Over the past six years, I’ve been on a profound quest to find myself and break free from the invisible chains that held me back. I wanted to let go of the emotional walls I had built, which made me feel disconnected and detached from my true self.
This path hasn’t been a straight line. It involved a divorce, the end of a significant relationship, career changes, business closure, bankruptcy, and the devastating loss of my mother. Each of these experiences was challenging, but they taught me valuable lessons about myself and my place in the world.
These trials pushed me to let go of my attachments and develop a deeper spiritual grounding. During those difficult periods, my spiritual practice became my solace. I longed for inner peace, but I didn’t think it was possible because I felt separate from everything. I always felt different and alone.
To find liberation, I turned to meditation to connect with my higher self. Through this practice, I received guidance from my higher self and spirit guides, which proved more reliable than relying on my rational mind. As a result, I began to feel unity with the people and the world around me. Beauty was everywhere – in a mother’s laughter, a bird’s flight, the warmth of the sun, the vastness of the ocean, or lovers holding hands.
Even acts of kindness from strangers, which I once overlooked, now stood out. Gratitude started flowing abundantly in my life. I was thankful for every breath, the love that surrounded me, the nourishment I received, and even the simple things my imagination conjured. This shift in perspective transformed my life, filling it with unshakeable joy that comes from within. Love became limitless, and the connections I made were deep and profound.
I often questioned why I had to go through such hardships, some of which I brought upon myself. But now, I realize that without those experiences, I would never have discovered the love, joy, and compassion that reside within my heart. Looking back, I am profoundly grateful for my journey.
Step by step, this journey led me to a fulfilling career surrounded by amazing friends in California – a dream I thought was out of reach due to the high taxes. But I refused to let scarcity mentality and negative thoughts control me. Instead, I followed my inner guidance, which told me that this was where I needed to be to create the life I truly desired.
Now, as I stand before the world, I am the creator of my own destiny. I manifest my dreams with unwavering determination. My life is a testament to the power of gratitude and spiritual growth. At fifty-four years old, I can confidently say that I am in love with my life and the person I have become.
