Dear Friends,
I’ve become a firm believer in the Buddhist proverb “When
the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
This afternoon, while browsing in a bookstore, my eyes fell on Caroline Myss’ latest book, Archetypes: who are you? Since I had read about it in her interview with Oprah, I felt compelled to walk over and honour our acquaintanceship!

Although I was more attracted to the words Queen/Executive on the cover,
the word Rebel, in red print, kept winking at me! So, I bought the book - my
second self-help book in less than a month!
No one can accuse me of taking my enlightenment lightly!
I skimmed through the major characteristics and behaviour
patterns of each archetype, chanting "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who am I, after all?"
Laughed out loud at the Athlete! Skipped The Advocate. Didn’t fit the profile of The Fashionista, The Spiritual Seeker or The Visionary. Deliberated on The Caregiver, but then discarded it as ‘have been.’ Regretfully, had to give up The Artist/Creative prototype - too many references to playing a musical instrument. The Intellectual could've been a possibility; however not enough emphasis on middle-aged discoing! For a vulnerable, stripped teacher, devoured by Bill 115, The Queen/Executive archetype proved to be very big shoes to fill.
Finally, I stopped teasing myself and allowed Chapter Ten to carry me away!
I wish Miss Myss had thought of combining Rebel with Entertainer - that would've fit me perfectly, like an Italian leather, Armani glove!
However, Rebel sounds about right. Accepted and filed! What have you accepted and filed today?
