Well, it’s been a very busy couple of weeks for me.

I had this idea that I could work my way out of this stiffiling job I have by looking into expanding my Reiki practice to become affililiated with a local Spa.  My coach and I put together a great “Reiki Resume” that detailed my abilities and also listed my more mainstream business skills.  We joked about what I would do if they were really interested in me!

And they are.

Not simply for my Reiki abilities, oh no.  They are so impressed by my administrative skills that they have decided that it is time to create a position (part-time for now) for someone with those very skills – to do their bookkeeping, their advertising, their desktop publishing, their website design and maintenance, etc.

Have I mentioned that some of those things I haven’t done in over 15 years?  Some not at all?

After agonizing the decision all last weekend I decided that I would tell them it would just be too much for me to handle: a full time job, growing my own business, a full class schedule and their work too.

Then I was driving in to work Monday morning (running late, as usual) and I thought “What am I, nuts?  I’m all worked up over this job I hate and I’m ready to throw in the towel on a chance that I created!  That I said I wanted!“ 

So, I decided to write an emergency e-mail to my coach and figure out how to get over the panic of getting what I wanted.  I also got my two peer coaches involved in putting a workable plan together.

With the help of my “Dream Team” coaches I now have a quote for training the Spa staff in Reiki, a draft contract for working as an independent contractor on the administrative tasks, a draft presentation to educate their clients about Reiki, a draft press release to announce our new affilliation and most importantly, a true belief that I really can do this!

I’m so grateful to these three wonderful, talented and patient women for coaching me through this crisis of faith and knowing all along that I was ready to take this next step in my Adventure.

Namaste
