Yesterday I flew to Chicago to deliver a leadership workshop for my Vision Quest Consulting (VQC) business. Today I find myself mixing my day with VQC business and Magic Party business. This afternoon we have our first Magic Faculty conference call where 6 faculty (individual healers and teachers who have or will work with our community by presenting a piece of work that furthers the hearts and soul work of our members) I will discuss what's happening at Magic Parties and create together what's next regarding faculty participation.
What's interesting is that my head is full with growing my consulting business as I am very much engaged in developing new VQC clients, delivering to current clients and even looking to expand further and bring on a second lieutenant, (do you know someone who might be interested?) to help me grow the VQC business and run a piece of it. And at the same time, my heart is full with the work required to grow and expand Magic Parties. What I notice today is that my head and heart are engaged fully with my two work venues. And I am grateful to have all of me show up at my work and that I do not have to leave a part of me on hold while I go to work everyday. In David Whyte's book, "Crossing the Unknown Sea; Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity", he talks about leaving our soul at the door everyday we go to work. I have not wanted a work life that feels like I am leaving my soul at the door. And am glad I am finding a way to speak to my head and my heart through and with my work. "The day may be full, we may be incredibly busy, but we have forgotten who is busy and why we are busy. We lose the conversation, we lose our calling....we have to realize that our lives are at stake, the one unique life, entirely our own, it is possible for each of us to live."
Are your days too busy that you also feel like you have lost your calling? And if so, if David Whyte is right and your life is at stake, what will you do about it?
