Believe it or not, it’s been around 20 years since I decided I didn’t want to do accounting anymore. Shortly after that, I quit my job and started to follow my dream of teaching and doing readings. It didn’t go so well at first and so after a few years, I (temporarily) gave up. This left me lost as to what my life purpose was. I started getting readings from other intuitives, asking them “what is my life purpose?” Some of them would tell me I was supposed to be a teacher. Others would say I knew in my heart what my life purpose was and I should just follow that.
The truth is, they were right. However, I couldn’t see that. I had subconsciously eliminated the possibility that I could become a Hay House author, speaker, teacher, and reader because I didn’t think it was possible.
I quite literally hid my own life purpose from myself. And so naturally, I was at a complete loss as to what to do. I even enrolled in real estate school!
When people ask me what their life purpose is, I always turn that question back to them because of my experience. I ask them “If you could do anything and be sure that you wouldn’t fail, what would you do?” It is amazing to me the number of people who can’t answer that question because they too, have hidden their life purpose from themselves because they don’t believe it’s possible.
If you are struggling with what your life purpose is, then I encourage you to ask yourself that same question. Trust me, you know the answer. It’s within you.
If you had a 100% guarantee from the Divine that you could do whatever you desired and not fail…what would you choose?
And when you have that answer, trust yourself and the Divine enough to at least give it a try. Or two tries. Try again if you’ve tried before.
Life is magic. But sometimes it takes more than one attempt for the magic to happen.

The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson
Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...
Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight
I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act. Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...
The Stuff That’s Hidden
I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...
The Unsuspecting Expert
I’ve been doing a lot of “nest feathering” in my little French cottage here in Colorado. That’s been a whole other kind of fascinating for me as I have been drawn to colors and textures and artsy things that frankly astonish me. My inner “introspection addict” is...
Life is Sooo Good
I talk to myself. I do it all the time. I’ve been working from home since 2001, so I had chalked it up to spending a lot of time in quiet spaces. But, I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more than that. That maybe… just maybe… sometimes me talking to myself is...
