When The Soul Calls

You have to listen.

For over four years, I knew I needed to get out. Out of the city I was living in and out of the environments that were draining my energy, my soul. It was back in the beginning of 2020 that I started thinking about moving and then the “pandemic” hit. So, throughout the last four years, I have been trying to figure out where to go and how to make the move.

This is not to say that I didn’t enjoy my time in Calgary. I met a lot of amazing people, experienced many wonderful things, and made lifelong friends. Part of me believes I was meant to experience COVID there for my own personal and spiritual growth. However, I also believe that within the last couple of years my time there was done, if not overdone. I could feel it. I was so unsettled in my energy and I couldn’t feel at peace anymore.

I kept considering Mexico or Europe, even Australia, yet I couldn’t bear to ship my horse or leave her behind at this time. I had thought about Victoria a few times over the last few years, but they were obviously not the right times and most definitely would’ve been with the wrong people. But…

Now, I am here.

I feel a release. I feel aligned. I feel liberated. I feel at peace.

Not only was the ocean and nature calling me back to the west coast, I knew my soul was being called here for another purpose. Not everybody understands the calling of a soul, but I have experienced these callings most of my life, including when I moved to Calgary.

I tested myself though, by travelling, researching other places in the world, and writing pros and cons lists. Yet, the messages and synchronicities calling me to Victoria became too loud and clear to ignore. I ended up visiting the island at the end of June to confirm these signs and fell in love. I came back home, and that same day, I gave notice where I was living. That was it. I was moving and nothing and no one was going to stop me.

Whatever is good for your soul…do that.

Signs & Synchronicity

For over three years I have wanted to build my holistic practice. However, in my old town, I felt an energetic block. Like I was wanting, wanting, wanting, but it wasn’t right. I’d motivate myself enough to get things done: get a few clients here and there, share my knowledge online, and build up a bit of momentum. But again, it just didn’t feel right and then the flow would stop and I’d feel stuck again.

When things are meant to be, they are smooth and easy; without resistance. And boy have I felt that ever since I made the decision to move to Vancouver Island.

Everything fell into place so swiftly. I found a lovely suite to live in (without references or a paying job) and a peaceful place for my horse. I was able to sell all the furniture I needed to move only what I wanted to take with me. The horse transport happened the same weekend I wanted to leave and for once in my life, I wasn’t worried about not having a job lined up. This all happened within four weeks of making the decision to move!

I had been working as a fine dining server to support my “building a business” in Calgary…which never happened. One day while serving a lovely table of three from California, we got into a great conversation and I mentioned I was moving to Victoria. The young lady at the table told me her friend had moved there not long ago and gave me her contact information so that I could make some friends. It was so thoughtful and kind of her!

Another guest, a gentleman at the same restaurant, told me he grew up in Oak Bay and to let him know if I need anything because of how many people he knows in the area. Wow! The opportunities just kept coming.

Only a few days later, a coworker introduced me to a lady that owned a metaphysical store in Victoria and who was renting out a healing studio to holistic practitioners. I couldn’t believe it. For three years, I had been trying to build my holistic practice in Calgary and before I even get to the island my practice is set to start! Divine, is all I could think.

It was affirmation after affirmation after affirmation that I made the right decision.

So, coming to the island I had the same thought about working as a server while actually building my business. It just so happened that the first day I applied to a few restaurants I got a job. It didn’t work out at this one place (I just quit yesterday), but I did end up applying to a few other restaurants and got a position instantly!

And to top it all off, a friend of mine who I have been bugging for a year to do a podcast with me finally agreed! We have quite a few people who are excited to be guest speakers and our first episode did really well.

I know everything that has been happening for the past two months is the life I have been manifesting, and it started with me taking a leap into who I wanted to be and the life I wanted to live. To have so many opportunities and so many things line up so easily, I know I made the best decision listening to my soul’s calling and that the Universe is supporting my decision.

Making the choice to move set into motion my higher timeline. I could’ve stayed in Calgary and made it work, I’m sure. But would that have been my highest timeline? I don’t think so. I don’t believe I would be as happy as I am now. With everything that is going on in the world, energetically speaking, we are being given choices to jump timelines. To create better lives for ourselves with the choices that we make.

We are in a pivotal time in history; splitting into two worlds. If you are confused about what I’m saying, you can read my post on the “in-between” here. We can either choose to be in our lower timeline of repeating patterns or living a somewhat content life or we can choose our higher timeline and jump into a world of possibilities and bliss.

What timeline will you choose? I recommend listening to your soul and choosing what lights you up. You won’t regret taking the chance.
