Joining in late for last week's Five Minute Friday post over at Kate Motaung's blog. The prompt for last Friday was "lose".
In 2012 I got accepted to a grad school in Seattle into their Counseling Psychology program. I would have been a non traditional student, for sure, but I have felt called to help others in this way since my college days.
Because of circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to move from Iowa out to Seattle, WA with my hubby to attend grad school.
Four years later, I am now unsure if I even want to go to grad school.
What gives? What makes you lose your focus, the purpose that seemed like it was burning a hole in my heart and (soon to be burning a hole in my pocket)?
I don't understand it at all.
I have no desire right now to look into local programs.
I read something from the Tiny Buddha website yesterday that one of my Facebook friends posted about purpose.
That nothing has to be done in a hurry. And, just because we don't know what to do right now, doesn't mean that "right now" doesn't have meaning.
That, to look at what is "right now" beckoning me, or calling me, is what I could do, that the "right now" can be my purpose.
Right now, my intuition, my gut is calling me to paint. I've been experimenting with acrylics and mixed media for a little over a year.
I'm not sure where this is leading me, but this is my "right now".
What is your "right now"?

I love what I've learned both on and off the canvas as I take bold, brave, courageous steps to make something out of nothing.
I'm not sure where this is leading me, but this is my "right now".

Visiting from FMF a week late. Life changes. Priorities change. But we have now ... and it sounds like you are taking full advantage of it!
