I am a multi-faceted being and I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, sometimes I forget, being human, and think I am just one thing and that one thing and how it's going represents my contribution in this world - what poppycock! (love using that word :) Recently I got a lovely reminder about this from a documentary on Neil Young - he spoke of having to follow his creative muse, no matter what others thought he should being doing - that he could venture off onto any path that beckoned his creative juices. That, like your post, was a beautiful permission letter on perfect stationary, written in my favorite font, with a golden calligraphy pen! Thank you for your letter too - I'll keep it in the same special container for magic reminders. To living the joy, wherever it shows up!

I have beaten myself up so many times because of this whole niche thing as well. I mean how do you make a niche out of the things I love and what I am doing now? Writing, technology (love Excel) trainer, coaching, social media, spirituality, working in a start-up, consciousness shifting (type of energy work based on kinesiology). And then of course there's the bills to pay. I found myself buying into that myth..if I could just package all this and market it like mad, then I'd be grand. LOL. Was reassuring to hear from you Jennifer - who seems to have a comfortable :-) niche that you still struggle...obviously this post touched a chord.. I have to say I love da Universe’s timing.

I've been so busy trying to FOCUS that I haven't even allowed myself to connect through this wonderful playground until now ... and oh how I love to connect & to play! This post caught my eye (and heart) at an important time of reflection & renewal. Thank you, dear Jen, for all the delicious flowers of focused creation you are offering this world, one petal at a time.

I thought I was the only one who was struggling with the niche thing. It makes so much sense, but it's just not me! I can't believe I'm reading this post today--it fits so well with my new realization. Or rather, I was able to actually allow myself to admit that I already have lots to offer and that I could actually make a living from it. This was just icing on the cake. uhhh….a hundred times: Thank You! I thought I was the only one who was struggling with the niche thing. It makes so much sense, but it’s just not me!
