What else is possible?

It is a time in my life where I seem to have come to those cross roads again. It seems to happen at least every 10 years where I get this unsettled feeling and I stop and look at my life and see where I am at. I did this when I turned 30 and made some big decisions then! I got divorced and decided to move to the UK permanently so nothing major - just some life changing options.


To be honest I really didn't think to hard about either. For some reason I get to a stage where I just know what needs doing. My marriage was ok, been having some communication problems so we went to counselling, which never worked as he was not honest and didn't communicate with the therapist either. He wanted a house wife and I was a successful solo-preneur who travelled alot doing events, trainings and weekends away to venues. He actually was a really nice guy but not the right match as we just wanted completely different things. We remained great friends.  Sadly though he had an affair which I only found out afterwards. What can I tell you?!!!


After my home had been broken into twice in a month I just decided the writing was on the wall and it was time to spread my wings and fly! Little did I realise what a challenge that would be as I arrived in the UK one week after 9/11. It was not a great time and the whole hospitality industry crashed in the UK for about 6 months. It was a steep learning curve however I was pleased to be in a completely new country, new culture and on my own.

So now 12 years later I am getting that feeling again! My life has been full on for the last 10 years in the UK - the most challenging of my life with some of the greatest times and some of the worst both personally and professionally. So here I am again looking at my life going "what else is possible?" There are a few things that I have decided I REALLY want for at least the next 10 years of my life but preferably the rest of my life:

  • More sunshine!
  • Travel to new countries and old ones to visit friends
  • To be close to my sister and niece (she's 8 and just beautiful)
  • Live in a healthy and calm environment
  • Be close with nature and particularly the sea
  • Change my work to being focused on people and animals
  • Learn more about alternative healing
  • Have a soulful loving relationship
so not much at all then.......................

I can still do all the things I want to and have already started now as most of it is internet based or Skype so I just get to chose my view from my window! 

I am excited about the rest of my life and feel really privileged to have had the incredible experiences I have had over the past 12 years but it is time for me to move on.....What have I learnt from the experiences I have had? I leave that for another time x
