It’s so
exciting when Spirit/God/Source/the Universe – substitute your term - confirms
and re-affirms what you are doing, right?!
I LOVE it when that happens! <3
Case in
point. Late last night I saw an online
ad under Meetup for a spiritual networking business group online (Copia HOBN) at
www.copiaspirit.com. I felt strongly drawn to it, not only because
I happened to attend a seminar last night on the topic of marketing a business (www.nextforyourbusiness.com) and
am currently doing so, or that it just conveniently happened to be in the same
building where I work, but more so because I knew, from the ad, that I could
speak freely and be understood, speaking in spiritual terms using words such as
“Spirit” or “intuition.”
Ripple Effect from Wikipedia
I was SO
excited to be there, to rub shoulders with people in the spiritual community
that my heart was so open and full of gratitude. I cried intermittently as I was emotionally
touched by the people who attended, their sharing, and some of the words which
strongly resonated for me, landing into my ears and in my heart confirming and
re-affirming my dream.
Recently,
I attended a teleseminar where this occurred as well. Ellen Hayakawa, a former wildlife biologist
turned speaker, author, and coach concerning spiritual gifts spoke on “Supporting Your Child to Greater Happiness
and Self-Confidence by Discovering their Spiritual Gifts.” (www.ellenhayakawa.com)
She also
confirmed and reaffirmed – there are those words again – my dream. It’s not a sleeping dream, but my life’s
purpose or mission.
There were
three key elements in particular which she spoke about concerning children and
youth that resonated strongly for me: (1) “a
safe and secure place to express” (YES!)
as my children’s choir is about expression and a safe place to do and feel that
(2) “they're teaching us" (YES!!) as my
original life purpose/mission statement started off as “To teach children and youth …” and realizing that the children
would most likely teach me! and (3) "co-creatively express with others" (YES!!!) as I had gotten the word ‘co-creative’
intuitively to use as a tile and/or to describe my children’s choir. Currently it is “Children’s Co-creative
Choir” or interchangeably “Co-creative Children’s Choir” though I expect a
possible name change with input from the kids.
After all, we’ll be co-creating!
Of course,
Ellen also mentioned many other aspects, points which were just as valid and
further solidify my dream:
"learning
difference or consciousness difference” (I love that!)
"heart’s
desire to empower…” (to my revised statement starts off, “I empower…”_
"the way
children learn turns the education system upside down"
"telepathic"
(love that too!)
"the children calling us to be truthful and honest" (great!)
"behind every behaviour is the true reason for the behaviour" (or words to that effect)
"children with ADHD are often bored" (I knew that claircognizantly years ago)
"children leave the room because they already know/have the info" (I knew that intuitively when I was a

"children leave the room because they already know/have the info" (I knew that intuitively when I was a
participant in one of Ellen’s workshops
and three young children (about ages 3 to 5) left the group to play.
I thought, "They don't need to know this. They
already know it!")
Interviewer: "Children come wearing their labels. I have ADHD." Ellen: “I don't care about the labels but I do care about who you are...”

"children
don't feel isolated and alone" (in feeling and/or knowing
someone understands them)
"no place to express" (that’s where I come in! ; ))
"study with young children 8-12 year olds" re. happiness (I'm aiming at the tweens, ages 9-12 at least initially because there's a lot for the younger children and the teens, not these ages)
"pharmaceutical drugs fall away..." (a big YES!)

How do you
know that what you are doing is right?
How does it come to you as confirmation?
Or another way of saying it, how is it confirmed for you?
