Well, what's stopping you, then?

During the Reiki 3 training a few weeks ago, a group of us were talking about what year we had become nurses.
I said, "I had only planned on being a nurse for 10 years, but here I am, just finishing my 11th year.
One woman asked me,"What would you do instead?"
I answered, sort of flipply,"I'd be a fairy witch writer, living in the woods."
After I blurted it out; the conversation moved on.
Hours later, I was lying on the massage table, the same woman stood above me; about to begin a treatment on me. She mentioned something about me wanting to be a "Fairly rich writer living in the woods."
"No no," I protested. "You heard me wrong! I want to be a fairy witch writer living in the woods."
She stopped, puzzled; then mumbled "Well, that's much more interesting." and then looked down at me; a bit sternly and said, "Well, what's stopping you, then!?"



I had a wonderful relaxing treatment from her hands, all the while pondering her question.
Something about her attitude made me think. "Yeah, really, what's so hard about that? Get on with it?"
