We are back in the States. I'm still processing the entire trip abroad to three countries, accompanied by many teenagers, and a Swedish tour guide. I had anticipated posting and discussing our adventures while on the go, but to be honest, I was immediately so overwhelmed with emotion due to the beauty of Spain, the richness of culture, and the compassion of the people, that I lost my connection to technology. I didn't use my phone for days at a time, and it.was.wonderful. While I love being connected with people I don't have the pleasure to see daily, nothing, absolutely nothing, beats real-life, in-person, soul-scanning connection with kindred spirits. This trip absolutely changed me in so many ways. It changed me in ways I didn't realize needed to be changed. It helped me let go of shame, darkness, regret--all that shit. Shit I guess I knew I was carrying around in my Spirit, but that I didn't realize was weighing down my Soul. I literally baptized myself in Connection, and came out the other side ready for my Witness to the World.
I know this may sound a little Woo-Woo for many of you, and I realize I'm still on the travel-high, but I wanted to be over the top in my words because my emotions and Spirits are bursting at the seams. I want you to feel my exuberance, and go on this journey with me. I want you to know what now I know deeply in my gut--down in the digestive parts of my intestines--every single thing not only happens for a reason, but it happens just as it should happen for every single lesson is taught to us in a unique way--a way that allows us to learn at our own pace. Reflecting on the last two years of my emotional life, I know why they were so dark--that darkness led me to this light.
And now, I want to shine on you.
I know that's a teaser--but honestly, I must process more before I can fully explain this part of my awakening. Come back soon. Leave me a note. Ask me a question.
