<p>Understanding your purpose is less like a burning bush—where your purpose arrives fully formed, like a flaming message from the Big Guy himself—and more like creating a <em>M</em><em>osaic</em>.</p>



<p><strong>When you’re creating your life purpose Mosaic, you’re keeping your eye out for the beautiful pieces.</strong> You know which pieces fit because they have that certain “ping.” Even if you’re not sure why, say, esoteric tracts on the alchemical nature of composting toilets are calling to you, you trust that each bit that “pings” for you matters, and you pop them into your metaphorical Mosaic.</p>



<p>If you can resist the urge to quickly define your bits and bobs into a concept/career/calling that already exists, you can <strong>create something richer, something deeper, something that’s uniquely you.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Your Mosaic.</strong></p>



<p>Through the Mosaic-making process, you come to know who you are and you become a careful student of what lights you up. Then, there’s the moment where it all comes into focus…</p>



<p>Your mosaic lights up. You see the larger picture.</p>



<p><em>Ping.</em></p>



<p>That’s how The Mosaic works. When it comes together, it feels like magic. <strong>Practical magic.</strong> You learn about who you are, you give yourself time to gather the bits for your Mosaic and you resist the urge to define what IT is too soon.</p>



<p>Using the framework of The Mosaic can accelerate and clarify what often feels like a random and confusing process. The Mosaic describes <strong>our natural, human process of selecting what matters to us</strong> and moving away from (or being rejected by) what doesn’t.</p>



<p><strong>By bringing our conscious understanding to what’s happening, it allows us to put the pieces together in ways we couldn’t have imagined.</strong> And, I don’t know about you, but knowing that I’m putting the pieces together in a way that WILL add up, makes me feel a whole lot calmer.</p>



<p>The Mosaic purpose-finding process shifts you from waiting for your real life to begin to feeling on purpose, right now.</p>

<p>What does community have to do with one’s purpose? </p>



<p>Everything. </p>



<p>When we gather together in a loving, supportive community—to paraphrase Parker Palmer—the soul feels safe to emerge. </p>



<p><strong>Encoded within your tender soul is your purpose. </strong><br>It peeks out in our unguarded moments, to drop us another few clues to pursue. In community, we can be witnessed, loved, and supported as we risk being what we&#8217;re meant to be. </p>



<p>That’s the spiritual reason why we need each other as we explore our purpose, there are also practical considerations.</p>



<p>Having a community helps you sort out all that stuff rattling around in your brain: <br>Is this crazy, or a good idea? (Or a crazygood idea. Hehe.)<br>How do I move forward? <br>I’m scared&#8211;can you be there for me? <br>Will you celebrate who I am, and am becoming?<br>Can you help me see what I cannot yet see in me? </p>



<p>Also, hugs. We need hugs. </p>



<p>If you&#8217;re looking for your people that will love and support you on the journey, why don&#8217;t you join the <a href="https://mailchi.mp/d32483ef1170/playingwiththefieldconfab">Confab</a> this Thursday, 2/6? </p>
