The Start
Just my first post, to break the ice.
Wow. How did I get here?
I’ve thought about a blog many times, but over the years it was something that drifted out of my periphery, like so many things do as the sands of time begin to bury your true self. Then, I suppose, you begin the chipping away process, which seems to start after around age 30, and really ramps up by 35. The irony of life is that you really start to lean into yourself just as you start to really flesh out.
Why am I here? I’ve been undergoing the most remarkable transformational process. One that involved a lot of rough lessons, a lot of trial and error, a lot of answer-seeking.
I’ll say that in my own opinion (and also according to some of my closest friends), my life has pretty much been a shit show from the beginning. Of course, you can decide what you think about that as time goes. But what I can say for sure is that I clawed myself out of the depths of internal Hell, and now I’d like to tell you all about how I did it.
Why do I want to share my story, my meagrely collected wisdom, and unsolicited advice? Because just maybe it will help someone. Someone who feels hopeless, someone who feels like it’ll never get better, someone who feels like there are some things you just never recover from, someone who feels like they can’t change, or thrive, or heal. Maybe someone like you, or maybe someone just going through a rough patch.
What I know for sure is that it has helped me tremendously when others’ have shared their stories, and I found that they aligned with my experiences in a way that only someone who has been through it really can. There is only so much that the uninitiated (trial by fire) person can relate to, and therefore, support you. Someone who visited a similar trench somewhere at some point, however, knows what it’s really like to be there in the muck, and isn’t afraid to roll around in it with you for the sake of getting you the fuck out of there.
Here we’ll talk about Tarot, Mysticism, Feminism, New Earth, Consciousness, and all things weird and wonderful. But, we’ll also ground into science, psychology and facts, because I consider myself a bridge between the two. If that’s not your thing, I wish you blessings and love, and I release you on your merry way.
So here I am. I am not exactly sure how I’ll go about this process, or even how often I intend to post, but my most recent motto (I have a lot) has been ‘Just one thing’, i.e. just try every day to do one thing that brings you closer to where you want to be, your proverbial ‘dream life’.
If you like talking about self-improvement, spirituality, trauma, magic, moving forward (and sometimes being in the muck), and the Divine, consider subscribing. Thank you. I love you already.
