A Dream Surfaces

Sitting in one of my favorite local coffee shops having a relaxed late morning reflecting on my upcoming trip. I brought some of my trip material with me to organize in my Thailand folder. I've had to re-evaluate my itinerary and expenses many times over. However it shapes up it is going to be an amazing experience that will benefit me on many levels!
When the trip planning started to take shape I was very excited and yet wonder how I was going to swing it (financially and time off work). It really did not matter how volatile my feelings were I knew deep inside that it will happen. Even though some financial challenges presented themselves, Thailand was still going to happen. I believe that my passion was being tested. I did know about 10 years ago that one day I was going to travel to Asia to study bodywork and at that time it was a seed planted in my subconscious. As I was reflecting on where I was in my Massage experience late last year it became clear that it was time for me to take my training to another level and that is when the dream surfaced. So here I was, where I've been other times in my life, expanding out of my comfort zone and do what I am internally driven to do or do I play it safe and continue to work hoping that one day I will feed the hunger and nourish my soul or to live in this moment and allow my life's experiences to flow through me.
I am grateful for my talents and the quality of my touch. Massage is part of my life's work and I see myself involved with it on one level or another well into my later years.
