The End of an Era

Yesterday marked my last day at the crystal store.

I’m not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a job so much or laughed harder during my ‘work days.’ Could this have been possible? To feel this much joy at a job? Surely not..

My boss was amazing, my coworkers all beautiful, I had built many incredible client relationships over the course of 14 months.

So why did I leave?

I still remember my trembling hands as I gave my first card reading during the job interview. When they told me I had the position I was floored. I’d already been reading through my online business but I’d never read on behalf of an established company.

It was offical now.

There were still parts of me that wondered if I really had a gift. Was this all just in my head? Had I lost my mind to think I could do this? I don’t look like a reader. I don’t fit the mould. Would I have to dress differently now? What if they saw me as an imposter?

But I pushed through the fear and the layers of negative self talk and I showed up. I wore my own clothes. I stifled my nerves and it wasn’t long before I found my groove. I knew I had found my calling that first day, because like anything in life, if you come from a place of heart and integrity it will shine through above all else.

So why did I leave do you ask? When so many elements of my job were still so abundantly joyfully satisfying? Well just like any leap of faith in life the answer to that is still unknown.

I do however know that it is time for me to go, to make space for my next adventure. My body was speaking to me through physical ailments, the signs were getting louder and it was ultimately the cards that signed my fate and told me it was time.

A part of me didn’t want to listen but the bigger part of me knew I had to. Not all fresh starts have to be epic tower moments where your life comes crashing down around you and you have to rebuild from the ground up.

Sometimes you just know, and you go.

So what’s your heart calling you to do? Have you been getting a niggling feeling to make a change as we inch closer to 2020? Because if there’s something you’ve wanted to do and have been putting it off, now’s the time.

Because in my experience if something is meant to be the universe has it’s way of making it happen (rain, hail or shine) and if we ignore the pull sometimes we’re pushed over the edge before we’re ready. So my advice is to jump first.

Jump and the universe will catch you.

And finally, I just want to say a huge thank you to Graham and the whole team at Crystal Journey for the most incredible 14 months of my life. I love you all immeasurably and am grateful beyond belief that our souls have all crossed paths.

Until next time,

Lucinda
