Spirituality. The New Nutrition.

You've noticed it, too, right?  Spirit is everywhere - and by that I mean, it's all the rage.   It's the Zeitgeist. Everyone's doin' it. Soul Purpose vending is sort of a thing now and it all feels a lot like the nutrition gold rush with which so many of us are familiar. 

Personally, I see it as confirmation of the enormous and unprecedented change that's taking place on the Planet today and it's super exciting to witness so many folks shedding their old selves for what's true and authentic for them.  It's not easy to go against the norm, but it appears that the norm is shifting and more people are willing to BE what they came here to be.  Figuring that out is the interesting part.






My own path to recognizing myself as an advanced Soul has been long and intricate.  Apparently, I entered the earthly plane that way; the process of awakening my Soul probably began just over 20 years ago and my conscious awareness of that awakening can be traced back about three years ago to an experience I had with the Akashic Records, which was too freaky to toss off as being some sort of act or coincidence.  Something within me was triggered in that moment and I was compelled to follow my inner guidance system toward where I am today.  It wasn't a thought process -  there's plainly something else at work here.

Where I am today is a place of loving Self-acceptance; I have a sense of calm and purpose for the first time in my 54 years.  I know why I'm here. I'm no longer anxious; I'm done with all the guilt and shame and I've finally been able to let go of judgment, which has been my personal ball-and-chain for as long as I can remember.  My life today may look pretty much the same on the outside, but my inner world is drastically different.  In the best of ways.

In my life, there have been few things more frustrating for me than to have gone through nutrition school - and all the subsequent courses in which I invested - only to have that go nowhere for me.  I think so many of us are drawn to nutrition because we know the world needs changing.  And, it's totally true that nutrition CAN and does change lives but, personally, I couldn't get a toe hold - I couldn't make myself do it.  (Gawd knows, it wasn't for lack of trying. $$$)  I knew it was important, but it just wasn't MY thing.  So, I kept searching.  I even won a scholarship to an interior design program and still couldn't get it up to complete the course - I'm actually quite good at it, but it just doesn't resonate at a deep level with me.  I've also dreamed up a brilliant business model for a truly eco-green cleaning company and, still, not-so-much.  "Meh."  So many ideas, so little True Inspiration.

And, I wondered, while watching so many of my friends and colleagues find success with their work, if maybe I just wasn't meant to have that experience in this lifetime.  I was really rather coming to terms with that last year when I was introduced to someone who would guide my Soul into its own expression - and the rest, as they say, is history.


(Btw, it's worth noting that I've seen far more of my fellow colleagues NOT find success in this field of work than those who have and I don't think it's because they suck.)



I began my Soul work with Michelle Sinnette just about year ago and to say that she has had a tremendous effect on my life is the understatement of the century.  With guidance from Source, Michelle has shown me the Truth of who I AM and her consistent commitment to her own Soul work allows me to see what it means to be in alignment with Spirit. (Blah, blah, blah - those words only meant something to me after I'd had the experience. Until then, they just sort of fell flat.)

And, this is where words begin to fail.  There are no real words for the magic that happened over the last year; to describe the peace that fills my heart each day feels impossible.  I'm stumped - how do I explain that all of my desperate wanting mysteriously ceased shortly after our first session, when Michelle shared with me my Purpose-with-a-capital-P?  (She must have intuited that I like to cut to the chase.) How to share the nuance of my experiences, which have been, at the same time, both profound and subtle? It feels really daunting, but I'm being pushed by Spirit to share my stories, so I'll just have to figure it out. (Later.)

The bottom line is that, on a practical level, I've stopped living my life from fear.   I've stopped obsessing about my food and I quit measuring myself by my ability to master a particular dietary or exercise regime - or, the perfect "lifestyle." (Don't panic, nutri-geeks!  I still eat well, but I make my choices from a place of desire, instead of, "because I should.") When I want to rest, I rest -  without feeling guilty about it or that I should be doing something productive.  I make a choice, in every moment, to honor my Soul's Truth as I understand it.  And, when I honor that, I receive more of the Grace and Ease for which I am, apparently, cosmically known.  (Yes, even in other dimensions, I'm a good time!)  

Doing my Soul Work opened my heart and allowed me to begin to understand my Soul and what it wants from and for me in this life.  My Soul is the reason I couldn't become a "six-figure entrepreneuer" - that's just not my path.  My Soul Work is what allowed me to very quickly be okay with that.





I'm not exactly sure what Spirit has in store for me next, but I'm relaxed about it. For now, I'm being encouraged to join Michelle in an on-air discussion about the Soul and why it's so important for each of us to tune into ours right now.  Kale is excellent, but it's going to take a lot more than leafy greens and hydration to change the World - it's going to take each of us doing and Being exactly what our Souls came here to do and Be.  Of this, I am intuitively certain.

So, there's plenty more to come from me and my Soul, but for now, I hope you'll join me this Thursday, July 9th, for an unscripted conversation with my friend and mentor, Michelle Sinnette, on the power of knowing your own Soul.  (You can register by clicking here: https://soullegacy.leadpages.net/souls-truth-wisdom/.  The call will be recorded if you can't be there live.)

Quinoa is good for you.  Soul Truth is Filling.

Heh.

What? Too Woo-Woo For You?

So, a quick note about writing before we get to the actual writing portion of the program:

As prescribed, I have been writing - during a session earlier this year with a renowned numerologist, it was suggested that I write for "just 10 minutes a day," and I've been doing it, in my journal, nearly faithfully. I actually look forward to it because it helps me to process my experiences and to make sense out of life in these times.  There is comfort in my personal pages.

But, the Universe keeps nudging me to write publicly and, okay....whatever.  I'll do it.  And, earlier today, in my journal, I had to come to grips with why it's so not appealing for me to write out loud.  It's a juicy combo of real and un-truths:

  • I don't have anything worth sharing.  My stories are mundane and uninteresting - in order for me to jazz it up, I have to be inauthentic, which doesn't suit me.
  • I rather enjoy my anonymity. As much as I might seem to be an open book, it turns out that I'm quite private; I just don't need everyone knowing my shit.  But, since I'm not driven to advise/teach/convince, I've narrowed it down to either sharing my own experiences or writing fiction.  And, fiction doesn't feel like my thing, so that leaves "sharing my experiences."  Yay, me.  Is there a course for Writing To Make The Subtle More Obvious and Interesting?
  • There's no point in me simply writing about "the Ascension."  There are quite literally thousands of people writing about it - and much of it is well-delivered. All the more reason for me to...you know it...share my own experience of Awakening as opposed to regurgitating information.  Even if that information has, well, informed my Awakening. (I've never been good with regurgitation.)
  • My experience has been special and sacred.  It feels like I can't do it justice with words. I feel protective of it.
  • There are some major pieces of my experience that I just can't share publicly - and my story feels incomplete without them.  Hmm.
  • Even if/when I blog, I'll still have to journal because it's how I process, so to blog feels like double duty.  It feels a little bit like "work."  Ick.
  • I'm probably afraid to reveal more of my 5D multi-dimensional Self.  "What?  Too woo-woo for you?"
  • I've got no writing experience or education, so plainly, "I'm not good enough" is running the show here.
  • Also, vulnerability.  Eeesh.
So, there are plenty of reasons not to write.

And yet, I have to.  Because, you know....Source.
