This is my first time writing. My most precious Hannah (west highland white terrier) died March 10th of this year and my life is so changed and I feel so empty. I had her for 12 years, the longest commitment I have ever made in my life. She brought out the absolute best in me and now I feel like I have lost a part of me forever. My passion and my dream are to teach children unconditional love through the vehicle of animals. I had my own pet sitting business for 5 years and it was the beginning of opening my heart. 2 years ago I met the most precious child and ever since I am convinced that I am to bring the two together and this is where I want to put my energy and spend my time.
The problem, I have to make a living for myself. Previously I have done accounting work and I am very unhappy doing this kind of work so I am pursuing other avenues and feel very confused and frustrated. The things that present themselves to me are surely not enough to live on and I just don't know what is right anymore. I tried for 5 years to do the accounting to pay the bills and volunteered on weekends at Children's Hospital and I feel no closer to my dream. Work I don't like just keeps me distracted from my vision, my dreams, my passion.
My faith seems to wonder, I don't know what is right or which way to go. I don't want to go back to accounting, I really believe that is not where the universe is leading me but I'm at a loss.
How do you know if something is for you to pursue or say no to? I get so confused as to if something is really for my highest good or is it a lesson?
Thanks for listening!
