Renée Vos De Wael asks a valid question: Who am I?
Knock, knock, who’s there?
“Being me.” What does that mean? You probably think this is a strange question for an intuitive counsellor. Isn’t this something she should have figured out when she started giving her readings and coaching sessions? I’m not sure about that last question but the thing is, in life we sometimes just kinda stumble into things. These things take us from one place to another and before we know it we are busy with our day-to-day life, having fun (or not so much,) learning new things or repeating lessons over and over. This has nothing to do with one’s profession, and everything to do with showing up as the best person one can be. So not just drifting from one day into the next. The process to “be you” is a challenge for all of us, and I would like to share this journey with you… and invite you to share your story.
In my life, we move around a lot. So far this has been 5 countries, 4 continents and 13 houses. We seem to move to a different country every 2 years, although sometimes as long as 4. I find this way of living fascinating and always think, “Okay this will give me an opportunity to do it differently at my new destination. This time around I’ll stay true to my own personality. I’ve been given an opportunity to start fresh on this new canvas.” The fact of the matter is I don’t start fresh… I just take my life just from one place of the world to another place of the world. The “starting anew” somehow disappears very quickly. Why, I really don’t know, but I just want to fit in and be likeable. What are people doing in this community? How can I blend in? and, Please don’t let me be weird or different. This means making sure I don’t stand out in the crowd, in any way. On top of that, my goal is always to build a “normal” life as quickly as possible, so that I blend in with the environment.
Over the last 14 years I have been blending in and it has given me an opportunity to step into many different footsteps, but none of them were mine.
I have experienced things that where neither my feelings nor my fears. But I did invite them in as a long lost relative and gave them a place in my life. Some of these feelings have made me start doing things like eating a lot, following new hobbies as if they were my biggest passion and they were not, and feeling emotions that were borrowed from someone else’s heart. But also causes me to let go of my own gifts as a clairvoyant, medium, and my connection with the spirit world. I would see things happening to people, want to help but get completely burned down, just because I was identifying with something or someone that wasn’t my lesson, neither to learn nor to experience it.
Of course all of this has been an amazing learning curve and brought a lot of challenges to my life. I may have been on adventures that weren’t mine, but I’m still glad I could be there.
While I was role-playing these parts as if they were mine, needless to say I have managed to lose track of Renee.
So this is going to be my time to find out about me. I think Renee is an interesting person and fun to hang around with. I also realize this is not something unique and there are more people out there who have been going through the same thing.
For awhile now I have been waiting for another move, so that this time I could truly start anew. Of course this move was not just around the corner like I thought and I started wondering, “What it is I’m waiting for?”
I have set myself a challenge for the next coming year: Every week I am going on an expedition to figure out who I am and why I’m this amazing person to be with. (I guess) What is it that makes me a great friend, fantastic college, amazing intuitive to work with?
So let me introduce to you Renee…
Namaste,
Renée Vos de Wael
