5 year Anniversary of my Awakening Moment......

5 year Anniversary of my Awakening Moment...... I took this pic while sitting on the pristine grains of selenite crystals that make up White Sands in New Mexico.

I was running the sand through my fingers while looking around me, it was the most beautiful landscape I had ever seen. Then my gaze stopped and fixed upon all the adults standing in a group, which consisted of my husband at the time and his family, and the most indescribable moment of clarity and peace came over me in that moment, and I heard "You don't have to be around these people." And just like that, the weight was lifted off my shoulders, my soul was wide awake, I felt alive for the first time in so many years and I just knew that my life would change forever. Its been 5 years since that amazing day and my life is certainly full of love, joy, happiness, passion, vitality, clarity and peace. If I had any regret it is the upheaval in the kids lives of their Mom not being there 24/7 but they were living with a depressed, zombie Mom, who was close to taking her own life, so actually I think they ended up more fortunate and hopefully will learn from my mistake of not following and trusting your soul. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that on this 5 yr anniversary of my awakening moment that I am again looking around with more clarity at who and what is most important in my life. We are all here doing the best we can making the most of our lives, noone is perfect but if you wake up every morning with a smile on your face, love in your heart and being true to who you really are, then you are doing a-ok.
