Finding A Purpose in Life

Dear Soul Sisters,

I am feeling the call to some creative business venture, but don't know exactly what it can be. I ask the Universe for a way to support my 62-year-old self, doing something I am HAPPY doing that I can handle, probably home-based, and can create a great income to use wisely and lovingly. To be good to myself and others. Any Insights? Intuitive hits? Clarity?


It needs to manifest SOON, lol lol lol.


"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." —Steve Jobs

Dear Feeling Called,

Thanks for writing! As many people on our planet are being Divinely Reassigned, it’s a perfect time to step into your deepest purpose and claim your highest good!

We love that you’ve set your intention on being HAPPY first in your new endeavor. With that in mind, we'd encourage you to make a list of all the things that make you HAPPY, all the things that you truly enJOY doing. Include jobs that you have had in the past that you really loved, tasks you enjoy or enjoyed doing. Do you love talking to people all day long or would you rather be alone to get your work done? Are you great at detail work or more of a big picture thinker?

Get it all down on paper and then, after giving it and yourself some time to breathe, come back to your list and see what jobs pop out at you from this list. What jobs seem to be a natural fit given your talents and passions? We noticed from your website that you are already involved in what appear to be many creative ventures. Does one of these fit the bill or are you ready to move in a completely different direction?

To dig a bit deeper, we’d direct you to your heart. Often we have many ideas in our head about how we can make money but it’s our heart that holds the truth of our purpose. Spend time alone in quiet meditation. To enable more openness of your heart, picture the face of someone you love unconditionally like a pet or a small child. Feel the love well up and space open across your chest.

From this place of openness, ask your heart to show you your purpose. Ask, very specifically, “What am I here to be?” Wait and see what answer appears. Very often we are given a big answer and then are tasked with walking the path and listening as we move through life. With your focus on YOUR big picture, you can head in the right direction. Trust that once you have your way, the Universe will take care of directing the HOW!!!

Another fun way to get some clarity, is by taking Laura Hillock’s quiz on “What Kind of Creative Spirit Are you?” Click HERE to access it. Laura’s got some great tips and techniques at Soul Art Studio and is full of creative energy and ideas!

Once you have some ideas, we would suggest that you start looking around – at your local classifieds, on Craigslist – and see if anything pops for you. Karen Bishop, a channel of the Earth's energy, reported in one of her energy alerts from before 11/11/11 that one of the paradigms of the “new Earth” would be a shift from full time jobs to two or more varied part-time jobs. This has always had a ring of truth for us and we share it with you now as a suggestion for moving forward.

Look around and see what part-time employment might be immediately available to meet your need for income. This could still be something that you can do from home – perhaps on the phone? - or perhaps something out in your community. We get the feeling that you are a joyful person who gets energized by sharing and connecting with others. While home-based business can be GREAT, it might also serve you to be out in your community making connections. Is there a senior center or cancer program where you could share your expertise? We see you leading groups and cheering people on in some way. Your life path has prepared you to show others a way through some hard lessons and by giving back, you will find happiness.

We have a feeling that once you step up and out in this way, the path to profit will become clear. Many times we are an expert at something yet we need to claim that first before the world will recognize it. Having a "real" job may also have the added benefit of giving you a “break” from your many creative endeavors, a way to give structure and focus to your days as well as a steady and reliable source of income. Remember, follow your JOY & the money will come!

Once that is in place, pick one of your creative passions – either a current one or a new one that came up as a result of your visioning work – and really go for it. Devote yourself to it. Make a commitment to do one thing a day that advances your vision for this business and then do it. If you can do two or more things per day, great! But commit to at least one and follow through. Talk to friends and family members, share your vision with them and get their support. Give yourself six months to a year of constant effort and attention to get this business off the ground and launched into the world.

As you move forward, we would suggest taking time daily to meditate and ground yourself in order to stay in constant contact with your guidance and your Higher Self. This will, we believe, assist you along the path to your new life. If you need resources to get started with a meditation practice, click here for some great tips from Donna Thomson, author of The Vibrant Life: Simple Meditations to Use Your Energy Effectively. 

We see something big for you on the horizon, but it is not here yet. Be patient and give it time. Like making kombucha tea, this process will take time, patience and loving attention, but will bear fruit that is nourishing and delicious to taste!

We wish you much peace, oneness, love and light as you move forward,

Jennifer & Lara
