Pausing to Take a moment to reflect on my spiritual journey. The funny thing is five years ago I had no idea that I was embarking on a spiritual journey. All I knew at that time was I couldn’t bear to live my life any longer. This is often referred to as the dark night of the soul. As I looked into the mirror a mere hollow shadow of myself starred back. I had no idea who I was. I had only a faint memory of my fun-loving intuitive gypsy spirit who onced approached life with an open heart. I had completely lost my identity and connection with my soul by adapting to please others and fulfill society’s expectations of me. It happened so gradually that I didn’t realize it until one day my true essence was gone.

But that memory was enough to stir something deep within me. My submissive habit and desire to make others happy almost destroyed me. No, I take that back. My submissive habit was the catalyst that finally liberated me from decades of captivity. As I slowly reconciled my inner world with my outer world I discovered me, in fact, more of me than I’ve ever imagined. Today, my heart overflows with love and gratitude as I explore deeper into the mystery of life. I freely live an authentic spirit-driven life. I embrace all of me, my shadow, and my light. With my inner world and outer world reconnected I am beginning to understand the magnitude of who i am, of who we are.
