Doorways

I've been wrestling with a difficult career decision this week. Which road to take? One seemed to offer security and comfort, but I was over-qualified. The other seemed to offer risk and liability, but it was right in line with my original plan. I couldn't decide. So I asked for advice from my closest human advisors. Go with the flow, I was told by one. My mother, the medium, was getting all kinds of stuff, but nothing that led to a decision. So with my emotions running high, and time running out, I agonized.

And then, I decided to pray for clarity. Just that. To pray to have the clouds lifted so that I could clearly see what I was looking at. I have a prayer bowl that I write messages in. I lit my candle and incense and just sent up a simple request: "I really want to make the right move now. Help me to choose." I was hoping my guardian angels and spirit guides would come to my aid.

When I awoke this morning, I felt a sense of purpose. The clouds had lifted. I saw myself banging on a closed door that wasn't opening. The other door was standing ajar, inviting me to enter. Today, I walked through it. It's the riskier road to take, but I've been learning how to take risks. And who knows what lies behind this welcoming door? And haven't I been prepared to trust God with my life completely?

Ainslie MacLeod's book, The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended, may help you identify your soul type and mission. Appropriately, the cover has a red doorway on it, the color of prosperity. I have not read this book, so I can not recommend it, but I did see the interview last night with Ainslie on Oprah's site. I found him to be a very gentle soul.

And isn't Oprah wonderful? I think she's very brave.

Happy dreams.
