Although it was cold and crisp it was also bright and sunny here in London today. If you live in London you know what a treat sunshine is in the winter when the daylight hours are short and it’s typically dark and overcast. My plan for today was to get out and see an art exhibition that a couple of my friends were participating in. Normally I use the London underground also known as the tube for transportation.  As far as public transportation goes I find it to be easy to use and it gets me where I need to go. However, today the station closest to the exhibition was closed. So from Euston station I was forced to ride the bus.

Maybe it wasn't as fast as the tube but it was quite enjoyable looking out the window and seeing different parts of London. As we passed by the British Library I made a mental note that I have to visit it soon. It's such a majestic building.  Coming from the US I'm still amazed at the architecture here and the beautiful old buildings. Before I knew it I was in Islington where the show was held. It was a small show but one was about quantity versus quality. I left feeling inspired and decided it was time to start a blog.

I've always enjoyed writing and journaling. Now that I am working as a career intuitive/life coach helping people discover what work is best suited to them and working with them to help them transition into their dream jobs, it just seemed like the right time to start my blog.  I came up with the name for the blog, Happy Fulfilled Life because I help my clients create lives that are happy and fulfilled. I'll write about different things like my experiences living in London and whatever I'm inspired to share. For those of you who are looking to discover what work you are meant to be doing I'll include tips that will help you with this.

Calling this post Sunshine, sunshine was inspired by the lovely sun we had today but as I was typing it the lyrics of the U2 song Unknown Caller came to me. The song actually starts with Bono singing "sunshine, sunshine." It's a song about connecting to our higher self. Some people might call this God, or their Buddha self or the void. The song urges the listener to "shush now, cease to speak, so I may speak." When we quiet ourselves and allow our minds to stop thinking about our daily concerns through meditation or chanting we connect with our highest self. It's then that we receive the guidance we need. Our highest self already knows what direction we need to take but we need to quiet ourselves from all the thoughts going on in our head to be able to hear it. When we regularly practice chanting and/or meditation things just begin to flow in our lives. Synchronicities occur. The right people and situations begin to show up. If you don't feel the work you are doing is meaningful and you are not inspired when you wake up in the morning try meditating or chanting. It will help you battle stress and help you relax. When you are relaxed it's easier for new ideas to come to you. These new ideas could lead you to the work you are meant to do.
