For the past few weeks, since the beginning of 2011 actually, I have been mired in the 3-D world with all of its muckiness and ugliness. But here is thing – I realize that I created this myself. This is what I contracted for – this is what I brought in so that I can truly see where I need to make adjustments for my own growth. I asked for it – and it came full head on.
In 2004, I had two car accidents almost back to back. As I was mending from the first, I was re-injured in the second. Those that were around me, who I trusted, all recommended that I go to an attorney and sue. I’ve never done that before and I saw really quickly that I really wasn’t wanting to continue. But I did. Finally, this past week, six years later, it came to final arbitration. I saw first hand a small part of our legal and insurance system. Now, keep in mind that I have been a customer of my insurance company for over 25 years and have paid an exorbitant amount of money with no claims until these accidents. The other insured was under-insured, so my attorney went for our company for our under-insured policy. Of course, my insurance company did everything to not pay. And, I have to say, their attorney did an outstanding job. She is to be applauded for chewing up my attorney and spitting her out. Needless to say, my attorney did not do her job and …. well, I’m still waiting for the outcome. It was brutal and definitely not something I ever want to go through again.
Then there is the part of taking a real, long, hard look at my business and where I am going with it. The economy has had a drastic input on my clientele and I’m not sure where it is going. I have an amazing vision and know where I want it to go. But visions don’t pay the bills. I have put so much into Earth Touch Healing Arts – it’s my baby. But, I know I have to grow farther than I have ever gone. I have several opportunities. Some will give me immediate financial funding and some will take more time. As I find myself in the thick of 3-D, I am reminded that in order to rise above, I have to step out of myself and into the 4-D or even 5-D to see the larger picture. Can I do that effectively? That is another blog!
