Long story short, I’ve been putting this off.
The world is calling for me to start sharing my voice in a really big way and I thought what better time to birth this new era than on the spring equinox?
If you followed along on my soul journey in 2021, you would know that I’ve been spiritual my whole life, but like most people in my metaphysical shoes, I shut down my gifts. Looking back now, I can see I was built for a world that didn’t yet exist. I felt out of place, alone, longed to go back home, and tried my best to just be “normal.”
I suffered with depression most of my life and although I don’t think back on any one time as being a “spiritual awakening,” I had many on-the-bathroom-floor dark nights of the soul. The thing that continued to get me through the most challenging times in my life was this deep knowing that I was here for a reason.
Awakening
What does that even mean? Awakening seems to be a hot topic lately and there is a reason for that. At its root, awakening is used to describe the moment you “wake up” to an awareness that is much bigger than you previously could have imagined. So, while there is more awakening happening at this time than ever before in our lifetime, it’s not new and… surprise, surprise, it’s not ending any time soon. As long as you’re playing this game called life, your experiences will push you to awaken more fully.
I’ve said before that I never really felt like I had an “ah ha” awakening moment. I’ve always been a seeker of new knowledge, so I’ve had a lifetime of gentle awakenings as each new piece of information stretched what I already believed to be true and seamlessly integrated into my understanding of what is true over time.
