We had been out playing and hiking on the land. We all stood on the landing and the boys were playing while my father, brother and I spoke. We were talking about life paths and staying true to them. We were talking about the collective awakening to spirituality and all of the life changing benefits. We were talking about happiness and simplicity. We were talking about life.

My oldest son came and asked if I had a pendulum, he wanted to look for another bullet. The boys had found one and they wanted to find more. I told him that a pendulum always sits in my car in the small box where most people put keys and change. He nodded and went to find it. I had taught all three of my boys to use pendulums. Dowsing runs like a vein through our family, almost like a right of passage.

We went back to speaking about the elements and working with them. Teaching has always been a core part of my being and in the past 3 years it had become clear to me that I wanted to teach about spirituality and how to embrace it. If I am being completely honest, I want to teach people how to find happiness, and my personal truth is that getting right with who you are and what you want out of life are huge steps to happiness. It is hard to be out of alignment with who and what you are and be happy. Happiness comes from different places for everyone, this isn’t cookie cutting, it is life and it looks different for everyone. I want to help people find their own path to happiness and give them tool to help with their own spiritual awakening.

My oldest had been using the pendulum and voiced that he was frustrated that he found 2 bullets and now the pendulum was lying to him. I asked what he meant. He said that the pendulum told him that there was a bullet right “here” but he didn’t see it. I walked over and about 6 inches from where he was standing I found the bullet tucked under some bark. I picked it up, smiled and handed it to him. It was a beautiful reminder for him to believe in himself. It was a beautiful reminder for me that sometimes people need things pointed out for them even if they are looking right at them.
