Once upon a time I moved to Los Angeles to be an actress. 
A friend asked me,
"If you weren't pursuing acting, what else would you want to be? " 
My (immediate, as if it was a thing) answer:
"A traveling philosopher."
◇
Years later, while working as an actress and venting to a friend 
about how unfulfilled I felt ​in my chosen career, she asked, 
"Well, what do you REALLY want to do? "
My (surprising at the time) answer:
"I want to inspire people. I want to wake them up and remind them of who they really are."
◇
A couple of spiritually expansive years after that, a first date inquired,
"What do you spend most of your time doing?"
My (totally honest) answer:
"Going on long walks and taking photos of flowers. Drawing flowers."
◇
In recent times, when a new acquaintance asks the inevitable,
"So what do you do? "
My (super excited to answer) answer:
"I'm an intuitive." 
"A what? "
"A spiritual coach who reads and perceives energy. I help people find clarity. 
I reconnect them to their own higher knowing and co-creative power.
I help them make positive changes in their lives."
"Oh. Cool."
