There are no coincidences. I've always believed everything happens for a reason. This has become very apparent to me these last few days. I have been on a journey to transform my life the last few months, to find what I'm really here to do. On the inside, I still feel like a child wondering what I want to be when I grow up. I've never been able to answer that question. There are so many things I want to experience. Maybe that's what I'm here to do; follow my dreams, experience, learn and share. I've always been very good at taking care of others but always at the expense of my own happiness and health. The time is now for ME!

Last week, I performed a little ritual for myself. I'm trying to shed the negtivity that's been dominating my life. I decided I would write down all the negative thoughts, bad feelings, sadness and anger. Then I burned some sage to clear the space, lit the paper and placed it in with the sage to burn. I took the ashes with me when I went out later that day and found a little garden to spread them out. I visulaized the negative thoughts floating away. I felt a little lighter after that. The next day I was in a bookstore and was thumbing through a magazine and came across an article talking about the very ritual I had performed. In addition, the article suggested writing down all the things you want to bring in to your life and burn them as well to release them in to the ether to allow them to manifest. When I got home, I wrote down all the positive goals and dreams I wanted and sent them off in to the ether as well.

Throughout the week, I've been either seeing or hearing words to remind me I'm on the right path. I see the words believe and create everywhere I go. So that is what I must do. I've had several conversations with friends over the last few weeks about inspiration, believing in your dreams and following your passsion. All these conversations have been lessons preparing me for the transformation to come. And big things are coming, I can feel it!

As always,
TOO
