An Open Letter To. . .

The Creator

Sometimes I get scared. I wonder how it’s all going to work. How I’m going to finish my studies and somehow either land myself an awesome job at a healing center of some sorts or how I’m going to open my own office or healing center and where it’s going to be.

It’s a place I want to arrive at but I don’t know the steps that will take me from here to there. I only know I want to, have to, get there. Some days I’m convinced that my desire, my belief and my vision is enough. Other days there is a leak, doubt creeps in and fear is real quick to jump in and take command. Mutiny on the ship!!! I have to be diligent, catch it right away and steer the ship back on course.

There’s days when I hear a voice that says, “Get real woman, half your life is over. You should have started 20 years ago to manifest this vision.” Other days I stand up to the voice of doubt, chase it out the door and scream. “Just watch me!”

On those days where I can’t shut it up quick enough, I get discouraged and scared and think what am I doing this for? Why am I pushing myself? Am I dreaming in color like a little kid who is convinced that if he stays up long enough he’ll see Santa Claus?

Yet on days where I am deeply connected to my heart, it’s not the voice of doubt and fear I hear. It’s a voice of reassurance. It’s one of knowing that I am doing what I’m meant to do and a knowing I must trust everything will unfold as it should if only I can be patient enough to see it through.

So here’s my request. Can you help me stay grounded in the truth, to see the vision, the cause and maybe even believing in Santa Claus?

Writefully Yours
Annette

You are on the write path Annette. It is unfolding in front of you as you lay the footwork to your dream. Your hard work and stay-to-It-ness will see you through to the fulfillment of your dream. It will be a reality and there will be many people over the next half of your life who will be thankful that you did persevere.

Always remember your own words:

"It’s a voice of reassurance. It’s one of knowing that I am doing what I’m meant to do and a knowing I must trust everything will unfold as it should if only I can be patient enough to see it through."

love always,

I can relate...with everything coming to an end for me very soon I hope and dream that everything will unfold as I imagine in my mind. One can only wait and see, and yes, of course...trust. Just as I know deep down that I am doing exactly what I am meant to - I know that you are as well! As long as you continue, some how, some way, the Universe will ensure you are able to be helping others! Who knows, maybe we'll end up helping each other out with our practices down the road! And too old??? Hodge podge! You're always as young as what is in your heart!

I can understand doubt. It creeps in on me, too, sometimes and I chase it out the door with a broom, screaming like a banshee! I have a dream that is unfolding and you are one that I look at and say, "See? You can do it. Just trust and follow where the Universe is leading." Annette, you're a natural at counseling. And, because you are, your place in the world will present itself, when you're done and ready to step in. I have no doubt.
