In the last year of my life, I have undergone an
unbelievable transformation. I went from being a girl in grief who protected
her vulnerability behind a smile to a confident woman sure of herself and the
direction of her life.
No one could stop me from emerging. See, my soul’s purpose
has me touching millions of people, to entertain and to inspire. The shining
light inside of me couldn’t be kept in a dark place. This awakening revealed my
purpose. As mentioned, though, it wasn’t always clear.
Yes, I’ve known for years that writing would be a part of my
life until the day I draw my last breath, but now I have a full awareness.
Through journaling and availing myself of the many teachers out there, I did
energy work and opened my mind to areas that previously were taboo based on my
upbringing. The result? I am happier than ever.
In fact, I truly feel that I have been re-born and am ready
to live my life fully in line with my soul’s purpose. While I know I still have
much to learn about meditation and energy work, I eagerly gorge myself on it as
often as possible. Time to BE is part of my daily routine.
Like I mentioned, though, it wasn’t always easy for me. I
went through very low periods, so low that I don’t even feel comfortable
disclosing the depth of my despair. Let’s just suffice it to say that it was as
low as a person can get emotionally.
Through teachers that came to be—trust me when I say that
they appear at the right time—I came to realize the strength that lives within.
I have the ability to manage and prosper simply by choosing to.
With guidance from my sister, Sherry, I purged a lot of emotions
that were no longer serving me. These were low level vibrations and it was time
for me to release them. They served their purpose. I thanked them for that but
released them.
With my growth, more recently, I’ve learned to communicate
with my Higher Self (people refer to this by many different labels but this is
the one that resonates with me). After all, the answers to every situation lie
within. I decided what I want in the future and asked my Higher Self what I
need to do now in order to attain these goals. The answers coming back to me
are astonishing and plentiful!
One morning last week, I was woken up by my soul’s mission
statement. It was five thirty in the morning and I didn’t need to be up yet but
I was driven. My soul was talking to me and I was listening. What came as a
result was a two sentence mission statement of sorts. I refer to it as my Soul’s Mission Statement.
These two sentences involve my deepest being and what I’m
here to do. The words poured naturally from me and are easy to remember. After
all, they are who I am.
"To touch the hearts of millions with my books, my spoken words, and my deeds. To entertain, to inspire, to empower, and to provide temporary relief from stress and pain."
I wanted to share this experience with all of you to let you
know that you have your own Soul’s Mission Statement inside of you. When the
time is right it will reveal itself and in the manner that suits and speaks to
you.
Just remember, as my sister is always saying, “we’re just
beginning!”
Bless all of you and keep shining!

You are not alone. I, too, have walked many dark days. I am glad to hear that you are finding the light. I heard that 2014 is the Year of the Open Door and I have been experiencing that. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all, and bless you as life continues to unfold!
