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.
Making Your Way
I woke up with a song in my head. In the real world this seems perfectly normal, right? Surely you heard it in the car, while shopping for groceries, or at your favorite restaurant yesterday. Not me. I generally don't listen to music in the car or at home. And as a matter of fact, during the pandemic when I wasn't going out anywhere I still would occasionally wake up with a song in my head. I always look up the lyrics because I know there is a message in there for me.
Yesterday I was hanging with River full time, but Friday's car ride I was listening to YouTube. I love YouTube. It's like this magical machine that pops out messages just for you from the universe. I find when it's auto populating what I should listen to next, it is always super spot on!
A Journey Begins
Yesterday I began a journey! It all started with this idea I had when I became unemployed in February of 2020. I had the time and resources to make a grand road trip to visit family and friends, but COVID quickly took the wind out of my sails…or gas out of the tank as the case may be. My car remained parked for a good portion of 2020 while I waited out the pandemic in Illinois.
In June 2021, I was puzzling at the folks' house in Trempealeau, WI and listening to a facebook live about manifesting during the new moon. My intention was to manifest Direction. I often feel open to the possibilities, but perhaps not as confident in choosing what I really want. I usually get into this super zen state while puzzling. Tuned in, tapped in, turned on. And this thought dropped in.... "It's time to do the road trip."
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.
