a Look Within

---

 Truly began in 2017, although I had been in service from a very young age. I grew up singing in the church choir, with my mother as the Choir Director. For many years, I faithfully served, but there was always a sense that something was missing. Despite the years of devotion, I never truly felt the presence of God until that profound moment in 2017. In that sacred space, I experienced something I can only describe as divine: for the first time, I knew, without a doubt, that I was not alone. Even though I had always been surrounded by family, this was different.

In that moment, I felt something extraordinary standing behind me—an energy so powerful and pure, it transcended the physical world. I didn’t see a face, but I felt the presence so clearly that it left no room for doubt. I understood, in the deepest part of my being, that a higher power had been with me all along. This experience ignited a powerful longing to return to that divine connection, trusting that it would unfold in perfect timing.

Through this awakening, I began to uncover the root of my pain and struggles, including my battle with obesity, pushing over 300 lbs. and chronic asthma attacks which led me in and out of ICU.  The weight I carried and lack of oxygen in my body was more than just physical—it was a reflection of the emotional wounds and trauma I had buried deep within me, especially from my childhood. The process of unraveling these hidden scars was difficult, but essential. It was through the power of forgiveness—first forgiving myself and then forgiving the person who had hurt me—that I began to free myself from the chains of guilt and self-pity that had kept me tethered to the past. In that moment of liberation, I felt a profound shift in my soul, as I realized that holding onto the pain had only kept me from truly living.

As I sought to break free from this pain, I called out for spiritual guidance, asking to be led to places of learning, both in the physical world and in other realms. Over the next eight years, I embarked on a journey of deep learning, growth, and self-discovery. I immersed myself in various spiritual teachings, seeking wisdom from mentors in both the waking world and in my dreams. I humbled myself before life’s lessons, striving to understand human nature—why we do the things we do, and why we react the way we do.

In the past two years, I’ve taken time away from the noise and busyness of the world to reflect on my own journey. This time of introspection has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the sacred interconnectedness of the heart, body, mind, and soul. I’ve come to see how the rhythms of nature—the changing seasons—offer us the perfect opportunity to reset, heal, and realign ourselves when we’re ready.

I now realize that my purpose on this Earth is to help others on their own healing journey. I feel deeply called to serve as a guide, to share the wisdom I have gathered, and to walk alongside others as they awaken to their own transformation. This path has not always been easy, but it has been one of profound growth, freedom, and a sense of deep purpose. I am eternally grateful for the lessons along the way and for the opportunity to serve others in the same way I have been blessed.
