For the past more than 10 years, a lot of my life force energy and mental activity was devoted to thinking about how I could stay in France and live the life I wanted. And I was willing to make sacrifices especially in terms of career to do it. Now, as my greater sense of purpose and also self-worth is getting clearer, not to mention deeper forms of love in my life, it just feels like one part of me among many, and a story that may well be over for a while. I felt very much adrift with that, and I do have a clear sense of where I want to go from here geographically as well that feels right- Greater Middle East. And that the educational credentials should probably come from the US. Allowing myself to start over from scratch feels right, and yet I’ll always be the Frenchy ish girl that I am. It is really important to me, and in very real ways, even if I’ve deprioritized getting the nationality, it is my home. It feels like this shift has brought so much power back into me, into my body- I had done some akashic record (records of other lives) cord cutting (removing the energetic attachment to someone or something) around my attachment to France, which was feeling anxious and unhealthy, and revealed soul stories linked to here that have been influencing me a lot.
I feel like I’ve become Princess M in Paris, rather than Paris in Princess M. It’s a big shift.
While I definitely feel still want to make money from my work and have a certain lifestyle, both in terms of flexibility and economic abundance, I feel more and more that I can be mission centric, and still want those things, and it feels much easier to start from X internal center and make choices within that deeper sense of purpose to get the lifestyle rather than making the lifestyle the purpose. Now, for sure when it cam eto living in Paris, I was willing to let a lot of things go because that was my purpose although clearly not all of it, but I didn’t think I could have everything, and maybe I couldn’t have- but I didn’t give myself the right to try , thinking I needed to resign everything else but to live in Paris and I couldnt’ allow myself to want more than that. For a long time I think that was helpful in a way but it also closed me off- I had made Paris into an idol blocking me from seeing my own light and stepping into my power. I think this was clear to those around me but not to me. And the idea of leaving Paris after all I had sacrificed and put into being ehre just didn’t feel good. I think that’s the biggest release.
And beyond that, while I really do want to have a biological child one day, I am truly surrendered to following my unique path and I don’t feel any desire to force that. I do believe it will happen when it’s meant to happen with the perosn it’s meant to happen with– or not. And the space that has come with that inner revelation is truly inspiring. It definitely takes a lot of pressure off the next few years of my life, and I think that it doesnt make me any less likely to have things happen for me the way I want. Probably more so since I feel so joyful and expansive. I just keep coming more and more into my power, rather than trying to force life to look the way I want it to, and that’s freeing and empowering. It’s not about not moving in a direction, but rather using and giving into the flow, merging with the flow, being the flow, and perhaps also directing the flow which can only come from a place of surrender, as confusing as that may sound. Because you can control your own flow only once you stop trying to control and resist other things. So where I am flowing? Can I flow towards baby, home, husband? I flow towards love and allow that to reveal itself to me. It’s a much broader target and I can’t miss because I’m already there.
