As many of you know, I was recently asked to be the business manager for a local mind/body/spirit wellness center based out of downtown Portland. This job has been a challenge that to date is par to none. Each day I have to manage invoicing, practitioner training, set up systems of communication, and so forth. And then, on the side, I am still a spiritual counselor.
I am finding that I have to develop systems to keep my life from moving into stress. I have to take breaks, stop and head outside, make sure I eat lunches and take time to look out the window to watch the weather pass instead of only looking at my computer all day. After being a spiritual director for so long, I forgot what it was like to work in an office all day.
I admit, I like it. It is much more structured, I get to organize chaos and I can see what I accomplished at the end of the day. I am also having to figure out my own complexities around my home. How much should I be away? Is it okay to leave it there with Anthony or as the woman of the house should that be my domain? How do I balance eating at home after working all day? These things are obviously things that I had figured out at one point, but for almost 8 years I have had the option to do it different.
My inner passion and connection with Source emerges through holy experience with the sacred presence in everything and an intentional and methodical process of moving into submission to the Universal rhythm through prayer, chant and sacred ritual. All praise goes to the one Source.
