View Full Version : Too much too fast? :yikess:

Wasn't sure where to post this:

I don't know what's happening right now but I think either my Goddess isn't paying close attention or she's really pouring it on me and exceeding my capacity and I can't imagine her doing that on purpose.
I just got another call from the radio station and the host of the morning program I had told you lot about before, just informed me that she had a meeting with the director and said he has given card blanc and is excited to have someone in the community like me whom shares the passion. Now she is talking to me about the possibility of me becoming a co-host/host down the road! My concern is that the way she was talking it sounded like a short road. Yikes! I'm not ready to entertain that idea yet, I haven't even started the assistant programmer position yet.
I haven't even had day number one yet! It sounds like I may be starting around April 8th. We'll see. She kind of scared me, but I think I made her aware that while I am very excited and looking forward to the work and all, I want to start small and go slow and see where things go. :yikess:
She also told me that she would like me to come on a little day cruise they do once a month. (Everything is gratis of course). I'm not sure if I get seasick or not so if I do it I guess I will just take some medication just in case.

On top of all this the circle I "rejoined" after 4 years......the HPS and HP know how I am against having any type of leadership role in any capacity, (I just don't have it in me DNA. More still, I don't like it). They tried to trick me last week. The HP has given me a circle-casting and invocation to Isis he wrote that he uses all the time outside of circle and has asked me to look it over to see if I get any ideas for me own and what not. I thought he was just being nice/supportive...I mean he is and we are both Isis nuts. Now I find out that the reason behind it is that he and the HPS (who is a friend of mine as well) are trying to get me to consider to co-facilitate when they want to call in Isis or any Egyptian deity. (I'm not even Wiccan) This makes no sense to me in that my friend is perfectly capable of doing so and has done so successfully. I'm so not ready or willing to do that. I'm also being asked of I would like to put together the music for rituals. Now that I can handle because it keeps me out of the public stuff. (Nobody has to know whom provided the music).
I was invited (1 billion times over 4 years) to come to circle and finally showed up at Imbolc. I don't do well in public and they know it. I used to do ok, but now days it's very hard on me. It's only by the grace of me Goddess and the efforts of me HPS friend that have been allowing me to come to circles.
Even on top of that, I'm being tricked into leading drum circle every month. Why do I have to be the one who starts? There are 3 others that are perfectly suited to do that and one of them is very good, way better than me. (In spite of the fact that these people think I'm good too). Besides I play through trance. I never when or what will be coming through when I sit down to play. It just happens, I'm just the vessel. I play with me eyes closed 99% of the time. (People think it's something that I can be so precise with getting different tones and stuff without looking. While I'm of the opinion that anyone can do that). :geez: It's not piano or guitar people.

Ever since Imbolc my life has been crazy! Yes, nothing but good and exciting things, but it's too much too fast to me! Arrgh! It feels like it's starting to spin out of control. I know my Goddess knows what she's doing, but I wonder if there is a disconnect somewhere. I don't know that I can handle all this stuff. It feels like it's too much. To add insult to injury so to speak, all this stuff are "firsts" for me. Even though it's all good (that is...I think it is), I'm not sure how to deal with it all._inabox_
I don't want to wait until it's too late, but I think I will see how things pan out a little more and then I will have speaks with Isis about it all if I'm even the slightest bit overwhelmed.

I send calming energies as well but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It sounds like many amazing and wonderful opportunites are at your door and I hope that they continue but at a slower pace so that you are not so overwhelmed. Although I am sorry that some of them seem to be coming in a rather sneaky manner. Just take a deep breath, make a list of all of it and figure out which ones you feel most comfortable with and let the others know where you draw the line. They should respect your boundaries.

Take care and best wishes!!!

Heart of IsisHow, exactly, are people tricking you into leading a drum circle and tricking you into giving your opinion?

I obviously do not know the HP and HPS you mention but a thought came to mind while reading what has been going on.

Have you entertained the idea that perhaps they are "throwing you out there" so to speak to try and get you comfortable with doing rituals and what not? Maybe they have so much faith in your capability of doing them that they're gradually trying to work you into it, doing little things here and there so maybe you will say "Hey, if I did this...I can do that."

I don't know, just a thought.

Oh, it's all good-natured mind you. Sometimes I think they are just trying to get a rise out of me. For instance, sometimes my HPS friend will put me on the spot in a gentle way. She says she has learned that it's sometimes the only way to get me to move or show some sign that I'm still breathing. For one thing, I am not used to being asked my opinion and it always shocks me when that happens. Also it's just that I do not like to be in any position of any type of leadership at any level even if only temporary. It goes against me nature. It's not the responsibilities that scare me or anything like that. I have loads of responsibility already. It's just the whole title or something. It's the whole public thing. Plus the fact that I still have issues with me empathic condition (highly sensitive) just doesn't make for one with good leadership qualities. Add that to the fact that I can't think of many other things I would rather not do. I guess it's their way of trying to help me grow or wish me well. However, I must do things at me own pace and style. Fortunately, much of the time they grant me plenty of room. They know I am only around temporarily and will disappear again just don't know when exactly, but I have the feeling it will be long before the year is up. Don't know how long I'll be gone either. This past recent time it was 4 years. Perhaps they are having a bit of trouble with knowing that.

Remember? Steps just steps. Take them slowly. But take them.

Yes, you can bank that I will. Thankfully, I think I have made that point clear with those involved that I want to go slow and see how things are going to flow so that I am not overwhelmed. When I get overwhelmed I shut down completely and walk away, sometimes forever. The three main people in this aspect of me life are aware of that. They are just trying to push me a little to make sure I don't choose to blow it all off. I sense they are trying to do their best to be careful though at the same time. I tend to disappear without warning or notice and they know this.
All is well in this regard right now. I'm just trying to figure out why this is happening to me? Right now Isis is giving me very vague responses when I ask and she turns around and increases the process. So I am learning to wait and not to try to ask her about it right now so much.
