Finding your “Life’s Purpose”

As many of you know, I love doing lots of things, but that also brings me to get lost in the ‘so many things’ and then, I have a very hard time finding one goal. Perhaps, like me, a 37 year old gal!, many of us don’t truly know what our Life’s purpose is. For me, I feel that I am on the ‘right’ path to finding that purpose but it’s not specific just yet. While I recently started my quest of ‘living in the present’, I also like ‘living for a purpose’.
By no coincidence, I found the push, the help, the knowledge, of a person extremely dear to me, a truly inspiring and wonderful being to help me find MY ‘way’.
Susan Bird, is not only a dear friend, but a multi-talented gorgeous, fantastic diving instructor and life coach —among many other things. Therefore, I invite you all to participate in the ‘Spring Manifestation’ series that Susan is putting together this New Moon, April 3, 2011. If you are interested, please visit her website at: http://wayofthewhale.com/ direct path here: http://wayofthewhale.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=89
Please feel free to ask me any questions about this life changing experience and about Susan.
I wish us all a wonderful week, filled with great thoughts, positive energy, happy moments, mindfulness, and Love, lots and lots of Love.
Namaste, Caro

I believe the hardest part of starting anything in life is to start; OK I am starting right now.

I’ve often wonder what to write about. I live a small life, a small but a meaningful life. I am grateful and I spend a lot of my days contemplating the fortune and the gift of being alive. At first, I thought to be ‘kidding’ myself by thinking that I was superficially happy, that my smiles were often hiding deep pain, but after much deliberation, I realize I have absolutely no reason not to be 'happy'.

I am healthy, I have the love of my family, I have the love of my friends. The beauty of the world around me is beyond measure. Sure, there are days that are harder than others, sure, I’ve suffered pain in my life and yet I feel like my suffering was mostly because I was not able to learn to deal with pain. I believe I am learning now. I feel I am able to embrace pain and welcome it as a positive learning experience and as part of being alive.

My life’s purpose among other things is to bring joy to anyone who wants to read my blog, to inject positive energy, to share anecdotes about life and to maintain a positive flow of energy and kind vibrations throughout the universe in good and also in bad times.

So let me start my blog as if we were already in the middle of a conversation…(and yes, does this remind you of a movie?) would you remember which movie this is?

It’s a beautiful day in the City of San Francisco. I take a break from a project at work and inhale. I have a nice big window that overlooks the street downtown. I am enjoying the passing of the clouds and remembering that the two plants on my desk need watering. Their names Kimmie and Tamara. By the way, have you tried, for a change, to live in the moment? carpe punctum – seize the moment? to truly take the time to look at the items on your desk, at the coffee mug, at the water glass, at everything around you? to listen to the different noises, the smells, and open your senses to the now; this happens to be a great way for me to quiet the chatter in my brain, this seems to be the answer to many things that I will share with you...


For now, give this a try. Try. Carpe Punctum.
