Looking back, it was my intuition calling.... and I didn't even know it!

Once upon a time, about 6 ½ years ago I followed my intuition and really had no idea that that was what I was doing! Or really what intuition was!

It was Christmas Eve, and I had my wisdom teeth removed. (not the best day to do that!!) Well I was back at my Mom’s house, lying on the couch, drugged on pain killers watching tv.

*A little side note….. I had graduated college with my bachelors, took my first job in my area of study and did not like it…. So I had moved back in with my parents and was working odd jobs to just get by….

Not only was I bored, I was feeling uneasy with the fact that I had graduated college and had no idea where I was going or what I was doing!

So as I flipped the channels I turned to the Hawaii Bowl Football game…. I thought…. Hmmmm HONOLULU……

Well long story short, I did just a small amount of research, packed two suitcases, and got on an airplane on Jan 3!!!!!! Just 10 days later!!!!! Talk about a light load, and a lofty dream!!

I landed in Honolulu; my bags didn’t make it….. Talk about a strange feeling. No one waiting for me, in fact I did not know even one person on the island! I had reserved a hotel room for 5 nights, so that was where I was headed.

Now the first couple days, I had TONS of tremendous emotion. Not only had I just up and moved to an island…. Where I did not know one person, I did not have a job, and I did not have a place to live. As I made my way through that first 48 hours, I learned more about myself, grew as a person, and stretched myself further than I would have ever thought possible.

Within 10 days of being there, I had found an apartment to share, I found a job, bought a car, but most of all…… I found an inner strength in myself, that I never knew existed.

I ended up living there for almost 4 years!!! And what an incredible experience it was! I got married there, and had 2 amazing little girls, both born in Honolulu. Looking back, I now know it was indeed my intuition telling me to go. It was exactly what I required in my life at that time. A big change of scenery, and a new found ME!!!
