The past month has brought some devastating events to my doorstep.  So many of you have let me know your struggles with life-altering changes, and similar loss of footing on your individual paths.  I want to share a personal message of reflections on raw emotions.

Whether its loss of health, loss of physical life, loss of home, loss of career, loss of self ~ it is felt as a shockwave upon the energies of self and spills out as karma on the planet.  How does one survive?  And can you accept that surviving will diminish expectations from yourself?

Seemingly insurmountable changes shake me to the very core of who I am.  A depth of sadness and a feeling that I may never again find a sense of inner peace is a nagging thorn in the side of my Soul’s consciousness.

I better understand how people give up.  I better understand how easy it would be to walk out into the woods and just lie down on Mother Earth and let her falling leaves cover my unmoving body and relinquish my last breath to the extreme tiredness of living.

It is a rare person who escapes this feeling at some point in life.  Why is it so important to get up and fight inertia?

Deep crisis is a time to stand in your power.  If you have breath you have power.  If you have thought you have power.  The power of decision.  The power of belief.  It keeps you on the physical plane, navigating it without maps, but drawing upon a deeper intuition of survival and finding your way again.

All of you who are facing insurmountable odds be still with your thoughts, as I will be with mine.  It’s the only way we can hear our heart. And your heart will direct your feet upon an illuminated path to follow.

Give yourself time and kindness and allow clarity of purpose to replace what you have lost.
