A review book I'm reading this week is "Discovering Your Soul's Purpose - Finding Your Path in Life, Work, and Personal Mission the Edgar Cayce Way" by Mark Thurston, PhD. You can read the review this coming Sunday at www.newspiritjournal.com - it is not my intention to review the book here.
I wanted to share some of the thoughts it brought up for me. Two different Vedic astrologers have told me that I will really begin my life's work this fall when my odometer rolls over to 70! If this is applied to my working life, I was and am left speechless since I have already had at least ten significant and different career paths! Some have kindly told me I have a checker-board past and I do. So, I have to ask: there's another career to unfold?
What I am enjoying about this book is the way the author has the reader make lists and not only of our positive traits and talents. He also has us list our weaknesses and faults because he says within those are sometimes our greatest talents!
Besides wanting to be a nun from a young age and accomplishing that by the age of 15, I was also a musician from the age of four and this was the first way I navigated earning money when I left the convent. No, I wasn't the singing nun! I was the piano-playing ex-nun. I find myself wondering if music will be involved in this new addition to my purpose?
Maybe it will have something to do with learning to play my autoharp better or learn to play my Native American flute? Or maybe it will have something to do with animals? Or???
I know I won't stop writing or publishing or mentoring or teaching - and maybe what the astrologers are referring to has nothing to do with my work life? I'm staying tuned since this is quite an exciting journey! I'll let you know more as I learn more!
