Two months ago I found myself at a crossroads. After the kids outgrew having a nanny, I had to move on from a job I have had for the past 4 years, that I have loved every moment of (Luckily, I am still very close to them all and get to enjoy continuing to be a part of their family.). I was, of course, searching for a new family to nanny for, since I enjoy it so much the last time around. While I was job hunting, I came across the newsletter for a local metaphysical store with an advertisement in it stating that they were looking for a bilingual intuitive. As most of you know, I am bilingual, and I am also an intuitive. I had not done readings for people outside of friends and family, however I did get readings for people when I was doing energy work on them at different Reiki circles. I decided to go interview, just to see if I could do it. What can I say, I enjoy throwing myself out of my comfort zone.
I not only nailed my interview (which included readings in both languages, as well as healings), but I ended up receiving a job offer from them. I began to get in my own way since I was not used to getting paid on a commission basis. I was used to a guaranteed paycheck every week. At the same time an offer came in for a nanny job. The hours, the pay and the family all seemed great. Once I took the job, everything changed. The family was still great, but the hours were longer and the pay was less. The job ended up being at least 80% academic, and that is not my forte. If it was, I would not be trying to get through my associates degree at the age of 32.
These girls were stressed out and there was nothing I could do to help them, or make things any easier on them. I felt as though, I could not properly do my job. I was simply not the right fit for them. As I was wrestling with all of this I kept feeling a pull toward the job as a bilingual intuitive . So, I put in my notice, and decided to head over and have a talk with the manager. We had set everything up for me to begin working in two weeks so that my two weeks notice could play out. Right after I left I received a call from the family and they told me they would rather me not come back because it would be hard on the children. So, I agreed, called the manager back, and started at the metaphysical store that Thursday. There was still a little bit of anxiety there, but the message I kept getting in readings and meditation was to not worry, that the Universe was supporting me in this journey. So I decided to take that attitude with me into this new chapter.
I know that this is going to take me closer to where I am supposed to be. There is a lot of freedom and flexibility in the metaphysical world. The possibilities are endless. It's time for me to take flight into the next chapter of this incredible journey.
