Unintended Consequences

 For the past several months, almost everywhere I go are people who do nothing but bitch about their SO's, spouses and families, to the point where one would think it was a national pastime. Public bitching about one's partner or children, although I have done it myself when really frustrated in the past, is a pet peeve of mine. 

 Despite trying to be understanding, and despite having been an occasional perpetrator of this behavior myself, it still aggravates me when I hear others bitching about thier partners.

The last straw for me, was a couple of nights ago, when a someone I know decided it would be appropriate to get started with the bitching.  I didn't really want to hear it, but I quietly listened anyway, although I wasn't really certain as to why, at that particular moment.  So I sat and listened and hoped for the best of the lesson that was to be learned by this, would be learned painlessly and quickly so I could go on my merry way.  My wish wasn't entirely granted.

A few days later, after a lot of flailing about and doing the 'why do I always get to deal with the kvetching people?' thing, I got a dose of clarity on exactly why I had started this blog, which in turn has evolved over a few months with an aim towards the business I am founding.

  What I envision is a safe, wholistic retreat for people to actually do the work that  prepares them for the best of what they were meant to do in this world, bringing skills from the corporate world, the business world, and the relationship counselling world, together.  We've all heard the phrase 'For love, or money.'..well this place would bring the practical skills that could be taught in either the love arena, or the business arena, together.

  I envision a place where people can learn how not to screw up thier relationships with the folks that they love.  I envision a place where folks can learn to repair relationships that have gone off the rails.  I envision a place where people can learn how to do or get thier businesses right.  All this as opposed to flailing about in a sea of confusion.

I envision founding a charity of some sort, although that part of the picture isn't clear to me yet.

Then I realized what the Universe had been trying to tell me..it was to keep going with my dream!

Until next time..peace!
