Lets’ start with where I have been…
I was born in Chicago, IL on November 8, 1988 to two pretty amazing souls. I was given a life filled with opportunities. I was fortunate to have two parents who loved me the best they could with the knowledge and the resources that they had. Although nothing was perfect, and I had my moments of resentment, I was given a lot of space to explore, take risks and have a place to land when things really went south (which you will learn was often because impulsively is a trait I am not so proud to own).
This smiling face would eventually get married at 22, get divorced by 26, have a string of unhealthy relationships, friendships, and situationships before she was 28 which would lead to the spiritual breakdown that cracked her open for good. Thank Spirit for that!
Where I am today….
My spiritual awakening has been a series of beautiful and difficult moments. Like I mentioned, 28 was a big year for me. After reaching my own “rock bottom” moment, I began making changes to my lifestyle. It began with therapy, exploring various meditation modalities, yoga and finally building a healthy friendship community. There was also A LOT of crying. Not sorry.
Today, I’m more myself than I have ever been, but it has taken many deconstruction moments to get there, and I am still peeling back layers of conditioning. While I don’t have a career, I know that I am called to be a part of the healing community.
One way I heal is through writing. I have learned that telling my story over and over again frees me and allows me to gain fresh perspective.
My current adventure is finding my voice and figuring out my path, so I can leave this world better than how I found. Simple, right?
Where I am going…
Literally NO ONE KNOWS.
What I do know, is there is a rainbow at the end.
Hopefully a pot of gold.
But in all seriousness, this road is untraveled, unpaved and will come with plenty of twists and turns.
What I do know is it’s a path of authenticity, self-love, creation and freedom.
