| Then
in 1997 I experienced what I call a defining moment
in my life. I found a lump in my breast. My world collapsed.
I knew inside of me that I needed to change
something about my life if I wanted to live.
This was my wake-up call. I started
my healing journey on the outside. Once my
health improved and I was doing well I thought I was
done. Well, not exactly. There was still a lot
of internal clutter to resolve. Gradually I started
to understand how and why I became the person I was,
how all the experiences in my life shaped me
and how over the years I let go of the person
that in my life mattered the most –
ME.
As I kept releasing the clutter from
my childhood, I regained a sense of myself and
with it came other great discoveries. My long
buried abilities resurfaced.
I reconnected to my intuition
and ability to perceive energy. I could access
information that other people didn’t see. Like
some of my clients would say,“I could read between
the lines and get quickly to what was really going on”.
I felt stronger and more confident than
ever before. I was able to utilize my abilities
as a woman, to my advantage, that I had long
forgotten. I could speak up, and as I would
open my mouth, people would listen to what
I had to say. I was no longer the person that people
were shutting up.
I became a woman who spoke and
affected change and affected people’s lives for
the better. I began making a difference and
I loved the way it felt. I was no longer concerned with
molding myself to other people’s expectations
of me – just so they are comfortable.
I was not willing to sacrifice
who I was for the sake of others.
I saw that by really embracing
who I am and fully using the uniqueness that God gave
me, including my big mouth, I can be an example
for other women to do the same. To live life by definition,
to put their unique stamp on life.
