Flowering

I'm a member of the Chamber of Commerce in Danville, CA. I've been a member of the chamber for 2 years - not to promote what I do now, but for my past/previous business as a FoundValue eBay Trading Assistant.

With the chamber, I also joined a business networking group. The idea for joining a networking group is to give referrals for each other and maybe drum up some business. Within the group, there's a lawyer, realtor, designer, organizer, finance, marketing, doctor, banker, insurance, and so many other positions to name and then, there's me......

As a Spiritual Medium, Reiki Master, Tarot, and (soon-to-be) Hypnotherapist - I wasn't sure if I would get funny looks... They, of course, didn't do that. I think the people in the group are wonderful professionals - and I think that's why I stayed with the group. For some of them, they probably don't even know what Medium or Reiki is. I finally "came out" today at the morning meeting and explained my change of business and how I accepted my life calling...

WOW - What a relief that was! Although, I noticed something about my experience today.

My voice was cracking the whole time I was introducing myself. I was really nervous. My heart was pulsating so hard, I had forgotten to breathe. That 30-second introduction felt like it was 30 minutes!!

But Why??

For those who know me, they can't believe me when I tell them how shy I am. They have a hard time seeing me in that dimmed light. For some, they think that I'm warm, personable, always smiling, and very easy to talk to. They see me talk to groups of people with confidence. They see me give hugs and welcome others who are shy and quiet. I want to be like that all the time. I want to be how my friends see me all the time, anywhere and whatever the situation that I'm in.

I'm not embarrassed of who I am or what I do. I know that I can help people. I know that there are many people out there that may need me and others like me. I am doing my part to educate, enlighten, and inspire others... So, why have these feelings?

In two weeks, I am doing a 15-20 minute business highlight for the networking group. I have the intent to be clear, easy to understand, and with confidence. Maybe, the group can learn something that they're not so used to hearing or have lack of knowledge in this subject. I'm guided by my spirit guide. I know that all will be okay. Just Trust and Let Go...

For my blog readers: please send me good thoughts and energy as I work on finding ways to not be so shy. Send me an email if you have suggestions!
