The writings featured on this blog are a result of my quest for truth and a desire to live, walk and breathe in my faith. This journey started four years ago in a hotel bar with some very great friends. Prior to that evening I was living an unconscious lifestyle, believing the thoughts in my head to be my true self and carrying the weight of my ego with me every where I ventured. One day I found myself in the midst of a major wake up call and I knew I needed to shift in another direction. Unsure of how to move forward I did the best I could with the resources available to me and that night at the hotel bar I decided that if I paid close attention to my life and the vision that I had for it, I could achieve a significant level of self transformation and also bear witness to it.
At the time my friends and I were all experiencing some sort of change in our lives that we either felt anxiety, fear or excitement about. After much conversation and several glasses of wine, we had generated enough positive energy within ourselves to commit to witnessing our growth over the course of a year.
While this notion of paying attention to my life was my primary focus, it wasn’t until a month later that I learned what it meant to be present so that I could pay attention to my life. I had literally stumbled upon A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle and something inside me stirred and I felt compelled to read it. After reading the first chapter I knew this book would be a game changer for me.
This journey to awakening has been fruitful, emotionally exhaustive, exciting, self-sacrificing and hopeful. I have come very far and have a very long way to go. As I evolve and become more present in my life it is my hope that I encounter others on their journey and connect spirit to spirit with each soul I meet sharing and learning lessons that are divinely designed for me.
