When You Realized That Your True Path Has Been Your True Path For Longer Than You Thought

“Lynn! Your Brain Is Fire!”

my life & intuitive coach, Tina Meyers exclaimed at the end of a recent coaching session.

We had been talking about how I was practicing being grounded in my higher purpose, and in the last five minutes of our conversation, my past collided with the present moment.

Here’s what I realized:
That whole brain on fire thing? 

Tina had never said that to any of her coaching clients before. This day, as we were riffing; designing my upcoming business offering (more about that another time), Tina’s encouragement sent me back to my early years of True Community Building, when I read the book by Geno Church and his co-authors called “Brains On Fire: Igniting Powerful, Sustainable, Word Of Mouth Movements”.
I started using social media channels back in the “olden days” in 2008, and this powerful book was published in 2010, as I was still forming my approach and philosophy around my purpose, which is what my career stems from.

Full-circle moment

As Tina and I were winding up our coaching session this day, I realized how deeply I am grounded in my purpose. I’ve been more immersed in my purpose the past six years than ever before. And in the culmination of the intuitive coaching sesh, I actually felt the impact (on my life) of what Tina noticed. 

I exist to grow connected communities, one conversation at a time, using a variety of tools, online and offline.

It was also one of those “woo woo” moments when that book, with so many of it’s timeless words and phrases, came rushing into my brain, already on fire with passion and purpose to jot down the words for this blog post.

I remember also, not too long ago, that I wrote this blog post with something I used to grapple with, and now dance with: I Am One Person.

So today, since I have deepened my commitment to being grounded in purpose, I declare that I will continue to use my voice to teach, train, and consult with others to use theirs, so that collectively, we can transform our world.

I invite you to comment here.
How do you express your voice and start conversations?
What have you discovered about your higher purpose in life?

As always, I’m as close as your keypad.
