Continue until your Last Breath

“Find the work you love and you’ll never work again.”  Twice now, I’ve been blessed by having jobs that never felt like jobs.  For so many, and seemingly more so lately, it’s rare to experience it just once.  To have that twice in my life has been as wonderful as it was devastating for both to vanish with no warning.  Both times left vicious, gaping, deep voids that I struggled to mend.

I’ve said most all my life that I was born with a broken heart and I have the scar to prove it.  Well, healing those voids left their scars behind too.  I had to eat the words I so often said to students, “Leave some room in your plans because you never know when Life happens.”

Life wounds.  Life heals. Repeat.  Repeat again.  Continue until your last breath.

Creativity and Art have long been loved for their healing and refreshing gifts.  It’s not enough to just heal, relax, and rest.  In order to move forward, refreshing, energizing, and building must also happen.

Ironically enough, when the first “not-a-job” of youth services was eliminated, it led me to the second “not-a-job” of counseling.  It’s Counseling’s elimination that led me to this latest adventure of my life, MunLight Studio.

My usual approach to counseling is summed up in something I often said.  "We all come to our today with all of our yesterdays.  Unless you have a working time machine, we can't change "back then."  What do you want now?  How can I help you with that?"

Under MunLight Studio, I joyously create and help others create physical things, jewelry, books, stamps, beads, and things yet to be discovered by us.

MunLight Transformations lets me continue helping people build the life they want... Or deal with change... Or add more...  Or remove... Or change.

I have no idea what this adventure holds but that’s the excitement of setting sail for the horizon. Life is going where we haven’t been yet.  What do you hope for your adventure?  What do you want deeply enough to create it?
