I want to share with you something I am doing and then invite your support. I have started a program called the Purpose Discovery Program. In this course I will work to find and then start to embody my soul’s deepest purpose. I am ready to step beyond my current default purposes of safety, security, comfort, material success, etc., as they show up in my life in ways that hold me and my greatest gifts back. Though these things are still necessary and important to me, I want to live deeper, to “...suck out all the marrow of life,” as Thoreau put it, and more fully experience life from a place of my true purpose—the gift of service that I am born to offer this world.
For the next 12 months, I am gently pruning back on a number of things including screen time, junk food, and socializing. I am requesting two things from you, my deeply valued community. First, I’d appreciate you taking a moment to make a prayer for my success with this program. Your well wishes would feel good to me. Second, I ask for your understanding over the next months, as I will be curtailing much of my usual social time to create space for this spiritual journey. Lastly, if you are curious about what this purpose/Soul journey is all about, let me know and I can send you an essay.
It's funny because so much in my life has already been cut back due to my illnesses, but I think now is the time for me to really dive deep inwardly and see what my soul's purpose is. I will of course continue to try to improve my quality of life in the midst of this program. Thank you for your support in this journey.
