Shifts Happen...

Sometimes in the middle of an ordinary life something extra-ordinary happens. That "extra" thing that happens is a "life shift," a pivotal moment that can forever change you and shake you to the core. I know because it happened to me, and at that moment, the pivotal time when everything changed, I truly wondered if I would survive it. ​ Well, the truth of the matter is, I didn't quite make it through it . At least not the same me that I have known for fifty years. No, my old self crumbled and the new me emerged under the devastating, sudden and unexpected passing of my boyfriend Sam. This is where the journey into my soul began.

​For the first time in my life I fell into unbearable grief. The kind of grief that transforms you, or as I like to put it, “reveals” you. As the grief grew deeper and deeper so did my infinite love for him. I had never experienced such pain or such a deep yearning for someone like this in my life. I had to unravel the mystery as to why I would go into such profound grief for a man I had only dated for a day? In my quest to uncover the answers my heart desperately needed I found out who I was as well.

You see, grief makes one go within so that we can live the life God/Source/Divine intended us to live. There was no room for negativity in my life and gratitude took center stage.  I started the painstaking journey into my soul to emotionally declutter what no longer served me. I began by shining a light in the darkest corners of my soul where I had hid resentments, anger, guilt and fear. I needed to forgive those I thought had did wrong by me and I also had to forgive myself to make room for peace and joy to enter so love could prevail. I knew I had to love myself first to love others freely, unconditionally and without judgment. I finally had the courage to become the author of my own life without any conforming, restraints or fears I had allowed to rob me of fully living, loving and experiencing the present moment...
