This week, one of my jobs ended. I have mixed feelings. Even though I know it will ultimately be for something better, I still feel kinda off about it. The outpouring of support from my friends is very heart-warming. They, too, believe that there is something better coming up for me. There is also that sense of freedom and possibilities.
During this time, there is that “empty” space filled with time. There is time for grieving, resting, dreaming and catching up with housework. That is the first challenge after feelings and processing, what to do with that formerly structured time. I discovered that when I finally just stop, I am very tired. Keeping up that pace looks insane. It looks like the universe saw that sooner than I did and arranged for this redirection. Now I have the time and space to put more energy to growing my business.
When we are offered an opportunity to take a detour, believe that it is for a higher purpose. Even though the timing looks inconvenient (there was one bill I wanted to pay off before leaving), I am surprised that I am not that wigged out about the money. That is a huge shift for me. It is because I have been staying more in faith, being open, showing up and now I can step into my gifts. Having that as a platform can ease the transition enough to be able to see further ahead to what’s next.
When detours present themselves, consider them as a gift. It means there is an opportunity to gather more information, see more possibilities, opportunities and options that will ultimately assist in making clearer decisions for those next steps. Consider asking for clarity and the peaceful path.
