Dear Kathy*
I want to share something with which I think you will find both pleasing and interesting.
I have, as I think I have told you, been going through a prolonged healing about self worth, the main and very deep rooted issue of my life. This healing has brought pain, sadness and fear to the surface and has at times been very uncomfortable. Early on in the healing it became clear to me that I need to be focused on what it is I am offering clients as well as in my forthcoming book: not some nebulous concept of helping people but something that people can relate to and may therefore "buy".
It is nearly two weeks since I became aware of the need for that focus but I soon realised I cannot force it and had to trust that it will come when I am ready and that is what I have at times somewhat grudgingly done.
Then I had a shower moment this morning that was triggered by your gratitude to me and I began to think how to express what I do and then the words came to me: "I empower people to make the right choices for themselves, not by creating a dependence on me but by opening people's eyes to a different take on life, empowering them to make the right choices for themselves", or something less contrived to that effect! I forget the exact words but this conveys the essence. What made me stand up and pay attention was the use of "make the right choices", as that is part of the title of my book: "The Right Answer...How to make the right choices for YOU time after time". For me I am often guided to a title that then becomes an anchor even before I have woken up to the content. Isn't that amazing?!
What I saw was that we are indeed a gift for each other, you and I, and that is why we have come into each other’s lives at this challenging time for both of us. By giving to you unconditionally as part of our lovely new friendship, as you give back by your generous compliments and feedback, I got to see the difference I can make to people by these lovely exchanges and that this is truly of value. This also tells me that my healing is nearly over, maybe over completely. How wonderful is that? I am to enjoy the privilege of touching people's lives by sharing my experiences and empowering others to make the right choices.
They do say that you excel at that which you would do for nothing - imagine your life with you doing the same, not literally the same, but something you do from your heart from love, something that makes your heart sing and makes you feel glad to be alive. The roots may already be in place and yet they may not. It will however mean that when it arises you will be independent, not needing anyone or anything. This is freedom my dear. This is what you are on a path to, as am I, and I want you to see the perfection in nature, in God, in bringing you to me and me to you at this time. No abuse of one by the other, just balance. For each of us it is different, yet we have taught each other, such is the beauty of the universal father (as I have lately taken to calling it, though it is equally the universal mother, being totally balanced in male and female energy, of course!).
When times are hard, to remember this wonder, this love, can help us through the darkest times. "Yay, though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil"! With this behind us we can be bold and realise things beyond our wildest dreams! If you have a long lost childhood dream, maybe now is the time to resurrect it and to hell with the doubts and fears and reasons why it cannot happen, for they are all false.
Through our exchanges and your reaction I see there is true value in what I can impart. I will be charging substantial sums for this in time and I see it is worth every penny! So, thank you Kathy. You are a gift and a lovely person whom I am very happy to have "met". Bless you darling. May you get all you deserve in life.
I now have the basis for refocusing my pages on my blog about service options and then for planning the book which will now shift as a result of this realisation.
Love
Maitland
