. Joy and Purpose needed to get grounded. I needed to do a lot of deep inner work. During a lot of it I did not feel like sharing. I lacked the courage to be authentic with my struggle. I was still "trying." Trying to be well and upbeat when I was actually pretty desperate and shell-shocked. I was still recoiling in shame from pretty much anything that looked like criticism. Its hard to be truthful when you don't dare be yourself.

I am finally feeling like a solid, more or less. I have worked hard to get here. I am thinking it may be valuable to post my journey-as-book-list at some point. There was a lot of reading, a lot of audio books, a lot of online programs, a lot of using a modality called tapping. I am definitely not a poster child for the modality, my dis-ease was stubborn and seemed part of my fiber. However, persistence pays off.

It is getting close to the time to re-incorporate Joy and Purpose and pick up my passion again. I have always been a bit evangelical about wanting to help people and help set them free to really be who they were meant to be. I have studied method after method, and every last one is the "one that will work" and everybody needs to do it. Some things are now different, some are the same. I still passionately want to help people grow free and be there best most expansive selves. I still find new methods. I still want to share them with the world. I think now, though, I am able to let people find their own paths and have the lives they choose. I will be available for those who wish to shift and change in a way complementary to my training.

I am training in Margaret M. Lynch's professional coaching program. I will become certified as a Transformational Wealth Coach. Why this? I love her pragmatic, direct approach to a problem that causes a great amount of suffering, difficulty around money and finances. The more people who are assisted to get out of their own way so that they can thrive, the more amazing this world will be.

Enough, it is past my bedtime. Goodnight.
