I try to take a mini walkabout at least once a month. :) Wonder where a longer one would take me.

It's really good to hear your story. Please let me know when you're next in town.

Hugs,

Maybe it is a bit of time adventuring, getting out of the space to be able to bring new perspective. Maybe it's time for a walkabout?

When I faced those intersections in my life, I asked for signs, OBVIOUS ones that I wouldn't miss that would lead me to the next step. When I knew I was done with the energy of San Diego, I kept asking where am I suppose to be? Loud an clear one day I heard TAHOE. Figuring if this is where I was being guided, I'd need a job. Then looking on the jobboards I found the job at UNR that fit me perfectly.

I may also be heading into another period of this what's next. Haven't gotten the answer precisely, but following what I can act on which is traveling to Australia for 3 weeks. Making it happen despite not saving up for it. Somehow knowing it is connected even if I don't know right now how it is. Just keep acting on the smallest thing that you can. It will lead you to doing what your heart fills good at doing. It is the time.

Anyhow, hang in there. Love to see you when I head over the hill to visit Heather's new place!

Questions that might help focus the joy issue is: What do I want to learn right now? What do I feel internally called to play with right now? Intrinsic motivation is where joy lives. What do you do because you want to? What excites you? And even if it doesn't immediately seem to lend itself to work, it's a clue.

Here's another question: who do you want to be next? Who do you want to grow into, and what could help you do that?

I am realizing for myself lately that I create projects to learn/explore a certain space. And the most important thing for me to remember is the art of completion (I'm very good at the art of starting), and to close out a project when I've learned/expored all that interested me there and I just feel "done". So congrats on completing gracefully!

And I'm glad you are giving yourself time to let this next thing arise organically. Yay! I'm excited to see what ends up coming next for you. =)

For me it helps to be solid in the faith that there of course is a perfect next thing, and I just need to follow the internal and universe clues until I find it. And be willing to go on whatever journey is between here and there.

I believe that ultimately, the Universe *wants* you to be doing your epic win thing. Because nothing makes you more competent and purposeful than truly being engaged and excited about what you are doing. The Universe has your back.

So for me it's a matter of trusting, letting go, listening, being open, and following the clues. Rather than trying to "figure it all out" – I want to follow the internal path of least resistance….ie where does my soul want to *slide* to? Or *run* to. Or *dive into*. Or what d I want to run around excitedly telling everyone about. That's always a good clue.

And, you may need some time to "detox" or "unwind" to be able to listen. That is completely part of the process.

Yay!
