A Symbol of Support and Adventure: My 4-Wheeled Companion's Anniversary

Fyt Phyllis...Love and support at first sight!

Perhaps silly, but who cares. I believe thoughts and feelings are sensed to give us messages, otherwise, we wouldn't be sensing them, right? The fact remains, whether you feel like you made it up or not, the experience exists or existed, so now it's just a matter of what you do with it.  Dismiss it or gain insight from it. 

My spiritual awareness and cause to live my purpose stepped into high gear back in Dec 2011. During the first part of 2012, I began to move my life forward towards my vision through the support of several key individuals and my own efforts and perseverance of bringing forth my vision through creative processes and mindful application to root my ideas into earthbound reality and formation.  Along the way, in April of last year, my 4-wheeled companion, a Mazda3, showed up and has since been carting me around assisting me along the journey of my own soulistic adventure and the further development of my business, Soulistic Adventures.

So here's the story:  

I had just picked up my new car the day before I was scheduled to represent myself as Soulistic Adventures at a booth at a holistic health fair. On my way to celebrate after the fair, a friend of mine asked what I named the car. I laughed as I've never done that before, but jokingly replied she's Fyt Phyllis (you will know why fit is misspelled as you read on). Oddly, when I got the car, the license plate did indeed have the letters "FYT" on it. My life has been all about fitness, so right off the bat, I knew this was "to be". Coincidence? Let's move on....

A couple days later, I asked myself... why did I choose "Phyllis" and I kept mumbling the name over and over and then it dawned on me while brushing my teeth one morning.  OMG! I thought out loud.  It's Dad! It's my Dad who moved on to the heavens over 6 years ago - his name was Philip....and this is his way of showing me that he is here to support me on my journey of purpose. You see, my Dad was a very quiet man, however, he supported me the way he could and often it was simply shown by driving me around to all my gymnastic classes and competitions and then later, to the mall where I worked at a clothing store while in high school before I had my driver's license. He may not have known what to say or do, but I knew he meant well and I was always glad and thankful he was there.

Real or not, the symbolism touches my heart and chuckles my soul every time I get in the car and "get moving" to create, explore, show up and connect as I pursue to live my dream, follow my purpose, and to build upon my passion to bring what I can offer to you through Soulistic Adventures. You see, I gave up my car back in 1996 when I moved to New York City from Los Angeles after a painful divorce and so getting a car again was huge and a turning point for me as I began this next chapter of my life.  No more pain, I vowed.  Only moving into the direction of my dreams.

Fyt Phyllis is a symbol of freedom, exploration and support all rolled up in one and deserves a big shout out!  Happy Anniversary Fyt Phyllis and thank you for supporting my life's soulistic adventure!  We've only just begun!

Popping Out Of The Bubble

I just became stunned moments ago when I came upon some news on a website related to the work I do with the Nia Technique and found out that a fellow Nia instructor just passed away suddenly.  I just spoke with this person on April 4.  We were going to plan a visit together in person. The news I read about her sudden passing was published on April 17 and I just read it today - April 23. Wow! I just can't believe it.

When matters like this happen, it can easily pop me out of the bubble of my current state of awareness, separating myself into a state of  "whoa...just what the heck AM I doing?".

Does whatever I was worrying about really seem necessary now? Nope, not really. What about all the work I've poured into my life goals; can I be lifted up and away at any time from earthbound toils, missions and aspirations no matter how heartfelt and commissioned with the best of intentions? Probably. Does whatever I was obsessing over in my thoughts and feelings now carry such importance? No. Is my motivation all for nothing? Hopefully not. Am I prioritizing right? Not always.

Popping out of the bubble is good. It makes you take a moment to check in with yourself. To re-assess and align your values with your actions no matter what outside messages and influences are bombarding you. It assists with creating movement towards awareness that can lead you down a path of further growth, self-discovery, spiritual awareness and other forms of well-being.

Yes, popping out of the bubble may be triggered by a variety of circumstances - some good, some not so good - but trust there is a gift to gain despite the perceived mess.

What Will You Do When You Grow Up?

Then (me as a child)

Now (me as adult)

Remember being asked that question at different points in your life? For some of us this same question still comes up as adults perhaps from sarcastic individuals who don't believe in your aspirations or even from our own selves as we make light of being in a place at this time in our lives where we pose this same question; all with a slight chuckle but with a twinge of angst.

In all seriousness, think about it. Somewhere deep inside you may be asking yourself this question because you now find yourself wondering "What have I done with my life?", "Why am I not happy?", or  "I really wish I became (blank) rather than (blank)", "Why did I follow pain instead of joy to appease someone else?", "What is this day to day existence about anyways?"

Maybe, just maybe......if you went back to that time in your life when you had no concept of worrying about anything else except BEING a child, expressing yourself through activities you naturally gravitated towards because you loved it, you were good at it and it made you happy that that would be your answer as to what you will do when you grow up.

Not a typical career path when you get "older"? Says who?.... "out there?".. so create it! Make it happen!  If more people would do what they love, it would support and nurture the greater good of humanity towards a more balanced state of health, well-being and prosperity for ALL. You were born with a natural gift and talent specifically to be shared with others.  You were not a mistake - you have a purpose.  We are not robots last I checked. We have feelings, emotions and a soul driven with purpose. 

So, don't make life harder. Be a part of change by following your childlike spirit of authenticity by going back to that place of uninhibited expression and take complete ownership of YOU - now that is growing up!

Morning Thoughts on Living With Purpose

During my meditation this morning, thoughts about living on purpose came up - especially in regards to why living this way can often be a challenge, when in essence if we would do this, life would be so much more grand, peaceful and fulfilling.

This was off the cuff, so listen in for any little insights. I am on my own path to transition into living this way on a daily basis. The more consciously we move together in our individual efforts to walk our own paths, the higher we lift each other up and our world at large.

Soulistic Adventures is a creation from following my path. If I can help you in any way to uncover or embark on a new path of your own, that's what I'm here for.  Maybe we start with the body- your self-image, improving physical movement or nourishing it with proper nutrition or more rest. Maybe we start with the mind and emotions - clearing the clutter so that you can see WHO YOU ARE.  Maybe it's the soul - tapping into your inner source of strength and the heavenly realms that support and guide you. 

You are perfectly designed as you are. You have everything you need right now.  All you need to do is REMEMBER.

Begin your Soulistic Adventure today and "be moved" into your path of Living with Purpose. Start today by requesting a 1-hour complimentary BE MOVED DISCOVERY SESSION by emailing me at Linda@SoulisticAdventures.com.  I look forward to hearing from you.
