Becoming

Life continues to throw curve balls at me, of course, I think that is a given for all of us. At the moment there is a lot going on and my focus is on sorting out what and where my priorities lie. Not to sound self-centered, but for the first time I'm realising that my first priority in my life is me. In my happiness and inner contentment I can find the strength to be more. More for myself, more as a mother and more as a life partner.

Do you ever find yourself wondering, "What if?" Yeah, me too.

We can't change the past, honestly, why would we want to? There are moments of pride, moments of shame, memories of wrong choices made and knowing that we did our absolute best in any given situation considering where we were at that time. Psychologically, physically, academically, spiritually, emotionally, we are always in growth and what happened yesterday shapes who we are today but doesn't dictate what we do tomorrow. Embrace the past, take the lessons, embrace the suck and make tomorrow better with all you have learned about the world and yourself. Every triumph, trial, tribulation, every event, big or small, were lessons in becoming you.

In the midst of one of the worst winters (both how bitter it was outside and my level of depression) I came across the Soul Path Tribe. I was reluctant to join at first, I'm not really sure why now, but join I did and the Tribe has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I found my spiritual calling, I am finding my purpose and I found my Inner Goddess. Lyn and Paul have taught me so much, and I have so much to learn, and I do love me my learning!

In the past 6 months I have changed - no, not changed, blossomed. The dreams I've long repressed are bubbling up. I've been writing, one of the passions I've had since childhood. I had three articles published in Soul Path Magazine in July and been asked to be a regular contributor, sharing my interest in aromatherapy in the form of blends I've created to help us in our everyday adventures. My self-confidence has grown, I'm slowly chasing away those inner voices that regularly told me that I'm inadequate and unworthy, I'm fat, lazy, unattractive and stupid. Replacing them with, "I'm capable and talented, I'm beautiful (inside and out), I'm intelligent, creative and clever." Challenging myself to grow, to become, to be Me!

If you're open and ready for change; if you know you have potential but are unsure how to tap into it, I highly recommend the Soul Path Tribe. I've been through other programs and there are many great ones out there. Each one has to fit where you are in life right now and if it doesn't fit, it won't work. With any of them you get out of it what you put in to it, are you ready to put in 100% of finding your Inner Goddess? Then go for it, where there is a will, there is a way. And if you need a cheerleader, don't hesitate to contact me. I may not be able to reply immediately but I will reply and I hope I can encourage you to find your strength and courage.

What challenges are you facing? What do you think your first step should be in facing those challenges?

Yesterday is past, tomorrow is not yet here, but Today is a Gift - That is why it is called the present. Be present and revel in all you have right now.


Love & light,
