The past several weeks have been full of moments where I have been better at observing patterns, coincidences and opportunities leading me to be more aware of many learning points. Ideas are coming together on how I may bring this coaching passion to my current place of work, whether for a long term situation or just as an opportunity to practice the skills I need for moving on to my next phase.

For instance when an opportunity came up that I a felt lead to participate in, even though it didn’t feel like a fit mentally, I followed that intuition, opened myself up to step into a workshop offered me and then the message was reinforced with another situation. After which the pieces fell into place as to the why behind my experiencing these steps.

Being open to opportunities, even if it doesn’t make sense in the beginning, can bring gifts we don’t expect until after the fact. I have always had a faithful trust in my intuition and would act on nudges that sent me to do comfortable tasks. However, expanding my awareness is helping me step into a new level of trusting my intuition, being more open to trying new and different things, often outside my comfort zone.

My curiosity has grown and I am more open to learning. My practicing being in the present moment is also bringing a new sense of calm and confidence that others are commenting on too.

I have always felt more connected in nature. Connected to my God, creator, source. Simply being in nature fills my cup, makes me feel complete. More alive, more clear. The difficulty maintaining that connection has been in prioritizing my need for it, as well as, making time to spend in nature when I have had so many worldly expectations of being a mom, wife, daughter, employee, volunteer, friend, etc.

Today on my journey, nature is playing a larger role as I am working to become one with creation around me. I am seeing the importance of putting my needs first to be the best me I was created to be. Learning what and who’s expectations matter. Seeing what being my best balanced wholehearted self really looks like. How and where we are all one.

Along with understanding my need for this connection to nature I am ready to be a student of it. Ready to learn the lessons nature can teach. As I continue on my journey I am learning to let go of the worldly expectations and embrace earthly endeavors. I believe all the answers have been provided, we just have to learn where to look and listen for what is right before and within us.
