The path I walk today is one of remembrance—a journey of returning to the truth of who I am. It is the dance of light and shadow, woven together to create a whole and beautiful picture. This path was not always clear, nor was it easy, but it has been the unfolding of a deeper truth that now resides in my bones: Healing is possible. Transformation is not a distant hope, but a living, breathing reality that emerges from within us when we awaken to our fullest selves.
As a child, I carried the weight of unspoken wounds—experiences hidden even from those closest to me. These burdens led me to believe I was broken, unlovable, incapable. They manifested as panic, dissociation, depression, addiction, and relationships that mirrored my inner pain. Life brought further trials, including the devastating flood of my home, struggles with PTSD, and the loss of loved ones, leaving me feeling untethered in a world that seemed to lack meaning and direction.
Yet, even in my darkest moments, I began to hear the whispers of something greater. A quiet reminder that I was not alone. That the light was always there, even when I could not see it.
In 2012, a synchronistic event marked the turning point of my life. It was then that my healing truly began. From that moment forward, I began the courageous journey back to myself—recovering from substance dependency, breaking free from the cycles that had kept me bound, and reconnecting with parts of me I thought were lost forever. Modern therapies helped, but a deeper knowing called to me—one that spoke of sacred truths and wisdom that transcended the mind, urging me to heal not only my wounds but my very spirit.
It was not always easy. At times, the path felt overwhelming, and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could go. But each challenge was life inviting me to dive deeper, to uncover more of my truth. When I could go no further, I was guided to a sacred tea ceremony, a doorway leading to a profound spiritual and energetic awakening. This transformation illuminated the interconnectedness of all life and the sacredness within every moment. I realized that life was not separate from the divine, and that everything—every experience, every person—was part of a larger, living web of wisdom and light.
Looking back, I see how every challenge, every painful moment, was a stepping stone toward this understanding. I’ve come to know that healing is not something outside of us—it is something we remember. We awaken to it by reconnecting with the sacredness within ourselves and the world around us.
If you are reading this and feel lost, know this: The light is within you, always. The answers you seek are already present, waiting for you to remember. Healing is not a linear path—it is a journey of remembrance, a reclaiming of the truth of who you are, one breath, one step, one moment at a time.
This work is my soul’s prayer, born from the depths of my own transformation. I have walked through the shadows and learned that every challenge carries the seeds of light within it.
In these times, we are all being called to heal, to awaken, and to reclaim the sacredness of our lives. If you are ready to take that first step, I invite you to join me. Together, we will uncover the gifts waiting to emerge—with love and for the highest good of all.
