As I found my soul's purpose, my outer life crumbled further into dust. I broke up with the last of my drug-abusing boyfriends, gave away most of my possessions, put the rest in storage, bought a used car online and tore out of LA, heaven-bent on doing only that which pleased my heart and soul, nothing more, nothing less. Many of my 'friends' at that time were already displeased with me and wrote me off altogether. I guess this is what happens when you tell the Universe that you will live your Life Purpose no matter what!

I had magnets made for my car that read "Hands Of America Tour" with my toll-free phone number and email address printed on them. I sent out press releases to local town publications in advance of my arrival which helped me book the hand readings that paid for my travels. I managed to get to 10 of the 50 states on my tour before I met my now-husband, Mark. He patiently waited for me as I continued on the road, trying to figure out if he was the right guy or if I was falling back into my old patterns of co-dependency. My family helped steer me straight on this one. "Uh, Beth, he is THE guy." Oh, right. Thank you.

Nine years later, I am still reading hands in addition to teaching other people how to read hands, leading business coaching master minds for spirit-minded entrepreneurs, selling information products and doing public speaking. Next up is the TV and/or radio show. Discussions are in the works... what fun it is to say "YES" to my Life Purpose. I haven't been depressed a day in nine years. Now that's what I call a complete recovery. God bless spiritual medicine and men and women like Terry-Linn who have the courage to say "yes" to that quiet, powerful voice within.

Without Terry-Linn's courage, I sometimes wonder what would have become of me. I am now a believer. Every sincere prayer, for our highest good, is answered. And I figure if a prayer isn't answered, it's not for my or anyone else's highest good. These days, I just pray this prayer, "Universe use me. Use me for the highest good of myself and others. I am your humble servant. Lead me. I will go where you ask. I will do what you ask me to do. I am here to fulfill my purpose on the planet before I am rendered into dust."

Knowing that I am at once irreplaceable and yet fully dispensable makes me simultaneously realize the HUGE responsibility I have to be honest and true to myself while also not sweating it too much. When I croak, the world will keep spinning and life will go on. It's more a matter of how I want to remembered - as someone who lived up to her potential or as someone who observed life, taking the backseat and criticizing, whining, or complaining rather than being and doing my best. For me, the choice isn't even a choice because the answer is so obvious.

Until we meet again, may you know and live your life purpose if it's the last thing you do! I thank you for joining me on this remarkable journey of discovery!
