My Enchanted Alchemy & Me Story

I'm fascinated with the laws of the universe and exploring what my life's purpose is. When I was quite young, someone gave me a book about brain power. The point of the book being that we don't fully utilize all that is available to us. It was my first glimpse into the metaphysical and how to tap into additional powers we possess. The particularly captivating argument - that we utilize only about TEN PERCENT of the personal powers we possess was all it took for me to be hooked, if there is more available to me than I want it, I remember thinking. What a journey this has been … in this life-long quest, one of my sweetest and greatest realizations is that I have the ability to create the life of my dreams. I alone hold all the cards to make anything and everything happen in my life. I've learned that we were born knowing that we have the power but as we get older, we lose our youthful innocence and playfulness and let the chaos and outside noise of our day to day lives get louder and more demanding, eventually stomping out our imaginative spirit. And then, we begin to conform and forget. I know about the 'conforming' and 'forgetting' part, first-hand …

For most of my years here on earth, these unquenchable explorations into the mystic were all a big secret I didn’t share with anyone.  As I embarked on grown-upness, the young up-and-comer Me sensed the importance of fitting in – I picked up on very distinct non verbal messages all around me to go with the flow and don’t be different.  Ugh,  such a prime example of giving your power away or squandering it!!  Whether my fear of judgement was imagined or not, it makes me sad to look back, knowing I had the ability to make things so much easier for myself but allowed the influence of others and the worry for what they might think to dictate and override my desires.

Tromping right in to Corporate ‘grown up’ world, I started at the bottom, working my tail off and advanced pretty swiftly. All this experience gained me a great deal of “success” so I stayed with it, climbing that corporate ladder as fast as my little legs could carry me. Every once in a while, I’d allow a sliver of desire for something else to surface – wanting out. But I’d get pulled back into and consumed with the frenzy so the desire would get snuffed.  The work was tough, the hours grueling and the competition was fierce!   I developed quite the warrior shell to get through the chaos but the daily battles took their toll.  Stressed and afraid most of the time, I allowed the anxiety to rule everything which turned into living a life of reaction.  There was just no time to think about anything else, let alone develop my spiritual self (or so I thought at the time).  As anyone climbing that ladder of success will attest, you spend far too much time looking over your shoulder and defending your position, just trying to stay afloat.  I continued to grind and the years just flew by. 

A personal incident changed everything, forcing me to take a hard look at my life.  Under the bright light of self-scrutiny, I saw that my life was not being lived intentionally or serving me in any meaningful way, (living by the standards and rules of others rarely does satisfy, by the way).   It was almost like hearing a vehicle come to a screeching halt – I saw that I was only living to serve and please others.  What an eye-opener to realize I didn’t have a clue as to what made ME happy – trying to be a good girl and marching to the rules and demands of others. Honestly, I could not take one more step in the direction I’d been going! I remember saying out loud;  “OK, you’ve got my attention, Universe, I’m listening”. A very clear message was given; I needed to step off the corporate ride completely – just STOP.  So I did.

As I moved into the rest of my life, living more purposefully, I reacquainted myself to all the beautiful beliefs of my younger years about my personal powers of manifestation and began to let my life breathe.  Having given almost 40 yrs to the corporate life, I’d become a clock watcher and obsessively checked messages every 5 minutes so to just let go was quite a challenge at first.  Things did begin to relax though and I finally began developing small businesses that I’d always wanted to start and ever so slowly, allowed the ‘artist’ I’d kept tucked deep inside of me out to play.  I can’t even explain how exhilarating the feeling was to be openly embracing and acting on these passions I’d secretly held so close to my heart all these years. 

It was at this time a thought began to form inside my head – there might be a way I could help others who were caught up in the daily grind doing work that did not satisfy or speak to their passions.  I got excited imagining my new work would be to create inspiring and motivating art to reach out to those who might not know about the personal powers they possess or how to manifest their desires.  At the very least, I would create reminders I wished I’d had to take control of my life and put my happiness first!  And so, that is when An Enchanted Alchemy was born!

Having seen first-hand how easy it is to get caught up in the daily grind has helped me redefine my new life’s work.   My purpose, whether it be to reignite your passion, spark joy & happiness in you or just to encourage you to take that which is rightfully yours and not be intimidated or ashamed to do so is why I have created An Enchanted Alchemy  …  to help you remember what you used to know – what you were born knowing.   It is my fervent desire that my art inspire and motivate those experiencing confusion, chaos and empty progression in their lives.  I know what it feels like to lose hope and become overwhelmed.

An Enchanted Alchemy is just one more way I’ve proved to myself that whatever you desire, you can have. Even the name I chose for my business was some sweet serendipity … ENCHANTED means “to delight to a high degree, imparting a magic quality to” and ALCHEMY means “a magical transformation of a substance of little value into a substance of great value” The name just came to me without knowing what each of the words really meant.  That makes me happy.  I no longer worry about the small stuff, I am an artist because I create.  You are an artist, too – allow yourself to be and create something fabulous!   I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to do – every day.  I made this life for myself … how magical is that?
