I Ask Myself .... Who Am I?

Sounds very introspective right? But really who am I and why am I here?

I’m just like you are. Plain and simple. I eat, I sleep, I laugh, I cry, I play, I volunteer, I work, I get tired like you do, I cook, I clean, I have challenges to deal with and I want something even better in my life, just like you do. I want to share a bit of me with you.

Some of you may resonate with this and some of you won’t. For those that do, how wonderful! You’ve obviously been looking within yourself for some answers, asking some of those same questions, realizing that there is more to life and our purpose here ….for those that don’t, that’s perfectly fine, I wish you well. We are exactly where each of us is meant to be at this moment in time and doing exactly what we’re meant to be doing. I choose to view life from a perspective of abundance and acceptance.

I hope you don’t mind me sharing with you. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, it’s been an ongoing process for many, many years and I’ve come to one of those crossroads in ones’ life. I’ve learned many things about myself and have been blessed to grow spiritually and wondrously. I realize that this is definitely a long letter – yikes! There is so much I want to say to you!

This afternoon, in need of some serious recharging, I went out for a long walk in the cold and snow. I went to my favorite spot on the water overlooking the Bay, a place where I often reflect and chat with the Big Man above. It feels like it’s just me and the universe out there. I enjoy the beauty of nature, the mountains when I turn one way and put my face into the sun and the Bay covered in ice and frozen drifts in the other direction. I draw my strength and energy from these times.

Certainly, life has been full of many different challenges for me; some devastatingly so, such as the loss of my son over 3 years ago. He chose to suddenly sever his relationship with me, his sister and his extended family, aunts/uncles/cousins, following in his fathers’ footsteps and ‘cutting’ people out of his life. Divorce can destroy a family and the fallout from it can be horrendous. It is so sad. I ask my Higher Power whom I call God, what is the reason for this? Why? What lesson do I need to learn from this? How can I learn from this? The health challenges I’ve had to deal with have been quite honestly, pretty frightening. But once again, there are lessons to be learned from that too. Priorities to get straight - Lessons to learn!

Like all things in life, and because I truly wanted to, I’ve learned so many of these lessons. I’ve come to realize that these challenges presented me with the lessons and processes that I needed for myself to bring me to right now, to the beautiful person that I am and to get me where I needed to be right now to live out my life’s purpose. My son has his own healing to do and his own path to follow and I accept this and move on. I will always love him and pray he finds his way back to love one day.

A line I read today says “Wisdom is knowledge gained by experience and implemented by love”. This resonated with me and spoke deeply to my soul. I am a soul full of Wisdom and I love.

The ‘things’, the ‘stories’, the ‘events’, the ‘health challenges’ are all what I call the ‘junk’ of what has taken place. They are simply the story behind what has formed me into the person that I am today.

I am soul, and I live from my soul. I cannot live from any other place. I choose to live in peace, joy and harmony with myself and others. That is what is important to me. I affirm daily that I am a radiant being filled with light and love.

I’ve been so blessed on this journey. As I’ve dug deeper within myself to my core, my soul, and listened to it, I have received many, many blessings.

My beautiful daughter is the light of my life. She lives from her own soul; her light and love shine through in everything she does. My daughter is one of my ‘whys’, she’s what keeps me going and someone I learn from constantly! She talks…..I listen! She’s an amazing communicator and is brilliant in her own right with so many gifts to give the world.

I’ve been honored to share my good friends’ final and painful journey with him, holding his hands and closing his eyes as he passed on. I believe it’s the reason we were brought together in the first place so he wouldn’t be alone on this journey.

And I’ve been blessed to have what I call my ‘one great love’ come into my life for a time, bringing me such joy, happiness and radiance, showing me what a true good and honorable man is like.

I am so incredibly blessed and grateful for all I have received; I have so much to give.

I continue with my studies in Esoteric Psychology, a passion of mine, it’s simply the way I live my life, from a place of awareness, consciousness and connection with the universe and all things in it. I embrace life and everything in it.

I am a Rotarian and proud of it! Rotary’s motto is “Service Above Self”, pretty simplistic but precisely why Rotary exists, to raise money and help others all over the world. It’s thrilling to me to be a part of something so vital and that is changing lives around the world.

My passion is to help others. I can’t tell you all the ways that will manifest. I can tell you that it will be from a place of joy and service. I choose to surround myself with loving, kind and empathetic people. With people who care. I am focusing my energies on building my health and wellness business. How can I not when this has saved my life and provided for me when I was away from it? To be honest, real estate is just not my passion, it was a way, but I find it driven by too many egos and what I’ll simply call negative vibes.

I want to work with people who are positive and kind, who have dreams of a better life for themselves, who accept responsibility for themselves, people who live in the moment not in the past, people who want to take action and build that better life, the life of their dreams. I want to work with people that are interested in health and people that want to build wealth.

The knowledge and skills are easily learned and not the most important things to me right now. It’s who you are and the core values you live by that are more important to me. I want to work with people who care, people with good energy.

I ask you …What is your why? What is your dream? How big is it? After all, the biggest dream is just the right size.

I ask you …….. Who are you? Are you one of the ones I’m looking for?

To your health and prosperity,
