"I need to find and keep my balance ... with a much greater focus on care and time for self, the missing part that left me feeling incomplete and with some regrets."
—Carol Cochran, age 75
as published here in the Minnesota Women's Press
This is one woman's intention to follow her heart. Last weekend I encountered others who aren't ready to honor their hearts. ("Who has the time?" shrugged one.) In considering these various positions and attitudes toward heart's path discovery, I came to a few conclusions:
- There is a need for Learn + Explore + Share and for people to Join the Upcoming Heart's Path Discovery Session.
- A person is never too old to begin discovering and living her heart's true path.
- Focusing on discovering and living one's true path is a personal choice.
Where are you in the heart's path spectrum? Are you content and fulfilled following your true path? (If so, contact me to arrange a Heart's Path Explorer interview!) Are you just beginning to explore your possibilities? Have you been seeking your purpose and haven't known where to look? Are you ready to dig deep and start listening to your heart?
You’re invited to share the story of your own journey in a comment below, at the community Facebook page or via twitter.

This is a good question. I think I've always known my heart's path was art, but let others voices and opinions drown me out. I'd like to be pursuing art full time, but for now I'm making myself content by committing to making art daily when I come home at night. This has at least made me feel like I'm making small steps every day, rather than just wishing and wanting all of the time.
Your in person session sounds fun. It's great that you are spreading this message!

75? And I sometimes worry I'm too late at 40!
I'm definitely on my right path now, but it did take me a lot of twists and turns to get here. I'm still only at the start of my journey though, so I've devoted this year towards taking concrete (baby) steps to get me even further down that path. So exciting!

I'm on my path, most definitely, and I'm discovering the path is full of branches and twists and turns. Nothing simple about it and yet It's all an adventure as I explore the way.
