Day 13 – Saying YES to Raising Myself

I have often said that I raised myself. At a young age I knew that my mother did not have it in her to be a nurturing and loving mother. It was not easy to be a child. In fact I did not have much of a childhood. Too much adult responsibility and very little time to play. I watched over my brother and sister because it was what was necessary. It was about pure survival everyday and there was a great deal of chaos in my life as a child and all of that experience was stored in my cells.

The chaos that I knew as a child showed up in my life in my twenties when I was just beginning my first business. In fact I called that time of my life the “Turbulent Twenties.” I thought that was just how life was supposed to be.

It was years before I remembered the buried traumas of my childhood and once I did remember things began to make more sense. It would take me decades to heal from all of it. I am still healing from it but from a completely different place. If it was not for all of that I would not be as connected to my spiritual self as I am. So it is a blessing. All of it. What a life I have led. I am so grateful for all the healers I have had in my lifetime and I pray that I live my highest potential as I connect to my tribe and be a source of inspiration and healing in the world.
