Ann Linnea in her book "Deep Water Passage" speaks to this in her experience of seeking herself as she sea kayaked around the whole of Lake Superior. It's a powerful story of one woman's journey to herself and I feel like many women can identify with her. I know that I did.
I had my version of deep water passage last year, especially in the summer months. At times feeling like I was drowning in deep water.
With loving support of family and friends and wise health care providers I came through that time, stronger, wiser and healthier than I have ever been.
I now know the next steps on my path. To walk it fully and joyfully I have released a career that I've had for over 19 years, therapeutic massage. I realized this past fall and winter that it was time to move on. To pass the reins to those now coming up in the profession.
I'm now following my passion, which I've reawakened after more than 35 years. That passion is words, story, keeping story, sharing story, understanding lineage and the role our families play in our stories and how we might learn from and understand what has been and choose what will be.
You might remember my first post where I shared about the Cantadora (scroll down). She is the keeper of the stories. This is my path. My passion is to keep stories, explore my own and help others to explore, tell, and keep their own.
This work, my passion, is linked hand in hand with my work as a Wellness Coach through The Wellness Inventory and HeartMath (R). These wonderful tools can be very helpful in discovering our stories and living well.
Through understanding our stories we can explore what is true for us and make new choices.
I'll be posting on a regular basis now, as I move deeper onto my path of keeping story. I'll share more each day. I'm looking forward to sharing with you and having you share too. Keeping the stories.
Besides the blog I'm working on my first book and I'll be posting bits and pieces of it here in the days and weeks to come.
Through the loving support of my husband, our wonderful kids, and my sister, the best sister anyone could ask for, I'm walking this path fully supported. My friends and fellow coaches as well as our community also inspire me and lend me loving support.
Come . . . let us share our stories
