You are on the right path
Tdlr: I am writing to you dear First name from my yurt home, in the Swedish countryside, where I lay naked (of course), my belly full from a day of wild picked berries and my spirit full from deep reflective conversations after the arrival of some very old photos…
You are on the right path.
No matter what you’re doing right now
No matter whether you feel lost,
Misaligned in your work or ‘purpose’
No matter how obscure your dreams may seem
How off beat your lifestyle compared to the common path
You are on the right path.
Right because, it is yours
It is your life
A life that no one else but you could possibly be living
Life doesn’t make mistakes
We are part of a tapestry of unpredictable stories and timelines,
Causes and affects
Ripples and waves in our own protagonists journey so uniquely ours that even Wes Anderson couldn’t scheme up the plot line of our unfurling existence.
Here's a thread in my story of becoming,
It starts with a fairytale…
At age 11 my Mothers, partners, sister in law (yes, that’s a mouthful) started a kids fairy party business and asked me to be her fairy assistant 🧚♀️
For ten years I assisted in potion brewing, wand making, face painting and made chocolate coins appear from an empty treasure chest ;)
At 18, with my new Daweo Lanos and licence in hand, I took over as head fairy.
This leadership embedded in me a confidence in my capacity, so that when it came to choosing what to study I believed I would make a great teacher.
My teaching degree and the years of understanding how children learn, meant that when I moved to a spiritual community in Sweden I was soon asked to work in their alternative school.
In this time I myself was experiencing a spiritual awakening so by day I taught Swedish children, and in the evenings I allowed myself to explore my forgotten ‘fairy art’ of facilitating workshops, not potion making but women’s circles, ‘Let’s talk about Sex’ workshops,
And even, nights of watching conscious porn together (yes numerous people have reminded me this Sweden trip that I used to do this!)
Teaching at the hippy school would allow me to realise that teaching children was no longer aligned with my soul and actually I wanted to teach adults about sexuality and self-love.
And I wanted to teach it in a way that was fun, colourful playful and magical - like the fairy parties I had run all those years before.
Last week I ran three workshops at Sexibility, an interntationally respected sexuality festival in Sweden.
As I stood on stages with my headset on teaching 100's of people what I love, in my own playful, educational and spiritual way - it felt like a culmination of all the my pasts that I didn't know were leading to this moment…
How could I have known at 11 when a family friend asked me to be a fairy, that it would be an intrinsic part in my journey of becoming?
I couldn’t.
Life has a way.
All roads lead to your uniquely shaped shell destiny in the ocean of possibility
You are on the right path.
I'm curious, what past life jobs and experiences have lead to who you are today?
Reply to this email, I read everyone!
Here’s to fairy Penelope, who saw the fairy leader in me at just 11 - I am grateful for you!
