Oh, the Wanderings We Wander…
This month’s newsletter comes to you from Australia! Why am I in Australia? Well… your guess is as good as mine! It all started with a calling to “go.”
A simple nudge from the universe that said, “Stop doing what you’ve been doing and turn everything on its head.” Well, there’s nothing like going Down Under to the opposite end of the earth to see things from the opposite perspective. And while we’re on the subject of Down Under, those of you who know a little mythology will recognize an Underworld Journey when they see one.
And so, once the Call came, (and after I had first refused the Call, of course… “I’m going where?” “For an undetermined amount of time?” “And the funds for this will come from where exactly?”), my Underworld Journey to Australia officially began, but let me say, the Threshold Guardians were on their game!From forgotten (and much needed) fleece jackets and a delayed (3 hours on the tarmac), plus two cancelled flights from New York, to fire alarms beeping in the middle of the night (only from 2am-4am, of course) in Los Angeles, to Qantas changing me unexpectedly to ‘standby’ and then changing my seat again as I walked from check-in to the gate, so the biometric scanner no longer recognized me, and confiscating my lovely Yeti coffee tumbler because in all the panic, I had left it half-full with water (incidentally, inside my bag, so my belongings were now all wet), I finally made it safe and sound to Melbourne.
And from there, it’s been an adventure. Because once you’re on the journey, and safely past those Guardians, it doesn’t mean the challenges are done with you! Because that’s when the Road of Trials begin! Woohoo!
But what I will say, is that I’ve been having an amazing time with amazing highs and challenging lows, as you would expect. For those of you who’ve worked with me, that goes into the category of surrendering to the flow of life, and understanding that all we experience is FOR us. For us to understand something deeper about ourselves, for us to see through the stories we’ve carried around within us for so long, and for us to break free of the concept and construct of having a “perfect life,” so that we can uncover what our life really could be. I won’t lie… it’s not easy, and takes constant inner work to keep in balance. The pictures may look amazing but behind them are also personal challenges that work through me the way they work through all of us.
More on my adventure in next month’s newsletter (including about my trip to the heart center, the Red Center of Australia, at Uluru.
So where does that lead us now? Well, it’s never too late, and never the wrong time, to crack open your story. To explore what’s possible and who you really are, and not just who others claim you to be.
If you are ready to explore that, then I have a few options for you… with a new personal coaching option for working with me… Click here to schedule a Discovery Call with Nicole
