Growing up in my mountain town we had these powerful winds that blew through called Mono Winds. They’d take out the weaker trees, discover which roofs needed new shingles and blow people around as they tried to do just about anything. They could be disruptive and dangerous.
I loved to lay in bed and listen to their rumbling and screaming through the oak and pine trees outside my window, branches scratching at the glass. Their eerie sounds were somehow soothing. It was just nature doing what nature did.
The simplicity of those moments came back to me as I fell asleep to the sound of wind outside my window last night. A different landscape produces different sounds: a city-scape now instead of a forest and a rolling hills country instead of mountains. But still, nature did what nature does, and I just got to listen.
We aren’t in charge of everything. Wind will do what it needs to do, and we don’t have to do anything except bear witness. A reminder, we simply coexist.
Jennifer Murphy Life Coach
I am a certified personal and executive coach ruthlessly focused on helping people live awesome lives. I spent a large chunk of my life pursuing other people’s ideas of success and while those experiences were sublime in some cases, they weren’t the “more” I was seeking and I just never felt full. In 2011, I made the commitment to live life on my terms and everything changed. The life I love today was created and I am here to share and teach you exactly how to do the same for yourself.
I am founder of No Limits Life Empowerment Institute as well as a working glass artist, Reiki Master, Partner in Shaman Grocer in Iowa City, and Co-founder of the Midwest Reiki Festival. My favorite time is spent doing anything soccer related with my aspiring world cup soccer player, 10-year-old Alexander. I am also a pretty big fan of gaming (PS4) with my partner Craig while solving the world’s social problems. Learn more at http://www.nolimitslife.guru
