This is such a beautiful share, Becky. The big decisions, the growth, the trust and inner knowing you show throughout your life, how your inner compass has been guiding you all along, and how much you’ve trusted in yourself!
You are such an inspiration. May you see it that way times a gazillion.
I love hearing how we couch our stories. The way you came to be a family of 3 is also the story of the way you came to be a beautiful family of 3.
Often we look back on our lives as if there was some better way. But the way and the lesson and the gift is always ever only here now.
The primary relationship is always with ourselves. So going in to get quiet and listen is of paramount importance. And you are doing just that. That’s no small feat and I want you to honor yourself for this!
In my own story, that I don’t think I wrote, the recurrence of me needing a ride and not having a ride and feeling stuck is a theme. It makes me laugh.
I did not like asking for help and I did not like needing help. Yet I secretly longed for help, without fully appreciating or even truly seeing the help and support that was always and has always been there and here.
On the one hand, I was so petulant that I didn’t ask for a ride (and maybe even went off on a huff), on the other, I expected the ride that I was unwilling and unable to ask for.
Sometimes asking for what we need aloud to the universe is just the thing. Even if that is to ask, please show me what is the next best step—for my highest benefit and the benefit of all beings.
Wowza, did this share get me thinking, reflecting, and noticing. 95-98. This was a Definitely a time For me to reflect on family And career. I was blessed to find my Dharma within my teaching career and creating an amazing Dance Program at Valley High. I remember a few years before 95 we contemplated having a second child but there's no way I could have kept this job because of the commute so I did seek out other options up here in the foothills but I realized they were definitely not a fit and that I was meant to be where I was at least for the meantime so hard decision was to settle on our cherished only son. Then in'96 the word came out that they were going to open a new High School in the same district but one with a 7-12 program and a huge Performing Arts Center. I loved Valley High School I cherished my dancers but it was a huge opportunity to contemplate. I was so conflicted, I had not entered into my spiritual phase of life so I was just flailing on how to make a decision. So I enrolled in this program called The Forum and it was an offshoot of EST. Boy did that blow my mind but it did help me figure out me and that I was meant to move on to bigger things so in 97 I left Valley high school and opened Sheldon High School. The first year I thought it was the biggest mistake of my life but evolved into being exactly where I was meant to be. So a lot of life-changing decisions were made and I learned a lot about myself. Thank you for taking me back there dear Heather.
Saturn is in my third house of my birth chart and Libra is in my 7th which is quite stacked right now I have been feeling intense energy headaches and tears during all my meditations. Not sure how to navigate all of this but learning to trust surrender and go with the flow of life. My spiritual practice has been a lifesaver and the people that I have met through this journey such a huge blessing.
Saturn in my third house has been so hard but also the lessons so amazingly valuable and now I'm realizing the blessings within all of that and understanding why my teachers have been hard on me and pushed me. Saturn was what I needed to become the best version of myself.
A bit perplexed on how to deal with all of this energy in my seventh house since I have been dealing with relationship quandrums for quite a few years now but I will go in get quiet and again trust💜✨️💜🧚♀️🦋🧚♀️.
