Yesterday my FB memories were flooded with the day that changed the course of my life forever. The screenshot below was from six years ago, I remember it so vividly. I hadn’t slept at all the night before. A women was missing in my small town and it’s all I could think about. I would walk into my very new job as secretary at a church and tell my boss that I was changing clothes and going to where my intuition could see and feel she was. That decision would shift my life in ways I could have never understood in that moment. You can read the details of that day here, https://laurahillkirk.com/2019/10/04/425/

Today as I reflect on that dreary cloudy day, I’m recalling the fear of being seen. The fear of being wrong. The fear of how people would judge me. The thing is all of those feelings of fear were exactly what had kept me from diving back into my intuition. I had stuffed as much of that down as I could. The universe knew that for me to ever share these parts of me they would need to throw me into something out of my control. God, the angels, my guides, they all knew what they were doing. Unbeknownst to me, I was entering into the first day of a journey that would lead me to where I am today. Where I stand now is a place I could never have imagined.

That day, and the months to follow would be a fast paced, and wild ride forcing me to face who I am. It would be the catalyst pushing me to keep showing up and loving the parts of myself that I hid for so long. God would no longer sit idle while I wasted a gift he’d so generously given me.

Something really beautiful happened that day. A women was returned to her family, and while they all thanked me, I was thankful for her. On this day all those years ago, I stood there vulnerable and the most authentic version of who I am, who I’ve always been. I spoke words out loud somedays I still can’t believe I was brave enough to speak. For the first time ever, I breathed in the air of my small town, and was my whole self.

It has been an absolute wild ride. One filled with bumps in the road, and the most incredible gifts. Six years later I’ve managed to help more people find their missing loved ones. I’ve been able to reunite pets with their owners, and bring peace to families who needed to find loved ones to lay to rest. That very overwhelming day is the reason I have a shop to sit in, and amazing clients who keep showing up. I’m so grateful for every single bit of it.

In times I struggle to surrender to the timing and path of life, I think about this day. I’m reminded that so little of life is in my control at all. What’s the saying…If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. It’s good to know I’m a constant source of entertainment.

This is your sign that today, this very ordinary day, can be your moment to change everything. Flow with change, embrace who you are, and allow life to shift into what is meant to be!
