Whether you call them epiphanies, hitting rock bottom or great awakenings, our detours, however painful, give our lives their character. Sometimes wrong turns can be great adventures, giving us clarity and new ideas. Often, they give us opportunity to shed our skins and begin anew, a surprising benefit freshwater has on beluga whales, experts say. Occasionally, they take us to places more incredible than our wildest dreams, just by "accident."

So, I say to Beluga, whatever your reason for being here, be it a personal adventure, wrong turn, or perhaps even a blessing to those like me who needed to look at their surroundings a bit differently—-follow your soul home, my friend.

May you be safe, well, and enriched somehow by being one of few—if not only—of your kind to have ever traveled these waters.

Understand you came to this earth with purpose to discover your true identity and that experiences you have had so far have been pre-sent to help you discover that. Remember times when you’ve been told you can’t do something because of education, religious or parenting boundaries. Remember things you did that made your heart sing. Remember that these things hold key to your self-discovery and your true desire and purpose. Maybe you know immediately what your gift is, maybe you don’t have a clue… which ever, read on.

Whether you’re immediately aware of your true talent or not, I know you get sense that you are here for a purpose. And I know you will also understand that when you use that gift for greater good you will feel happier, more fulfilled and more greatly rewarded than ever before. Living your life purpose you’ll want to get up earlier, stay up later and you’ll lose all track of time. You will literally move into timeless awareness, so absorbed and excited by what you create. And one more thing.

The rewards you get can be limitless.
