Marcia's Dream Note

I am in the midst of a change. ...a big one. I can feel it and know one thing for sure. I need to unplug for awhile and this is the time to do it. It's like there is something unknown knocking at my door and if I don't take the time to answer the call it will either go away (unlikely) or doing something drastic to get my attention (I've been down this road before).

To honor my heart, I have set up my life to only be in my office 1 day a week for the next month. Part of me can't believe that I would take a sabbatical in the midst of all the exciting things that are happening, but now that I have committed, I feel both excited and at peace.

The big DREAM question I am opening to is, "Who am I now?" I feel a deepening of my work and message and the need for greater flow, fun and fulfillment. That's about all I do know, but stay tuned for more.

Share Your Gifts,

I'm On a Passion Quest

 

You can create a Passion Quest to find your purpose, create new dreams and gain greater clarity. You don't even have to put your whole life on hold. You can take a day, weekend, week or year...the purpose is to find, discover or reconnect to what you love...and then to follow it. Let life lead you to and through the unknown where amazing gifts and insights often await.

Connecting with yourself on a deeper level will help you achieve your dreams so in order to do this; you might choose to go on a Passion Quest. For a period of time, explore using passion as the barometer for deciding what you will and won’t do (when choice is an option). Whether work-related or during personal time, notice what excites you versus what drains you. Re-ignite your passion by simply doing more of what you love.

It’s an amazing thing when we take a little precious time for our Soul. It can inform us of what it actually needs.  I was somewhat surprised that my Passion Quest started out with visits to doctors, the dentist, body worker and the likes of that. It seemed that there was over due maintenance and tuning up required.

I rewarded myself with a visit to the Claremont Spa in Berkeley, CA where I had a massage and a mud wrap (trust me, it sounds odd but was heavenly)...and swam and sunned. I also took a journal and some markers with me to do a little Soul work. My Soul informed me that this Passion Quest would have three parts:

1. Prep - getting my proverbial house/body/heart in order
2. Inner work - meditating, asking reflective questions, listening for answers, writing
3. Outer work - time to follow myself, explore and experiment.

I am opening to what I truly love and what has great meaning to me at this time of my life. It’s a bit scary to ask these kinds of questions, since the answers hold unknown potential and often require that we grow or change in ways we can’t imagine.

How do you Passion Quest or take time to connect with your deeper truth and wisdom? What are you passionate about? What one thing do you love doing that might be your non-negotiable for this week?

Taking quality time for our heart and soul is an act of generosity. If you think it’s selfish, consider this. Connected to your passion and dreams, you will have more love, joy and energy to share with the people you love and care most about. You’ll also have extra resource for your dreams and projects. You can even use a Passion Quest to create some new dreams!

Dear Marcia

Dream Quote

”Passion is the access to finding your purpose in life.” ~ Marcia Wieder

 Dear Marcia,

I am tired, too tired to even think about what I am a passionate about. I feel stuck, moody and like I am heading in a downward spiral. Can you help?

T.

Dear T,

Trust me, I’ve been there. At different times we have lots of energy or none. Sometimes all there is to do is rest. But to really rest, what would it take for you to unplug from work and maybe even life? Even for just an afternoon, evening, or weekend?

When we’re too pooped, we can’t pop. You deserve a break and need it to re-energize. Just remember, at different times in life we may have more or less resource. When we are ending or transition, it may not be the ideal time to initiate something new.

In order to find ourselves, we often need to take time. In order to fill up, we need to empty and in order to dream, we sometimes need to nap.

Consider joining me (from your home) on my Passion Quest. Read more about it in this issue. At the end, let’s compare notes.

Warmly,
Marcia
