How It Begins, How It Ends
Tonight as I sat at dinner, I realized that I have overstayed my time here, and am so ready to move on. In the last month, I have been occupied with painting, cleaning, and repairing my home just to show and sell it. In addition, I have been finding a rental home in California, packing,…

Slaying Dragons
I have been laying dragons ever since I was child I believe due to my childhood abuse. The dragon represents my father who came into my room in the night. I was terrified to go to sleep as a child and even into adulthood. He was the Jekyll and Hyde character who was a doting…

Life’s Big Tests
Today, as I was having lunch with a girlfriend, we shared the most interesting coincidences. She shared with me that during the last week, she heard from or saw her last three ex’s, and one lives in Colorado. I also heard from or saw three of my ex’s in the past month. Two of my…

Don’t Count the Days, Make the Days Count

Coming Full Circle
Recently, I read about how Kundalini energy may be activated through a love relationship or through a spiritual healer. My Kundalini energy rose in March 2011 after reuniting with a love relationship from another lifetime who is Kundalini active in this lifetime. When I met him, I had no memories of this prior lifetime with…

Getting It Right
I am spending a few days in Hilton Head Island with a good friend to relax, rejuvenate, and reflect. I have many questions to ask my higher self. Where am I going? What am I intended to do? What do I still need to do for my emotional and spiritual growth? How much time do…
