Refocus

I am shifting again, this time, from heavy activity and rapid creation to stillness and reflection. This place I find myself today is a necessary one. It allows me to chart my next steps on my wonderful journey of life. The month of May was filled with exploration and personal growth as I traversed France by train. June was a time of creation as I scribbled out my thoughts for my book, Growing Bold. July was a time for shaping it into something easily digestible and coherent. And August is shaping up to be a time of stillness and rebirth, a time when I am recreating myself and new things are just emerging.

My grand dreams are still with me, but they have slid into the background of my consciousness, and the forceful craving to already have them realized is gone. I still want to move to Perpignan, France and I still want to publish Growing Bold. However, other goals are coming into focus as those recede. Although they are slipping to the background, they provide the foundation for what I’m embarking on now. The outward excitement of the initial phase of my vision, now firmly established in my consciousness as a definite future reality, has subsided and allows room for the excitement of different, complementary dreams and goals. Now I turn my attention to: the goal of being a successful speaker and workshop facilitator, the dream of dating highly suitable men who complement my nature, and the goal of creating a brand that speaks to who I truly am, while resonating with profitable organizations that pay for the value my services provide.

This letting go of my obsession with the things I’ve put into motion is unusual for me, as I have not yet realized them. I’m not giving up on them, but still there is a definite shift in my focus. It is unusual, but I’m being guided by spirit. I’m faithful in my belief that these goals will come to pass. I have breathed life into them and now they are emerging with less effort on my part. I am letting go of my attachment and allowing God to guide them along. This letting go, while foreign to me, actually feels right. There are other things for me to create and build, and easing up on those others gives them time to develop. And it gives me space to create, to grow, and to simply be.
