I am so gracious and inspired by the natural course my life is beginning to take. My name is Kim Mucci and I experienced an inner voice call to action about five years ago. I didn’t hear exactly what it said, but I just watched and followed the things that would cross my path. I found IIN, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition through my sister and started receiving their e-mail blasts. I knew I wanted to enroll in the program, but I had those all-too-common excuses - time and money. Until one day last summer when I received an e-mail saying that it was school’s last live class. This was my path, calling.
Of course school was wonderful in all the ways I hoped. After every day of class I would leave with a new focus for my new career…lobbying, weight loss, school food programs, fertility and so on. After graduation I started to see a handful of clients, always leaving our sessions with the same feeling of immense satisfaction and gratitude for having come into my calling. I love helping people feel good and happy everyday. That said, I still have bills and obligations that only a fellow New Yorker can comprehend, four clients will not pay a Gramercy rent.
One weekend in September my mother, sister and I went to Kripalu yoga center in the Berkshires and heard Ariane de Bonvoisin, Change Optimist and author of “The First 30 Days” speak. So many things inspired me, but the simplest advice resonated. What we focus on grows. It is so obvious, yet so hard to live by. I left that weekend determined to volunteer my counseling services to people who need it the most. I found the organization You Can Thrive (Integrative Wellness Center for Breast Cancer) and met with founder Luana Halpern the following week. After just two weeks of volunteering, I am elated. Yesterday a client told me I had helped her more than her cancer hospital’s nutritionist and that she was going to recommend me to the chief. Wow, so gratifying! The same week I met Luana a friend asked me to blog for this site, synchronicity at work. The message is clear: If you follow the signs they will take you exactly where you should be going.
And so this is what inspired the theme of this blog, “trust the universe”.
1.Listen to your intuition; It is your strongest sense. Think about this, it is rare that our intuition is wrong if we really listen.
2.Be patient, the hardest thing to do is practice patience. Believe it will happen, even if you’re not sure when.
3.Focus on the positive, it will bring more positivity into your life. The same goes for love and compassion.
4.Love yourself. Really love yourself, the way you want someone to love you.
