Coming Full Circle: Healing Classes Offered at Deborah Ann's Rainbowby Deborah Ann HagenMany years ago, I worked as a nurse. I was a great nurse, always well liked, good at what I did, very kind and very efficient. Unfortunately, I was too good and I burnt myself out. I didn't take care of myself. I had no boundaries and couldn't say no to anyone. I literally worked until it pushed me into therapy. Once in treatment, I learned that the lack of boundaries and self-care were good reasons not to continue being a nurse. During the worst part of my therapy, I was unable to take care of anyone, including myself. Three or four years passed. I learned that it was okay to say no. That no one was perfect. That taking care of myself was a priority, and that I didn't have to be a nurse any longer if I didn't want to. However, after thirty years of being a nurse, what would I do? Many ideas bounced around my head. One day, I read an ad in the newspaper saying, "Open Your Own Gift Shop This Weekend." I found out the location of the shop and looked in the window. I felt the energy that was here. The idea for my shop flowed immediately out of my pen. Without any background in retail, I opened the shop. |

She was known as the goddess of women and marriage. Unabashed feminine energy, the Goddess of Spring and women and marriage! Wow! So much feminine energy pouring in just at the time when we need it!
