You might remember if you are an OG subscriber to this blog that it was born at the same time when I felt the **** was knocked out of me as I sat in the Red Sea in 2009.
Let me update you, in case you are newer to this blog and youtube channel.
The water was still. I sat straight legged in the shore. Something 'waved' its way over me. Left confused, a little upset and with a big frown of the most questioning look ever was on my face.
As I climbed out of the water and spoke to my (then) husband, I tried explaining that suddenly I felt different. He asked me to explain; which was impossible.
Until this point, I was of the belief through my programming that the glass was always half empty. My language had reflected this and I had lived a life of dis-ease and sadness. Suddenly I realised life was supposed to be good. I felt home at this point. Yet this started a roller coaster of emotions and life changes.
Those around me became less patient with me as they saw remarkable changes taking place in my outlook and my personality. If you have been through this you will understand. Likely nodding along as you read, knowing that this 'stuff' changes everything.
Reading, watching, listening, I educated myself and the Youtube Channel and this blog were born. Never did I imagine this would become my path...
Many, many manifestations came to light and life was unrecognisable. Now, I sense nothing is ever impossible but frequently those limiting beliefs creep in and life feels tricky.
My most recent manifestation or rather, art of allowing, was when I began to live the dream of writing full time. Ok, being transparent there are, of course, other bits and pieces I do but primarily, I write. This is being facilitated greatly by the professors at university. The support I am fortune enough to enjoy is incredible. They have told me I have something here worth working on.
Mind Blown.
Often, I am getting these little signs from the universe right now. This is definitely the correct career path for me and my message is mostly to entertain but also to carry a message that ladies can believe in chivalry while being strong, independent and beautiful. Expecting perfection is everyones right but remembering that we are human and none of us is perfect. My protagonist is always left with hurt, doubt or less than an ideal situation...yet my message is that she is a heroine and she will be totally ok.
My path
Knowing the path is the right one is totally beautiful and life feels incredible right now.
More manifestations have come to me since beginning this course.
Those manifestations that come to fruition and make you shake your head in disbelief (even if, by now you should always trust the universe) and smile as wide as the cheshire cat.
This happened to me today. All about 50 shades of Grey. So...what happened is this.
We have an essay to write as a critical essay. In other words, what was written well, not so well and all other controversial topics around it. Being of the romance genre, I decided I wanted to ask the question to the academic if this research essay could possibly be around the topic of 50 shades of Grey!
* What made it so popular if it wasn't great literature?
* How was the film adapted in order to make the story more convincing?
* What arguments have been had around this publication?
Happy, happy me, I saw a reply to my email (of yesterday) from the tutor. He used exclamation marks a-plenty as he said, "I'm already excited to read this as the biggest publishing phenomenon since Harry Potter." The email went on. Full of valid points that mean little to me at the moment but no doubt will become clear as I begin to research.
Excusing myself from my mothers attentions at the lunch table (I was on a short fuse with her) as I replied to this exciting email that made me grin from ear to ear and as I clicked SEND, the music in the restaurant clicked on to the next track.
"Love me like you do." OMG seriously? This was the title track to 50 shades! You have seriously got to be kidding me?!!!
Thank you, for this validation. I am on the right track with my career path, I can feel it with all of my being. Never has my author journey felt so juicy.
Much love, as always
