What’s possible to achieve in 5 years?
A couple of months ago, an FB memory popped up with my photo from five years ago. I couldn’t believe that this photo, taken at a family constellation workshop in Birmingham, was only five years old. It feels like a past life! Btw, I’m in a black dress with white and red roses.
The summer of 2019 was a time of big transitions for me.
In exactly a month from the date of this photo, I was due to move out of my family home, and hand over the keys to the new owners. I was moving to Ashburton in Devon, where my house purchase just fell through and I had to rent a house with my ex for six months. I didn’t have a job in Devon yet, so the plan was for me to have a 4-hour commute to teach law at the University of Birmingham, while sofa surfing and job hunting for another academic position at Exeter or Plymouth University. My son was struggling at school: his six-year old classmate died from brain tumour. As I was supporting him to recover from the shock, my own 33-year old cousin died from cancer on the same day I moved out of family home.
It felt as if my world was crumbling down.
Sometimes, that’s what it takes for the new life to emerge.
I had to let go of my old identity to step into my new life, where within a year, I met my soul mate, changed career, and bought a new home (plus had a wonderful summer on Dartmoor during the lockdown). In 2021, I published my first book ‘Hammer, Sickle & Broom’ and started running retreats. My second book ‘Fragile Freedom’ is out now and today I’m starting to teach Level 2 in-person Integrated Constellations Training.
It doesn’t mean that life has no challenges, but I’m no longer the insecure person on that photo.
All her impossible dreams are my reality today.
So keep going. You might be closer to your breakthrough than you know.
Show up. Do what it takes, especially the inner work. Keep faith.
Your miracles are waiting for you.
With love
