I'm preparing to host Thanksgiving dinner for 10. I'm not stressed as I've done it before and since I think that's what I do best - hospitality. At 52, I still wonder what my gifts are, what is my purpose in life and too often it comes down to serving others, making sure others are happy, comfortable and at peace. I've never accepted being hospitable as a gift and especially not a purpose in life. As I go forward though, I feel it stronger and more apparent but I still fight it. How can I make a living being kind, caring and comforting? I don't plan on working in a hotel - ever, and I can't see myself running a large Bed & Breakfast...though I have imagined a small cozy 2-5 day retreat cottage that would bring my health coaching work more to life. Sometimes you have to stop fighting it and go with it if even just to see where it takes you. These are things to ponder, things to reach for and things that make dreams reality; but for now, I remain somewhat lost in my purpose and focused on my natural gift of wanting to help people be happy and find a slice of peacefulness in their lives. I see the cup half-full, I thrive on smiles and warm hearts and I try to cultivate peace wherever I am and with whomever I encounter. Happy Thanksgiving!
