CONFIDENCE FOR SHARING OUR PASSIONS

Have you been waiting on pins and needles wanting to know what the second thing that I observed from the confident 20 year old male, teaching us older folks hip hop?

You may have guessed it from my first sentence....confidence! He didn't need a piece of paper, a certificate or degree to feel like he had something to share with the rest of us.

He simply was sharing his passion, what he loved to do and he was being supported financially because he was following his calling, the gift that he brought into the world to share with others.

It's the movement that I talk about in my work, from the 1st to the 2nd Half of Life. The first half, head knowledge and The Shift, to the 2nd half, intuition, what we know. (Read more about this in my two books available of evolvetolive.com)

Many from the older generations, including myself, have struggled, knowing that we too possess pieces of the puzzle of life, but feel like, well, have been told that, we need a piece of paper to prove it! It's absolute nonsense and this young man proved it.

Certainly there is a place for education, but that's not what I'm referring to here.

I watched this young man in awe of the poise that he carried about knowing that he had a gift to share and it's worth others supporting him in his passion!
What is your passion? What is the gift that you bring to share with the rest of us? Thank you for the courage to share it with us!

Aquatic Massage from the 1st and 2nd Half of LIfe Perspective

Energy moves 5-7 times faster in water. 

I recently took the class series to become a Certified Aquatic Massage Therapist. I love that it is about Embracing the Heart. I spent many hours in the pool which earned me the honor of emerging with green hair! REALLY GREEN HAIR! I spent the next period of time doing 40 practice sessions so that I could pass my certification test. 

I had been away for a month and hadn't been in the water for the entire time. When I came back it was time to test out. I had to use a new water facility and when I took the test I flunked! What? I knew I hadn't done my best performance and the excuses quickly came to mind. The bottom line, I wasn't fully prepared (which wouldn't have made a huge difference as there were other issues involved, but I would have flunked knowing that I had given it my best attempt.) I picked up my poor little (obviously not so little) bruised ego and quickly started back meeting other therapists and working with them. 

It was such a blessing to meet other people doing the work and hearing their similar stories. I'm grateful for the set back as I've learned a lot more, and had experiences that I wouldn't have had if I had passed. 

I've given many aquatic massages to date and some of the things that people have reported experiencing has left me in awe! (Spirit can use anything) I'm reminded of what I talk about in my work, 1st Half of Life: The Certification Paper vs  2nd Half of LIfe: The Experience.

Sometimes it's not about the paper!
