Episode Details

One year after I wrote an article entitled 'Bloom Before You Go' that was a message to me, to be happy where I was now so I could have closure here and create the energetic paradigm for my new location from a place of joy, I got another message, bloom time was over, it was time to go. Other places are calling me and I am ready to go. I had done all of the blooming I could, ‘grow time’ is over and it’s now ‘go time’. You can listen to that article in podcast episode 15.

I did my best to bloom, to be happy in a place where I was very unhappy, to put the lessons I had learned in place were I was and to seek fulfillment there, instead of dashing out the door at the first opportunity. 

And I did that successfully, there was nothing more for me to do now but since I had decided to be at my highest vibes even though I did not want to be there, that was the energy I was taking to my new place. 

I know I have put this article in the context of moving to a new area but this is part of every life transformation. The energy we leave with is the energy we start our new life path with

We do have to ‘bloom where we are’ before we can move on because things are not always better somewhere else. And we have work to complete where we are so we can move on to another place at a higher vibe.  If we move on when we’re resentful, miserable, and unhappy, we’ll take that energy with us into the new place AND we will attract a place with that kind of energy.

It can seem like we’re the last in line, that others get to move on while we have to stay in a place where we really are not happy, don’t fit, and don’t seem to resonate with the energy of the place at all.

But eventually it is time to move on. That day of release we have long been awaiting finally comes around for us.

There’s another reason why we stay in places longer than we need to and this is part of the ‘bloom before you go’ lesson. Sometimes that lesson is for us to take control over when we are finished, when we give a voice to our soul’s desire to expand into new potentials and abandon our quest to heal everyone or change the world.

Sometimes that’s hard to do because we want to make sure that we have fulfilled our entire purpose where we are, learned all of its lessons, and done all we could do. 

Sometimes the fulfillment of that life purpose is how many people we heal and transform. So we hang around, sending small or large hints at them to get on with it so we can move on. But, here’s an insight flash for you, our life purpose and life path movement do not depend on what anyone does with their healing. 

Our mission is to put the information in front of them and let them choose. This is how we honor their energetic sovereignty.

Imagine what would happen if you went to a restaurant and after the server brought your food, they tied a bib around your neck, sat next to you, and fed you every bite, also telling you that you had to eat everything on your plate or you would not get dessert. You would probably think they were mad and would never go to that restaurant again.

Mostly, though, we don’t want to repeat lessons in our new place, we want a new beginning

My geraniums are in full bloom now, although winter is approaching and they will die with the first frost. They know that their blooming season is nearly over but they’re giving me one final burst of beauty before they go. They could just stop blooming because they’re going to die anyway — we have already had a few cold mornings, and they know that winter is coming. But they are blooming until the end, going out with a glorious finale and that’s how I’m going to go too. When we know it’s time to go we can stop blooming, wait, hold back on our joy but it’s much more fun to keep blooming as we walk out the door.

The decision to move on is often hard depending on how we view it. If we want to have perfection and completion, and we have created expectatio
