May 2015 – Space between No Longer & Not Yet.

  I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather as much as I  am.  Most of us are so ready to move away from the long winter to embrace the beauty and fresh new start of spring.  Our lives are filled with endings and new beginnings & spring really accentuates this in New England.

I am personally in the process of closing another chapter in my life & beginning a new one. My youngest son graduated from college last week. It is bittersweet that my sons are living full time with wonderful jobs in MD and PA. I am so proud of their accomplishments, independent spirit and kind & loving hearts but grieve the ending of this major chapter as a full time mom, which has always been my most treasured job.

My son’s commencement speaker shared about the space in our lives when we are  are between “No longer” & “Not yet.”  There are so many times that we are in this space & in so many ways even at the same time. Right now we are all experiencing No Longer living in the cold and snowy winter but Not Yet in the steady warmth & sunshine of summer.  We experience this whenever one door is closing but we haven’t yet walked through the next door.  We’re in the hallway and some say that it can be hell in the hallway especially if we can’t see the next door.

We are no longer what we were but not yet what we will become. This space requires patience, compassion and lots of faith. The good news is that we are never alone in this space between our no longers and not yets. Our Creator leads the team of supportive Angels & Spirit world helpers to sit with us in this space of unknowing to offer guidance, love and healing.  We can learn so much if we allow ourselves to breathe and BE in this sometimes uncomfortable space. If we jump to the next thing without processing what just happened we lose a wonderful opportunity to grow and heal.  This time can serve as a guide to the next wonderful steps on our journey.

As I transition from no longer raising my children, I am so grateful to have the gift of the wonderful work I do with all of you.  It is so fulfilling to love you as you experience your No Longers and witness you create your Not Yet dreams.  I am honored & grateful to connect to the Spirit world with you, share your joy and sorrow & get to the other side which is healing and empowerment.  I am just as in awe of the power & gift of this vocation now as when I began 13 years ago.  It is nothing I ever set out to do.  It came to me after the death of my brother.  One door painfully closed and this one gently opened.

Many of you beautiful friends have been with me for many years.  My boys were 9 and 11 when I began this path.  It was so scary when I made the decision to No Longer be a Nurse Manager but had Not Yet proven to myself or husband that I could succeed as a Spiritual & Intuitive Counselor, Medium and Teacher. I am so glad that I walked through that door as it was one of the best decisions I could have made.  I often looked to that closed door when I felt fear and uncertainty questioning if I should go back to the Nurse Manager job.  I had to pray and rely on my faith in God and the Angels to take care of us.  And they always do.

I am confident that this new chapter will also bring blessings that I am not yet able to see.  As I feel the pain & sadness of what is no longer, I also feel the pride of what my husband & I have accomplished in the investment of our lives to these amazing men. What we & our sons are Not Yet will unfold in Divine timing.

I pray for gentle, loving transitions as you shift through your own personal No longers & Not Yets.  Whether it is relationship, job, home, health or grief you are processing, my prayer is that you will feel completely supported as you move forward through the changes of your life. Thank God we know that we are not alone which in itself brings so much hope and the opportunity for grace & and peace.  We are so blessed in all ways, Always.  Thank you for walking beside me and allowing me to do the same for you.
