It is true! Dreams really do come true! How amazing is this journey called life when we are truly open to the possibilities available to us? My last blog was written with a very strong yearning to return to South Australia, even though I was surrounded by such beauty, both in nature and the people around me in far north Queensland. The gypsy spirit in me won out and I returned to South Australia.

I think about my time in Cairns and surrounds as a beautiful interlude which brought me many lessons. My work with victims of spinal injuries was amongst the most fulfilling and gratifying experiences in my life so far. These wonderful gentlemen, in varying states of quadriplegia provided daily inspiration. They also played a part in my deciding that life is far too fickle and unpredictable to be where you don’t want to be.

For a short time I also returned to the healing profession of massage. What an absolute treat to have the opportunity to work in the beautiful Daintree area. Even though I was doing that which I love to do in an idealic surrounding my soul was still not at peace. When a multitude of circumstances came together it soon became obvious that my return to South Australia was inevitable so I threw caution to the wind and booked a flight for Adelaide.

What came next for me was like a dream unfolding into reality right before my eyes. While visiting my son in Stirling North I paid a routine visit to a local GP in Port Augusta. The GP suggested I speak with a naturopath so after some enquiries of my son and his fiancé off I went to the local health food store. Unbeknown to me my lovely daughter in law to be had told the naturopath of my imminent arrival and my massage skills. Within moments of being in the store I had been offered the opportunity to work from the well-established clinic, with a list of clients already waiting! How on earth could I possibly not accept such a wonderful offer? Living so close to the stunning Flinders Ranges which have totally won my heart, working in the profession which gives me most fulfilment and satisfaction… this is has been my dream for some time now. On top of this amazing happening not only do I have my dream job, I also have the flexibility and the time to nurture my love of writing and photography.

I have learned so much in the past few years but this has been the strongest lesson for me. Never doubt your intuition! If I had doubted myself and stayed on in far north Queensland I would not have had the chance to open this door. Yes, I am sure that doors would have opened, however they would have been to different paths on this journey. For now I know without a doubt that this is indeed where I am meant to be at this point in time.

In answer to the question I posed in my previous blog…’Destination Unknown…does it really matter?’ NO! It certainly does not matter for eventually you will come to the place you are meant to be. Trusting in your intuition is putting faith in yourself and the Universe to deliver. The struggles that we meet along the way are merely chapters within the book which is the story of our lives.

For now all I can say is Live, Love, Laugh and Trust! Angels do exist.
