Necessity breeds Creativity

I have been on quite the mission since I left PA. I have often reminded myself how bold it was to move so far away from everything I knew. After my daughter announced moving to Costa Rica, I decided I wasn't quite done here. However, infiltrating a community after 56 years in one town is more expanding than I considered. 

I love selling the water and shower units. It takes time to build up a team in a new area. I also learn the online way but even that takes me to vulnerability I am not used too. Youth shares far more about themselves than I was taught to.  I haven't sold online and as an elder, saw fb as a family report not a money making platform. Of course, it was designed as that kind of platform and I am learning how to use it as such. All new things take a learning curve. It has been fun to learn. Necessity breeds creativity.

To get out more I have done many side jobs. I watched kids, worked at a chriopractor, gardened for another,  did odd jobs helping people pack to move and have coached other business woman. It has been good for me to do these odd things for it gets me out into a world and town that I am not of.  Necessity breeds creativity. 

 Although at times it seems like a mish mosh, I realize that it actually good for my creativity and expanding to be part of community here. I hid for so many years raising my daughter at my flower farm and I truly loved the butterflies, bees, dogs, chickens and goats as my friends. I am not so extroverted as many think. When I go out I want to connect, but I am happy playing in plants most days. Lots of people overwhelm me. Especially with the energy around. I like small groups and deep and giggly conversation. 

I have many times thought how hard it is to become part of a new place. Yet I chose to stay here and even if it was different than I knew, It has gotten me to know how resilient I am. I have met many to play with, garden with, date, coach, dance with,  sell ionizers to and adventure with. It is a bit out of my box but I learn many cool things about myself and others. I look at life as all of it is for my highest good. So when I can't see it, I remember, the world is working for and with me to be what I came to be. 

My point is that when you need to expand, creativity comes in. We all love creativity. It is fun, unknown, mysterious yet it delights us. I have asked inward so many times, what I am here for? I know the bottom line is health, beauty, sustainability and helping others. That has unfolded in so many ways. In this moment, I can really honor myself for this resilience. I have stretched beyond the quarters of Bucks County Lyn. It has netted me much but I continue to want more. Alittle of this and alittle of that.

I inspire you too to see necessity as creativity. It doesn't always feel that way. Necessity is kind of a harsh world or energetic vibration. However, despite the vibe, it digs in at you to really ask what would make me happy to do? How do I want to participate in life out here? What fun ways can I fill in all the areas of life we need nourishment in that isn't hard and exhausting? Fun hopefully too.  

If you sit through it, it unfolds into beauty. It can get scary but really, if I was cozy I wouldn't expand and keep growing as much. I am an introvert unless we are in my space or I feel strong to go lead and play. I've used energy and wisdom wisely. I feel a huge turn for myself that all the pieces are coming together. It feels delicious! It may not of happened if I wasn't in necessity!

Remember the next time you need to expand, it will bring in creative expansion even if it feels weird at first. It will bring in what you want if you go for it.
