This is a place for all broken grieving hearts to come, its my safe haven and I share this with all of you to be your safe haven. I am hoping through my journey of grieving as well as my real life experiences through grieving I can help all through their darkest hours, to ease the pain a little less, to maybe just give an ear to listen because sometimes that's all we need.
I am willing to bare all to each and everyone who comes to this blog. I want no one to be shy of anything. I want anyone to ask question's, tell their stories with pride. No one will judge you, or think you are different. We are all here going through the same thing GRIEVING. This is my safe haven, your safe haven. The place to heal, to find your smile again. Through this all I am on a journey to writing a book as well "The Grieving Path To Joy".
As you go through your life, there are times that go by so fast to never look back to all that you go through on a daily basis. We tend to get caught up in our day to day life that we forgot often too much to stay in the moment for some time. I know I often find myself catching myself doing the same, as it is so easy to get caught up in our daily schedule, worrying if you would be not on time within that schedule.
What is that schedule? How did we get to a point where time truly, deeply defines us and our daily life? Stopping to understand as much as I can that life ain't about constant rushing for no reason, that it's about living, breathing, being in the moment along with enjoying the journey. It is hard, not going to pretend that it is very easy to get caught up in that, as quick as it is to type this sentence, yet to get to the point where you catch that coming on is a great gift to yourself and your life.
Lately life has been a huge reflection for me, to be quite honest it has been a true blessing to have this time to see what I have been missing for a long time now. Through the quiet I have learned so much, with time as nothing but time and not a schedule, I have been able to sit in peace to take courses, to learn more, as well as learn more about myself, to hear the whispers of my hearts passion, the universes love and blessings that reside in me around me, as well as what is to come. Smiling in the wonder how the greatest of gems come from the darkest of times, smiling upon all that have been to the darkest places have become the brightest of lights to so many around them.
Losing half of my heart, life, being, soul, then has had me putting the pieces back together and giving up pieces that no longer serve me, in those losing of pieces I have found new pieces, I have never noticed before to put back together to the new me being created. In the together of the new, you will find your littlest to biggest miracles along the way, it takes practice to be able to take the time to find those pieces along the way, as you pave your new road.
In this world there are open minded people, some not so opened minded along with totally close minded, that is OK, we are all unique and different. However the portion we feel are so close minded are the ones that we are afraid to open up to admit who we really are in fears of judgment. However we do know later on in life that it don't matter what others opinions are, it is our own that only matters.
If not for the dark that I've been through, than the light of who I am would of never appeared to my life. It's that darkness of times I tell you that are truly are our blessings in disguise. If not for the darkest of times I have recently been through I would of never discovered the great gifts in me, that forever would be hidden. The great gifts of passion, purpose that has been there for far too long in darkness. A tad of my being knew deep down but always too afraid back then to say it out loud to knowing of judgment would be had, in the earlier days where I thought others opinions mattered.
Now to this day I know better, still to understand not everyone will accept my gifts and that is OK to. So proud to know of all that guides me to where I should of been all along, Intuitive Empath, to Healing, to Energy Healing, to Counselling, to Grief Coaching, most of all accepting my Intuitive Empath side and no longer being embarrassed to say that out loud and be proud. The gifts that drive me to help, to be proud, to be grateful, to learn more of has never been so enlightening that no words can describe just how much it is.
To be your true authentic self, finding all that in the darkness of times is the greatest of all to me, to know that all your rock bottom moments are the times where a miracle of your life shall appear. In these hardest of times I have used my head space to create space to learn, to add to the gifts I bare, to take courses and earn diplomas, smiling in the darkness while the whole time I was turning on my own light in the dark. It's absolutely breath taking to think the whole time I was thinking my life was being shattered that silently I was taking a leap to embrace what I really wanted to do for far too long now.
Looking up always smiling to give thanks at how surprisingly things feel they are breaking but breaking to reveal the new highest of you. The miracles of once day dreamed coming to life. That learning in those hard, painful times you feel you are falling apart in the end the reveal is that you are falling together to what you always wanted to be. Though never the end of it, that is the break to the best of more to come.
So breathe when you feel it's falling apart because soon you will see the dark fade and your big picture unveiling right in front of your eyes in a quick breath of the biggest of your miracle looking back at you. Smiling the biggest knowing the great has come from that most painful of darkness to understand it has to be part of life to get through to the bigger picture of your miracles shinning bright straight through that pain.
This is all not to say that the struggle is gone, just knowing in that struggle always comes strength and the shattering of not ending but huge beginnings. No words will ever be able to explain what life has been these last six months, yet I would do it all over again, through the pain, darkness and hard times to find what I have found through it as the darkness faded.
I found what was in me, gifted to me, that has been waiting for so long now. To shout out from the highest mountain with gratitude what it is I AM, what I am gifted, what my purposes have been given, to never hide from nor have to hide from ever again. To understand that unknowingly silent in the dark I smiled, that in it all I was taking the leap of faith knowing deep down it shatter to nothing but all pieces that I have ever wanted as well as needed when putting it all back together.
My heart truly is open, it is thankful to my husband passed because behind all this I know he forever has my back, not seen but forever felt.
Fourteen years ago I was blessed by an earth angel my husband passed now still an angel but one I know by name no longer in physical being with wings.
As years passed through out my life I look back to the signs, whispers, and most of all gut instinct feelings to realize then that I always ignored or shrugged off what ever it was that felt or seen or heard as I went on with my day. Not taking time to understand those life callings that soon get loud that no longer you can shrug it off to nothing. I do believe all my life I had this special gift, gifted to me to never notice just how powerful and special it be to this day.
As I walked passed someone I'd get that powerful feeling of that person whether it be sad, stressed what ever it may have been, a house for some reason that gave a feeling to my gut as I glanced in wondering of why, a certain moment in life that felt as though dejavu but knowing now it was pieces of my visions of a puzzle coming to life. Most of all to me is the feelings I pick up from every aspect of life, that to me is a true gift, a gift to know as I look to someone if they need that "hello" as they feel sad or not seen. To know if a person is wanting to speak their truth but feel no one will listen.
To me the greatest gift to bare is to pick up on how people are feeling is a gift to know you are here to pick up on that and empower all that you feel are in need. To let the light shine bright in the darkest of places. The darkest of times people may feel they are in but never to get out of, to let them know they can, they will. I been scared for so long to understand this gift, to bare the truth to others in thoughts others may judge, today though I stand strong that judgment of others does not define my gift given to me by the greater good. To know we are all unique in a very special, loving way to embrace not disgrace.
I do believe that fighting the storms quite often has made me understand that in all that I find myself, strength and love every time I get knocked down but never stay down. Losing my husband gifted me to see beyond what our eyes see, it opened me up to the core of my being to see life as a brand new baby in purest of form. It has been too long to of not accepted truly who I am, as age comes upon me the wisdom of my life unfolds to show me that these gifts are to empower you and those you meet in life, strangers, friends, family all around far and wide. To know it is not something to be embarrassed of yet to embrace, to learn, to share to others to empower their lives as well as special gifts.
Laying in meditation so many times I see just how easy it is to vision but vision with feeling to make that vision your reality. To understand that the only person keeping you from your vision is you as well as the judgment you fear of others. As I journey to soak up the knowledge to the gift I bare it excites me to know that there is so much more out there we have never could of believed if not for the calling of the universe touching our souls until we realize "hey this is it now stop ignoring it and be the powerful being you are meant to be".
It's not about waiting for others to accept the gift you bare, nor waiting for judgment to stop, it is about being you 110% to know the rest don't matter. Now is the times we need to bare our gifts and be proud, to use them to the fullest to show others it is ok and not to be ashamed. Empowerment of others, building others up, finding their gifts to let them know to it is special to their being to use that to the fullest. Do not wait nor hide feel that feel good vibe in your gut when thinking of a message to your mind to know that ain't just no coincident that is the universe telling you that thought is it, that feeling is there for a reason.
With this I leave you the link to my radio show to show to others that we are gifted and all our gifts are unique to be used not ashamed of, to enlighten, empower and lift others. This is the beginning of our journey, lets do it together and shine bright for others to see, to open up and follow the light
