Anika’s Pick of the Week 

I was just doing a colour sheet and it said something that made me stop and think.  “Choose the bloom that makes you blossom.  And I must admit it struck a bell in me.. as I could feel the “fizz” of a post on the horizon.  It’s quite a strange feeling but I am used to it after all these years…….put it this way, I THINK I am and suddenly something shows me I really DON’T know where the fizz and pop come from.

But this isn’t only about me, you are included too.  And it’s not JUST our job, but what we feel to be the very heartbeat of our souls.  I remember a man being really excited to go and work for Ford motor cars and on the factory floor…..I didn’t understand it myself, because I couldn’t think of anything worse!  But he was full of anticipation for starting and I was happy about that for him.

I have tried different jobs but none of them satisfied my soul and I ended up anxious and depressed, not really knowing which way to turn.  But I wrote.  Oh boy!  Did I not WRITE?!  There was a man who was happy that I sent his Mum some letters before she died.  Every week I would find something funny to tell her or just say things in a funny way to help her know she wasn’t alone.  

And you know what?  When you blossom, you become more than yourself – the life we are called to.  BUT, please, don’t see what others do and imagine you can do it too!  You need to be focused on what YOU are and what makes YOU happy.  Someone down the road can do other things, and that’s ok.

We aren’t ourselves when we try to be what others INTEND for us to be, but to come ALIVE and BLOSSOM with the thing that’s closest to our heart.

TREASURE

My treasure for this is that I HAVE identified what makes me happy to do.  My husband has found what makes his heart happy, and my som is on a journey to find it.
