You might discover a few places where your heart calls you in a direction you have been resisting (that happens to me a lot) or where 'laziness' (my word, for my experience) is a cover for 'anxiety'. Or several other possibilities, of course.<br /><br />In my experience in a long and complicated life, 'sense of purpose' waxes and wanes. Not as frequently or predictably as the moon, but definitely it has done that for me.<br /><br />Many Blessings (hmm, the typo was "blessigns") for this part of your journey.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163426770309734512.post-17001955815131332012014-06-11T11:11:34.048-07:002014-06-11T11:11:34.048-07:00What a lovely testament to one who is stepping int...What a lovely testament to one who is stepping into their own truth, without the dogma or practice of something that no longer fits, like a too-tight, out of date skirt. I went through a similar transformation, finding those like me, in a tradition that allows for creativity and expression. Being free of doctrine has allowed me to find my own truth, and to follow it with like-minded women. Are we all exactly the same? No. But, I don't need to surround myself with people exactly the same as me. In fact, I find that quite boring. Embrace what you wish. Throw out the rest. Good for you!fearless_fallen_angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052576534937970205noreply@blogger.com
