I have now been off work for 3 weeks from having my gall bladder surgery and have another 3 weeks to go. I probably won’t *need* the time, but I’ll take it. The military has its problems, but some aspects are good! When it comes to health, I’ve always got the “better safe than sorry” approach – whether sending me for tests – or, in this case, extra recovery time.

We also have a “back to work” plan in place with a reduced work schedule for the 2 months that follow. My doctor, gratefully, takes my mental health into consideration, and when she asked how it was at my last appointment last week, I said it was great! It’s probably the best it’s been since I went to my current unit 3 years ago. So, by extending my sick leave, I won’t be going back to my “current” unit, but going straight to my new unit. Plus, it’ll limit the time with the person I’m replacing (he’s extremely negative, so the less time together, the better!)

My previous blog post talks about my plans and the first week I was off. It was during that first week that I received a… message during one of my meditations – and it aligned with what my girlfriend told me – that I knew that not all of my plans would happen as my focus would be elsewhere.

The second week, I reviewed all of my Reiki material, and I completed my Crystal Reiki Master Certification course. Last week, I’ve started making changes to my website, so I now offer distance Reiki Sessions, and I’m putting together an e-commerce store for my art and jewelry.

I’m hoping to start offering in-person Reiki sessions, but as we live in military housing, there’s a lot of hoops to jump through, so we’ll see. I might look at renting space at a studio or at one of the crystal shops that have treatment rooms. But, for now, it will be distance sessions.

So, for a good 2-3 days, I struggled with getting everything set up. And I mean struggled – wanting to throw my phone across the room frustrated! But, I eventually got there… with some help from the site gurus. Now I just need to add more products – which I have – I just need to photograph them.

If you follow me on IG, you will start noticing changes there, too. Yes, I’ll still have my regular content, but I will be posting more soul-focused content.

I’ve been avoiding this for too long. I was into the metaphysical and energy healing as a teenager, but I lost my way in societal expectations.

This is me taking back my power by following my Soul’s Path.
