Since a child, I have always felt a connection to the Universe and the Earth; I had gifts I was born with my grandmother used to say. It was not till much later in Life did I fully come to understand the connection between me and the Universe. Actually, allow me to rephrase that, people in general and the Universe. I began my career in Sales, Marketing and Advertising, and then moved into PR. I worked in the Media, both in TV as well as Print. I did quite well in the Industry. I always enjoyed working with and talking to people.
However, there was always this "missing-part”, sort of speak. After many years of the fast paced Marketing Industry and World of PR, I guess you can say I burned out. Sure the monetary end was great!
The physical, emotional and spiritual end was dying a slow painful death within me.
I always felt drawn to helping people, many of my friends used to say I should have been a Shrink or a Psychologist because it always seemed people were drawn to telling me their problems and expecting me, it seemed, to give them an answer to them, or at least define and break them down so they could understand and perhaps accept or fix them. Of course I always used to be the one saying to my friends, why me!! -L-
See, I didn't understand it either, why was "I" the one they would come to, surely they had family? What about close friends? Maybe even a real live Shrink! Why me? -L-
Well, truth be told? I STILL don't have the answer to that one! -L- Yet, it STILL happens! I guess, I just have come to accept it, and in a way feel it is part of my destiny. After all we are all put here for a purpose, right?
Well, I have always been a gym nut, I guess some call it. I differ from most females not all, but I guess most. I enjoy working out with weights; I love the adrenalin rush of pumping iron. Most women come into a gym and are just interested in cardio or aerobics, they don't like muscle, don't want it -L- We're all different, so I understand it and respect what they want. It's just not for me. -L- So after meeting a gentleman that was opening a gym franchise locally, during a conversation, he said Angel? I said yes? He said, have you ever thought of getting certified to be a Trainer, you seem to know so much about health, holistic medicine, how the body works, and all of it, as he put it. Of course my answer was....No, I never thought about it, because I spent all my life in the marketing, ad and PR industry. I used the gym as relaxation & stress relief. Well, I guess you can say, that conversation hit a nerve within me and soon things changed, or at least I should say my career changed. I became certified as a Personal Trainer & Lifestyle Coach with a background in Sports Nutrition & Holistic Health.
Well, that’s explains that part....Remember in the beginning of my thesis here -L- I mentioned as a child my grandmother said I was born with gifts? Well...that’s where I felt drawn, if you will, to Reiki I went and learned all I could about the history of it, and the strange thing to me was, it was something I was always able to do since I was a child .So, with that I decided it was high time to get Certified. Boy that was an easy one, right? -L-
Now, what about my freelance writing? That kind of started as a fluke as they say, I was not looking to do it, yet it kind of dropped in my lap. While I was training clients out of one of the gyms I contracted through. The local Chamber of Commerce visited, they wanted to find out more about the new to the area gym franchise. While there, they thought it would be awesome for the gym to do a Health & Fitness article in their monthly paper that went out to all the members. Well the Owner who was a young fellow, with NO background in fitness, but enough family money to buy a franchise -L- Well, this guy was stuck holding his hand on as they say his bottom while talking to these people. Needless to say what happened? You guessed it...he agreed to do it, then as fast as they walked out, he came to me and shall we say, dropped it on my lap and said, helppppp, Angel ! -L- That started my freelance writing, which then moved on to writing articles for an info type site on-line and so on.
Don't worry there REALLY IS a light at the end of this thesis, errrr tunnel ? .....Hey Wake Up!! I'm "almost" finished....REALLY!! -L-
Okay fine! Go grab a cup of coffee, I'll wait!! So, now you’re awake, coffee in hand....ready? Of course you are!! -S-
The last chapter...Social Networking, with ALL this going on the infamous question is Angel, why??? -L-
Well, I have always been drawn to people; by now you know that, as well I have been drawn to Universal forces shall we say? I believe in people helping people. I also believe in when you help someone achieve their goals and desires, the Universe gifts you back tri-fold. The best part, or at least the best in my opinion is, when you are gifted back, it is not just in a monetary manner.
Whats wrong with money you’re probably saying about now, right? -L- (That one woke you up, didn't it ?-L-) Nothing! Nothing at all! However, there "is" no monetary value a person can put on what their heart, soul & spirit feels, nor a price tag that can be put on mental health or spiritual fulfillment. Those things you can not buy!
Now don't get me wrong here, I like money just like the next person, I like having my bills paid off, I like be able to buy the types of clothing I like and when I like, I like new cars, I like taking vacations. I would be fool, or more less a liar to say I did not. Since I base my life on honesty, because I feel it is the only way to be, I am certainly not going to lie here.
However, I feel blessed by the Universe every single time I can help another reach a goal, get healthy, feel better about themselves, or show them a way to increase income and get out of debt or simply have more time with their family by not having to work so much out side of the home. It is a feeling that rushes through me and warms my spirit and soul, and I have to tell you, it is as energizing to my mind, heart and spirit as a good workout in the gym is to my body & mind.
Is the Universe not Spectacular!! Yes, I know that’s the sub-title of another blog I posted. But, I titled it as such, because it is something I feel to be true! The Universe offers us ALL so much, it offers us the ability to reach out and grasp all we need, wish for and desire. It's there, you just need to believe and go for it.
I do, and I am. I hope you are too ! -S-
Well, there you have it...Angel~ defined to a degree, never totally mind you -L- But, then again, remember....Mama said I "was" indescribable, and I guess, in alot of ways I still am! -L-
If you made it through, and your NOT asleep, least yet!!
Brightest Blessings & Prosperity to You
Angel~
