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.
Timing
Things are always working out for me. Sometime you don't think things are going your way, but so many times if you hang in there, you will find that things really were working out for you all along. My last day in Pikeville was a great reminder of this.
I got up a little earlier this day and got ready for the day. I enjoyed my cup of coffee with Tillie by my side and was ready to head out into the world by mid-morning. I had a list of errands I was going to take care of for my Aunt and was planning to meet her at 12:30 for lunch.
Just Float
With only a few days in Pikeville, KY I needed to make the most of my time there. I started out with serious snuggles from my aunt’s dog, Tillie. Followed up by cards with aunt Debbie. I even planned to make the Pampered Chef Chili Lime Pork recipe. But in between all that? Floating in the pool of course.
After a long drive from Manitowoc to Pikeville, I took the opportunity to sleep in a little later. I started my first full day there with a cup of Cold Brew Coffee I had prepared upon my arrival, enjoyed on the patio, with Tillie on my lap. The faint song of the the wind chime on the breeze and the gurgling of the pool put me right into relaxation mode.
Let’s Get Acquainted
I have always considered myself spiritual although from a young age I shied away from organized religion. As a young teen I read all the books I could find on metaphysical subjects, but had a habit of accidentally calling in some experiences that frightened me at the time. I solved this by shutting that aspect of myself down. It helped me feel more "normal" in the physical world I was living in.
