Cheers to 8 years as a mental health therapist in private practice! I am so happy to be here! The number eight is a symbol for energetic vibration of personal power, determination, material gain, the pinnacle, recognition of work, lifestyle upgrades, rebirth, and transformation.
I know that I am supposed to be here. I started with nothing but my faith. I have worked so hard over the years. I am grateful that I have finally reached a place where I can see the rewards for my work. This is my God given passion. Even so, it is a lot of sacrifice. To show up for others throughout the years, seasons, and trials in your own life – This is not for the weak. So, I am proud. Proud that I have made it here and that I still enjoy this work.
People often want a quick route to success, but I don’t believe there is one. Instant success, yes. But lasting success takes time to develop. The fruit comes later… but it is sweeter. In the meantime, there is a whole lot of building. Falling on the ground and having the courage to get back up again.
Find what God has for you. That is where your success will be. It is the thing that you would do for free. I believe that there isn’t one path to success. Success can be a stay-at-home parent raising good little humans, the CEO of a company or a small business owner. It really doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you are fulfilled in your life. Do not let anyone tell you what that should be. Only you know what that looks like.
I encourage you to start building somewhere. Where I am now, took years and years in the making. Plant the seeds and one day, you too will watch them grow. Trust me, it is a good feeling!
I am thankful to God for continuing to carry me as I do this work. It does not have an off button. It is a daily decision. A constant reminder. An inner pull. It is one of the most challenging and rewarding things that I have ever done.
Thank you all for allowing me into your lives. Your stories live in my heart. I love being able to see you grow. It is a feeling that I cannot describe. I am just so appreciative that you have trusted me. I also want to thank my family and my friends who really are family as well. Thank you for taking me away from everything that comes with this. For allowing me to be my inner silly self! I love you all so much.
God, I thank You for changing my entire life. You continue to grow me through my work. Through the people I meet. The places this work takes me. I pray more people allow You to transform their lives as well.
To Eight Years! To God Be The Glory
Erin 💛
