Hi Gwen!

Spiritual Journey to Unconditional Love

​

On November 7, 2017 it will be exactly 11 months since my dark journey began.  At that time my soul was broken, incredible sadness and loss at the destruction of my marriage.  What began with blame and finger pointing, turned to shame and guilt, then deep sadness at the things I could not change about myself.  Transmuted to attempts to tear down walls I had built for protection.  All of this in an effort to understand the greatest gift of all, unconditional love.  Every step of this process involved the discovery of a new talent to be exercised for my betterment.  I feel the need to share my journey with others, so that when YOU meet loss, you too will have a place to start.  In laymen’s terms – what does it look like to remove your ego, how do you recognize the mirror, what really is that still small voice you hear, and how do you listen to it. 

 

Keep forever in your mind, that I know absolutely nothing, other than what I have gone through.  I am not an expert, I fall down, fail in my attempts, am inconsistent, and make mistakes like the rest of us.  I hope that this can be a place for others to come and share their thoughts on their healing journey.  I am open to discussion on other options and ways to heal (I love learning).  I will not tolerate bashing, I will not be vilified for my thoughts and beliefs, nor do I allow others to experience the same within this framework.  Nor will I hold your hands, your journey is after all your journey in life.  What I have to offer may not be for you, however you will have to do the work required to heal yourself if you wish to heal.

Your Journey Begins!

Every day is a journey. No matter what stage you are at in life be it infant; child; teen; adult; parent; and elderly you wake and begin the day. Some of us have good days while others have bad days. There are those who stay stuck, unable to move forward, and those who seem to flow in life easily. I always wondered why there was such a difference in people. Having myself experienced the rather darker side of things most of my life I can clearly state I was totally in EGO, but that is a story for a different day. It is a question of how we look at our journey that makes the difference. After this last year, I realize how much a gift living this life really is.

From the minute you are born to the day you die, you travel along the path of life. The older we get the more we become conscious of the journey. It is as if there is a ticking time bomb that gets louder the older we get. It is as if something within says, “What did we contribute to life,” “What will we leave behind,” “How did we live,” or “How did we love?” When you boil it all down, were we authentic to ourselves. Taking that look at myself, the answer to those questions, and the biggest one of all… is HELL NO. In the Hero’s Journey, I received the call to build myself a new life in the authentic real me, met the supernatural aid that removed me from my comfort zone, and am beginning to look at the basics. So, what do you need to know about the basics?


Look at these questions in yourself:

  • What is your current situation?

  • How do you feel about the current situation?

  • What is it that you wish to change?

  • Write down what your Needs, Wants, and Desires are right now.

  • What do you really need to begin building whatever it is you desire?





It truly is a hero’s journey, no matter how you slice and dice your knowing. Grasp the opportunity to change for the better, with excitement.
