It was during April of 2016 I was working at a company that once again, was not what I was supposed to be doing. I would periodically get in trouble for being too much, too demanding, too take charge and was butting heads with the CEO. I was at home, folding clothes and having a conversation with spirit. I was asking to be able to live my purpose, to be a full-time healer but I didn’t know how that could work because I am a single woman and it would be my only income. I heard spirit say, live your purpose and I will take care of you financially.
Now, if there is anything you have learned in reading this journey of mine is that I had built up a lot of faith and trust in what I couldn’t see but intuitively knew.
Within two weeks of the conversation with spirit, a friend reached out and offered a room to rent within her practice. It took me a week or so to process this as the excitement and fear of actually living my dream was overwhelming. She moved to her larger office in July and I moved into my very first office space! It was surreal. I was planning on seeing clients in the evening and continuing my full-time job until I could get enough clients built up to go full-time.
During that conversation in April with spirit the question was raised of when I wanted to go full-time and I picked September. I remember just throwing that month out for the heck of it, not really thinking this whole thing was going to come true. Silly me! Watch what you wish for!
The beginning of August came and I tried to slow everything down, I didn’t think I was ready to go full-time. I asked spirit can we set a new date? The message was that the “train had already left the station” and everything was in place for me to go full-time. I couldn’t see it in my limited human view but in the non-physical there had been all kinds of planning going on. I had to trust and have faith.
One thing leads to another and I end up giving my three week notice at the current job, and the last day of employment there was August 30th! I’d had a blow up with the CEO and the whole time it was going on I could feel the Arch Angels and spirit surrounding me, supporting me, letting me know everything was going to be okay. I talked with my brother and sister-in-law and obtained a loan from them to cover my bills for four months.
September 1st, 2016, I began full-time as an energy healer! It was time to step up and out. To say I was scared is an understatement but I was also motivated and fired up to move forward. I immersed myself in getting my business up and running, professional pictures taken, a logo, a new website, and seeing clients. I was doing a lot of self-care during this time, meditation, connecting with spirit, truly feeling supported.
My practice grew so quickly that by February 2017 I needed to move to a new location, which of course fell into place. I moved to the building I am currently at and moved into an office that I shared with a massage therapist that was located in Body Work Co-Op. From March to October I continued to grow my practice, from attending local entrepreneur events, advertising on Facebook, creating a weekly newsletter, and consistent posting on Facebook along with word of mouth.
January 2017, I started Second Saturday Connection. I was guided by spirit to offer a safe gathering space for individuals interested in spirituality and all that comes with it. This monthly gathering made a huge impact on those attending and on me. I led this two hour gathering with meditation, intentions, talking about awakening, ascension and encouraged each person to speak and share their journey. I also started incorporating drumming for healing. Occasionally there would be speakers that spoke about tarot or stones and crystals. Sometimes five people would attend and I believe the maximum was fifteen. It was a magical time. People from all walks of life, male and female, and many that had been seeking connection attended. Second Saturday ran its course by the beginning of 2020 and so thus dissolved. I believe this gathering helped create the ripple that even though we may think we are alone in our thinking, we are surrounded with many that do “get us”.
In 2018 a spin-off of Second Saturday was Coffee at 8 every Saturday. There was a desire to gather more than once a month. This was a non-lead weekly gathering that provided people to gather for coffee and conversation and come and go as their schedule allowed. Sometimes the conversations would go into the afternoon. This also provided opportunity for like-minded people to get together, create friendships and expand connections. This also ran it’s course and organically dissolved due to lack of interest in fall 2019.
Look for next week’s newsletter as I share the finale with you on how I got to this place of being an energy healer.
