It was 4 years ago today that I left a very comfortable life
in New York City to take another step in my life’s plan and wander into the
unknown of Southern California. I still remember that day as if it was yesterday.
I realized back then, that part of my life was complete and it was time to take
the next step. So I ventured out west to co-create the next chapter. It has
been quite a journey walking through many doors, investigating what came before
me, meeting some great people and creating the new. Believe me, it has had its
ups and downs, at times moving from the shadow to the light and back again.
Sometimes the new seemed like the old just in a different place. But all in all, these last four years have been
an amazing learning experience, seemingly to be another four years of
schooling. I've learned more about myself at the tender age go 56.
When I turned 40 I left a job, an old life that no longer
resonated for me to venture into the unknown and create a brand new life
following my passion of photography. That opened many new doorways that led me
to aspects of my life now that I never new existed. Not only have I created a
life as a photographer, I became an author and a spiritual messenger and
healer. Ever since then my life pretty
much has been about stepping into the unknown, taking a few risks, learning and
growing. All in the quest to live the
life I say I want.
Today March 1 2015 is a day of graduation into a new
expansive, abundant, loving life to take yet another step further into the
unknown to live my full potential in this lifetime. To fully live why I am here
and to give in service.
I guess the message here is follow your heart, follow your
soul’s calling. It took a few people and some wonderful relationships to wake
me up and I am so grateful for those folks who came along on my pathway to co-conspire
to show me the light. But ultimately when the door opened it was my choice to
walk through it or not. And I am so glad I did by simply saying Yes.
Reminiscing like this allows us to take a look at what we
have accomplished, what we have created, where we have grown and see what we
have learned. It brings us to “What Is” in our life. I may not be exactly where I want to be, or
fully living the life I say I want. Yet on a certain level I am. I know could
give more, I could be more available, I could open my heart even more, but what
I do know is that I followed my heart and my soul’s calling when that calling
came.
Many of us learn through experiencing what we don’t want to
create what we do want. I have followed that path. The key is to raise our
consciousness enough so when we realize we are living a life we don’t want,
that doesn’t resonate any longer, we can see it and know there is another
choice and be bold enough to make that choice because it is simply our soul
calling us to take the next step.
It will be scary, it will feel daunting at times and you
might want to go back, but if there is a knowingness deep in your hear that you
feel down to the very essence of your being, perhaps it is time to heed that
calling. That’s what I felt and I knew it was time to change and make new
choices. I made a new choice at 40 and
then again at 52 to change and listen to the calling of my soul to take the
next step. You can too. I wasn’t sure
what was on the other side of the doorway, it all has been revealed to me and
it hasn’t gone like I planned it or envisioned it. The path has taken many twists and turns but
as my friend, mentor, and healer the late great Robert Baker once said to me,
“Jeff, you are going to live your divine soul plan anyway, wouldn’t it be cool
if you were conscious to take part in it?
Folks, you are alive. Ask yourself: Am I living the life I
say I want?
Close your eyes, move within and listen. Then raise your
awareness to what you may hear. It just may be life changing.
