Sometimes you find your calling but most times I think it finds you. Often it’s the very thing that frightens us, that one thing that we “could never do”, that we must. My journey has been that I have always wanted things to make sense in a logical, linear way. All the while, I felt pulled to what was abstract, strange, dare I say even magical? Sure, as a kid I got the message I was a bit weird as I overheard the murmurs. Things like “not sure if she knows fact from fiction”and she “just talks way to much”. Well meaning teachers wrote “she has a very vivid imagination” and “has a hard time keeping her hands to herself” and left it at that. I had a burning desire to touch others, to help others, to comfort, and support those I knew to be in pain in a way I couldn’t articulate or openly express but felt in my very core. I figured out it was easier to agree than question and was more accepted to “figure out” than “feel”. So I tried to ignore my intuitive side. I tried hard. I shelved the part that saw light dancing around people or animals and tried to ignore what I knew all along to be truth.
Long path made shorter …and here I find myself pulled back onto this path I tried so hard to ignore. If I were being honest I would say even as I tried to push it away the whispers were always in the wind, but my fear, my lack of faith, my utter mistrust of myself distracted me. So often we deny that little voice. Those soft nudges of synchronicities. We reason out, ignore, or medicate the painful lessons, dis’ eases, and maladies that are there to teach us, to motivate us, and to remind ourselves we are still very much alive. We fear the truth about ourselves. We fear what would happen if we were indeed whole.
Our Greatest Fear
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
So where creativity meets intuition meets inspiration I walk my path.
This is a bit about me and my journey and what I do. It is my goal to bring some understanding and urgency about how important it is to our very health, and our vitality to be in alignment on a path of sacred creativity. Why it is so critical to let our soul sing and what happens when we get off track. How our soul speaks to us through our bodies or life circumstances to keep us on a journey of empowerment. No matter how hard we may try to ignore it.
