I am sitting here trying to figure out where the time has gone. I would like to say the addition of the 2 new accommodation units are complete and that business is booming, but that didn’t happen…yet.

Are they on the property? Yes. However, stuff happens and life and choices change leading you down other avenues. What changed for me? …ME! I have spent the winter having a long dialogue with myself about my life. What do I want and need. What do my relationships look like? Who do I want to be in my life and why? What and who creates energy and joy in my life. All the people and things that do not contribute to my life, are no longer a part of it. I realized I have spent too long trying to make other people happy and that is not my job, it’s theirs!

I read this quote a year ago and it took a long time to get the full impact of it.

“Your mind can only define what you already know. It can’t go beyond the limitations of what it has already determined is so. Can your mind give you awareness? No. Awareness goes beyond the limitations of what your mind can define. A mind is designed to take in information, and categorize it for use, now or in the future. But it can only do that, dependent on its reference point to the past. It cannot create a future or a possibility.” ~Gary Douglas

I have taken a long look at where I have created my life from conclusions that I bought from others, that have never actually benefited me in anyway. I have found the places where I have made myself smaller than I am, to create comfort in their worlds. I have hidden the weird, wacky, wonderful, compassionate, creative and fun loving being that I can be. I concluded that is what was required to be all of the things, to all of the people that I decided were more than me. I examined all the parts of myself I cut off to be that and have since discovered that was not true for me and have since chosen to be me.

So, that being said, I am opening a small store/shop out of our barn. It will help to feed my never ending hunger to learn more and be more. I will have things created by other beings who are creating magical items, crafts and art of different forms. I will continue to teach soap and bath product classes, as well as adding other fun and creative classes. I sense that  I will be doing more energy work and classes. I will also continue to nourish myself through my gardens and learn to expand out instead of shrinking when I sense others discomfort in my world. I am grateful to have found myself. 

I invite you to come along with me on this fantastical, beautiful journey to creating more in and of life. I will leave you with this question,”When was the last time you have given yourself permission to just be…?”

Joy, Love & Awareness,

Wanda
