Getting Uncomfortable

This is my first blog post. (Gulp!)

I am 53 years old and coming to terms with the fact that I have more life behind me than ahead of me. And I’m finding this first post very difficult. What do I say? How does this blog thing work anyway?

I am unsure, unsteady, and downright uncomfortable.

You know that nagging voice inside that only gets louder when you ignore it? Well in 2020, the barely audible whisper grew into a booming cry, imploring me to listen. I had spent 22 years raising my kids. Sharing in the precious moments and watching them grow up has been the greatest joy of my life. I barely remembered what it was like to work outside the home, and I was anxious about starting something new. I held on fiercely to the familiarity of motherhood. Yet I couldn’t deny it – I was squirming inside.

I was getting uncomfortable with being comfortable.

As the events of 2020 played out, fate brought my college kids home and I was again mothering all four of them under one roof. I kept up with my excuses about not having the time to start this business, because after all, my kids were home! And they needed their Mom to help them through this thing called “lockdown.” And I got real comfortable hiding out in the house and playing Mommy for as long as I could.

Then as I lie in bed one morning, ruminating over the world spinning out of control, I heard the word, Soulcology; As if someone whispered it in my ear,

S-O-U-L-C-O-L-O-G-Y

The only way I can explain this is to say that word came to me; and with it, the idea that NOW is the time to share my gifts to help others.

And it would not go away!

In the midst of the Pandemic upheaval, an idea to create positive change in the lives of others (the seeds of which had been planted 25 years ago!!!) began to grow.

My desire has always been to design a new version of therapy; one that is spiritual and soul based, at its core; a version of therapy that I wish was available to me and my family when we were struggling.

There is no roadmap for this vision; no set of rules or clinical trials to follow. Soulcology has been created from a two decades long journey that set the stage for the development of my keen insight and intuition. Now I’m ready to share this with you.

Diving into this, I admit right now, I am uncomfortable; unsure where all this will lead. But I am excited! I am eager to see where Soulcology will take me – and YOU!

It’s easy to stay where we are, curled up on that nice, cozy couch under that nice, cozy blanket. The voice won’t let me stay there anymore. The voice keeps insisting, “Write that first blog post!” And so, here I am.

Is there a voice in your head that’s asking you to face something and to get totally uncomfortable? If so, what is that voice asking you to do now?
