Danise from West Hamlin, WV, asked:

Hi Julie, 

Since I listen to your podcast every week, I know you’ve helped so many people by giving them a glimmer of hope and direction. 

About 6 months ago I emailed you and said that I felt a huge change was going to happen in my life. It has now happened.

I was let go from a job with people I love and with whom I’ve worked for the past 17 years. A job in which I have 30 years experience.

I’m a newspaper graphic designer and have ink in my blood. I’m 57 years old and am now faced with trying to figure out what the next stage of my life is to be.

Julie, I don’t know where to turn. I’ve never been fired from a job. In fact when I was let go I was told it was a business decision and that they loved my work. I guess they couldn’t afford me anymore. Can you help me please?

Hi Danise,

My heart goes out to you as you go through this metamorphosis into the next chapter of your life.

I understand how scary it is to be laid off since it happened to me when I was 24. In my case however, I used it as a path to figure out where I wanted to live and what I wanted to do. Within two weeks I interviewed for and was offered several positions. I accepted one and moved to Los Angeles. Since I started my first company there, met my husband and got married there, had my son there, invented surgical devices and founded several other companies there, and loved living there for 15 years, I can honestly say, my being laid off ended up being a huge blessing. I believe the same can and will happen for you.

When I ask if it’s in your best interest to stay in the graphic arts field, I get a YES. When I ask if it’s in your best interest to stay in the newspaper graphic arts field, I also get a YES – with a caveat. When I ask if it’s in your best interest to broaden your scope to include non-newspaper graphics projects, once again I get a YES (that’s the caveat). 

Now, some suggestions …

In the short run, I “got” it may be a good idea for you to contemplate an online career. Everything is digital and there’s no reason you can’t work from home.

1) Look into becoming a freelance graphic artist on sites like Elance and Fiverr. It can bring in immediate income, get your name out there and perhaps lead to a permanent position somewhere.

2) Consider volunteering at a local high school, college, or university. You could share your knowledge with students who will most likely educate you on the newest trends in the world of graphics. This could create opportunities for you to network with adults and kids alike. And who knows, some of those kids may have parents and/or acquaintances whose companies need your skills.

3) Listen to the Design Matters podcast by Debbie Millman. Debbie is an award-winning graphic artist and co-founder and professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Tim Ferris says, “She’s designed everything from wrapping paper to beach towels, greeting cards to playing cards, notebooks to t-shirts and Star Wars merchandise to global Burger King rebrands.” I believe she has been involved with the packaging design of close to 20% of the products found in most grocery stores.

Even though Debbie isn’t a newspaper graphic artist, the fact she came to my mind when thinking of you tells me you’ll glean ideas from listening to her show.

Another reason may be Debbie is responsible for one of my favorite quotes, one that’s applicable to all of us and especially you in your current situation. That quote is, “Hard decisions are only hard when you’re in the process of making them.”

Follow your passion, take one step at a time, and trust you’ll be led to the next step.

Good luck on your new adventure. I truly believe it’s going to be terrific for you!

New Career Wanted

1 Comment / /

D.E. from Port Orchard, WA, asked:

Hi Julie,

Do you have any career insights for me? I’m thinking of a web design related career.

Also, do you get anything about my going back to school?

Thank you.

Hi D.E.,

When I got you on my radar I could see the spirits of a lot of medical professionals surrounding you. There were doctors wearing their long white lab coats, nurses with stethoscopes hanging around their necks, and what looked like other hospital support staff.

When I asked if it was in your best interest to work in a hospital, I got a YES.

When I asked if it was in your best interest to work in a hospital IT department, I also got a YES.

And then when I asked if it was in your best interest to go back to school, I got a NO.

Perhaps this could mean there might be on-the-job training.

Keep in mind, the information I receive for future events relate to this moment in time and is probable not certain. There are too many variables (including your own free will) that can determine an outcome.

Just focus on what you enjoy and the path for your new career will emerge. It’ll be fun to see what unfolds for you.

Good Luck!

House Sale

/

Victoria from London, England, asked:

Hi Julie,

Hope you are having a fabulous new year!

My question relates to our house. It has been on the market for over a year. We’ve had a couple of offers we turned down and then just before Christmas we accepted a higher offer but then the buyer pulled out. We now have a friend who wishes to buy but for a lower price than what we’re asking.  

My question really is, are we meant to sell the house and if so when do you think?  I would like to buy somewhere where we can build our dream house.  Is this right for us?

Thanks and Much Love, Victoria 

Hi Victoria,

Lovely to hear from you and happy 2017 to you too!

Regarding your house, at this moment in time I “got” it IS in your best interest to sell it and NOT in your best interest to accept the low offer from your friend.

Having said that I also “get” it’s in your best interest to sell house when the right price is offered regardless of who’s making the offer.

Your dream house is coming and the timing is all playing out perfectly! Just trust in the process and believe it’s all working out in your best interest.

There are about a bazillion scenarios that can lead to you and your family living in your dream house and all of them will produce the same outcome.

You’ll see. At some point you’ll look back at this time and realize how well everything worked out.

Consider it an adventure!

Soul Mate Search

/

Andre from Lagoa, Portugal, asked:

Will I find my soul mate?

Hi Andre,

Yes you will. In fact, you actually have … many times.

Most of us believe there is but one perfect person intended to be our life partner. That premise is false. It’s an entertainment industry concept concocted to sell movies, records, and books.

The truth is, the people who surround us are our soul mates. They’re our parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and acquaintances.

We are eternally connected to everyone we currently know and anyone who has ever been in our lives. And, we interact with them in multiple lifetimes.

Our parents could have been our children, spouses or friends. Our boss might have been our employee. Perhaps our teachers were our students. You get the idea.

Now, as for your finding a romantic soul mate, the answer to that question is also YES.

In order to do that, get involved in activities you enjoy. Consider volunteering for a charitable organization or joining a group of like-minded people (like a book or hiking club).

Be sure to spread the word you’re looking for someone special. Ask people if they know anyone they think you should meet. Include parents and grandparents in the equation. They’re sometimes your best match-makers.

Most of all, have fun with the process!

Sick College Student

Tiffiny from Mansfield, Ohio, asked:

Hello Julie,

First off I would like to say how excited I was to hear you on Law of Attraction radio.

My question is about my health. I’m a full-time student and have always been fairly healthy.

Early in 2016 I was at a job that was emotionally and physically draining. It started to get so bad that I would have a panic attack every day knowing that I had to go to work. I decided it would be a good idea to quit this job and did so in March. Since leaving my job, I have been very sick on 3 different occasions.

In order to help myself heal, I have been listening to some DNA repair meditation tapes.

There was a time when I listened for an hour a day for three days straight and asked the universe to take away whatever was making me sick. I then became violently ill! I was sick for two days with vomiting and diarrhea. Since then I’m afraid to do these meditations because I don’t want to get sick again.

Can you scan me to see if there is anything serious going on that I should get checked out? I haven’t been to a doctor because as a full-time student I don’t have health insurance or an income.

Thank you so much!

Hi Tiffiny,

When scanning you, I see your system is full of toxic mold spores.

Do you live in an old home, dorm, or apartment building? Is it possible for you to move to another home?

While I had you on my radar, I was able to energetically remove a lot of the mold in your body. Your internal organs look sick and distressed.

One thing you can do right now to help heal your body is to avoid foods with mold toxins. They include gluten, yeast, wheat, corn, grain, (except for white rice), peanuts, mushrooms, and grain fed meat and dairy. In addition, stay away from beer and wine which are both full of moldy toxins. An easy food guide of what best to eat can be found and downloaded for free at bulletproofexec.com.

Here are some other suggestions. Research Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, MD, by going to his website survivingmold.com. Dr. Shoemaker is considered to be one of the world’s top experts on treating medical issues caused by mold and other environmental factors. Next, go to moldymovie.com and learn about how to detect mold issues and heal from them. And last, go to paradigmchange.me which is a great mold reference website.

This information is all free and can help you feel better. Hope it helps!

Blessings,

Julie

Update – Why Am I Nauseous?

/

A physician friend sent me this after reading Dani’s question. Thought the information was worth sharing …

“There are so many questions that I have (kidney stones in family, headaches, excessive thirst, insomnia, irritability?)

There is a wonderful website www.parathyroid.com that has great information on it. It is my favorite.

One problem is that some doctors, not knowing much about the parathyroid, will simply draw a blood calcium level, and say “it’s in the normal range”. Well, calcium is crucial to the body and its levels will almost always have calcium in its normal range. It does so at the loss of bone. Normal calcium levels are crucial for the body processes. Some heart irregularities, due to abnormal calcium, can cause death.

To tell if anything is wrong (and it says so in the article), one must check the PTH (parathyroid hormone) level and calcium level at the same time. High PTH’s indicate that it is hyperfunctioning and there are a whole series of things to do thereafter. Note, the parathyroid is next to, but connected to the thyroid gland. In the old days, the parathyroid gland was considered the only endocrine organ that one could not live without. People would die. Now, we have bioidentical, synthetic (all bioidenticals are synthetic) parathyroid to permit life.

Overly active parathyroids can be dangerous, so they need to be treated, and the treatment, outpatient laparoscopic surgery, is easy, safe, and effective in the right hands.”  

Christine Paoletti, MD

Dani from Glendale, CA, asked:

“Hello,

The past few days I can’t seem to shake this nausea. It’s been difficult to be a passenger in a car, feels like I’m getting car sick. As soon as I get out of the car, I’m fine. After a while, it comes back. I’ve taken anti-nausea medicine and it works for a couple hours and then I’m back to being on the verge of trying not to throw up. What do I do?”

Hi Dani,

Sounds like it’s been a rough week for you.

When scanning you I saw a lot of inflammation in your abdomen. Once I got it calmed down, I could see that the walls of your stomach were coated in a layer of excessive calcium. It looks like a hardened, bone-colored, coating with a chalky consistency. I believe you may have a condition called Hypercalcemia. The Mayo Clinic website says, “Hypercalcemia symptoms can include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and constipation, and can be caused by a number of factors ranging from medicines, supplements, and other medical conditions”.

Although I cleared out the excessive calcium from your stomach, your body looks like it’s continuing to produce more. I suggest consulting with your doctor on what’s causing your symptoms and how to best heal yourself.

Hope you feel better soon!

Blessings,

Julie

Is He Coming Back?

/

LaShunda from Douglasville, GA, asked:

“I have been on and off with a guy for nearly 3 years now. We had a disagreement and we haven’t spoken in over a month. Do you feel he’ll come back for a serious relationship? If so, when? Is he involved with someone else at the moment?”
 

Hi LaShunda,

Right now at this moment in time I’m getting that he won’t come back for a serious relationship and that he is currently involved with someone else.

Keep in mind, when predicting the future, there are an unlimited amount of variables that can affect outcome. Will you meet someone you like better? Will his current relationship work out? Does he really possess the attributes you want in a man? The possibilities are endless.

Any decision or combination of choices can change the course of a relationship (or anything else) which makes the future unpredictable. This phenomenon is what religions refer to when discussing how “free will” impacts our lives.

I believe there is always a much bigger picture unfolding than we’re able to perceive. And, I believe things are always happening in our best interest, even when life gets uncomfortable. We’ve all experienced tough situations that have eventually ended up benefitting us.

Do your best to focus on what you want. Think of all the wonderful qualities you’d like to have in your partner and you’ll be more likely to attract that special somebody. Enjoy the adventure!

Blessings,

Julie

Career Quandary

/

Rhonda from Antioch, TN, asked:

“Hi Julie, I am lost on this journey of life, and strive to find my purpose and feel like I am running out of time. I want the freedom to enjoy the world and travel and give my children experiences I never had. For over 20 yrs I have tried many home businesses with no success and struggle to focus. I believe the stress and living check to check has taken toll on my mind, body & spirit. I am currently involved with two home biz opportunities and I’m not sure if this is what I should be doing. Can you see what I should be doing in life and give any guidance? I want to quit my job by the end of the year. Can you see what path should be taken? Thank you in advance. I will schedule a private session with you.”

Hi Rhonda,

I believe most of us experience those same frustrations/emotions at some time in our lives, so please know you’re not alone.

During the past several decades as a business woman, I’ve learned that when I pursue one of my passions, it’s fun and the money always follows. Likewise, when I do something just for the money, the venture usually fails.

When I ask about your passion, I get “sewing”. Does that make sense to you? Do you like to make clothes, monogram, darn, any or all of the above?

Whether it’s sewing or another passion, if you figure out a way to do it, you’ll most likely figure out a way to monetize doing it. Good Luck!

Blessings,

Julie

All Just A Lie?

LaShunda from Jayess, MS, wrote:

“I have been involved with a guy for over 2 years now. Three weeks ago he called things off saying he was never really in love with me and he no longer wanted to pursue a relationship with me. In the midst of the argument, he insisted that his feelings for me were real, I still mean the world to him, and told me that he wasn’t dating anyone else. This left me confused. I would like to know if he’s afraid of his real love for me or was it all just one big lie?”

Hi LaShunda,

I believe it was, in your words, just one big lie. 

I also believe it’s in your best interest to avoid this guy.

Wish him well, and focus on what you want in a man. Then, be open to what and whom appears.

You deserve someone who will love and cherish you.

Hope your heart heals fast!

Blessings,

Julie
