Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.
~~ Author Unknown ~~
Well, now I’ve gone and done it . . . taken a HUGE risk. Yes, I take risks all the time, some of them larger than others, but this one is REALLY huge. I submitted my resignation from my “day job” and will be leaving at the end of October. And, no, I’m NOT going to another “job.”
The obvious risk is that I’m leaving a regular, full-time (MORE than full-time) job with a regular, twice-a-month paycheck, and I have very little savings. And that’s pretty big. But the really HUGE risk is multiply faceted:
I’m risking following my joy, my passion, and my contract for this lifetime to do the work I believe I’m meant and intended to do . . . intuitive readings, mediumship, animal communication and angel readings.
I’m risking following another joy and passion of mine to start a second business, the idea and name for which were spiritually “downloaded” a number of years ago, but I was too fearful or otherwise focused and occupied to do at the time . . . designing and creating/making custom-made, one-of-a-kind quilted vests, jackets, tabards, ponchos and other over clothing for women of all sizes (I’ve already got my website name reserved with the name that was given to me during the “download”: Over-the-Tops.com).
In my “spare” time, I’ve begun a distance learning course of study that will lead to a Bachelor’s degree in Holistic Theology, with a concentration in Alternate Spiritual Traditions.
Yes, those are all HUGE to me. But the HUGEST risk is that I’m going to love myself enough to do what I know is right for me to be doing at this point in my life. I’m going to respect myself enough to leave a “good job” that feels toxic to me for a variety of reasons to go to work for bosses who will respect, honor and value me: Spirit/The Universe/God and ME! I am going to do all those things I encourage other people in my life and line of work to do: listen to and follow my intuition, follow my dreams, trust and rely on Spirit/The Universe/God, and allow into my life what is already there for me from The Universe (as Abraham/Esther Hicks calls it, my “vibrational escrow”).
What I know today, and hope to remember and know tomorrow, is that I am supported and taken care of and valued and absolutely adored by Spirit/The Universe/God, and all I have to do is MY part of what has to be done . . . MY footwork, MY readings, MY sewing, MY studying, etc. It is NOT up to me to do what is the job of Spirit/The Universe/God to do like bringing the clients and customers to me, but I absolutely welcome those clients and customers now and always.
Oh, look, here they come! I see them ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Dawna, this is great! I know that your courage will be rewarded. (Then again, is it really courage when you’re just doing what your spirit is telling you to do and it always has your highest good in mind?) I’m sending you lots of love and positive energy.
Yippee!!!
