The Why? card from Colette Baron-Reid’s Wisdom of the Oracle deck

I keep picking the Why? card from Colette Baron-Reid’s new deck – the Oracle of the Wisdom. A pixie-like figure with wispy wings touching a book with wings. A question mark behind her and spirit looking down upon her. During a Soul Healing Meditation class which was based on ‘your soul’s purpose’, I chose it again – the fourth time already this year!

And yes, Spirit, I am listening.

Earlier in the week, I had read a few entries from my 18 year old self’s diary. I hadn’t read it for a very long time and am re-reading parts at the moment for some inner child healing work I am doing. My 18 year old self had realised what her purpose was in life – her big why – to be exact on 18th April 1992. Amongst my purpose thoughts were:

…to teach in a village school in India and to write a book… 

AND I also realised that at age 42, those were still part of my bigger purpose. I had done parts of them along the way on my life’s journey – during my time studying Ayurveda in India, I taught at the Mother Teresa Ashram and the first draft of my life coaching & meditation book is complete.

...and I had also had some detours. Some were fun diversions, some not so much. At the moment, one of my favourite things to say is ‘life is life… because, well it is. Life is just that – it is LIFE. It is all the ups, it is all the downs. It is all the in-betweens.

It can be a glorious mess, it can be exciting, it can confuse, frustrate and it can be enlightening. 

As I reach deeper within the message of the Why? card and what I had written as my younger self, I am again becoming aware of life, of soul, of purpose. What is my soul’s purpose in this journey of life?

Dear soul… What is your soul’s purpose in your life’s journey? For me, purpose can change – there can be different aspects of the why during life. One thing I have realised though is that perhaps there are deeper aspects of self which have always been present. Like the deep knowing my 18 year old self had.

Dear soul… Go back to your 18 year old self. Can you remember what your purpose or why was at that time? Is any of that still ringing true for you today?

Accountability… small steps… What one little, small, tiny thing are you going to do today to bring you that one step closer to your big, huge why…
