I was sleeping for so long, life was moving and I was moving with it but it was as if I was going through life without living.  Of course I was doing things, but I wasn’t really present while doing them.  Overcoming some hurdles in life like most but my body had taken the brunt of it.  I stored so much pain and hurt and didn’t even realize it.  Most of us do not understand that our bodies hold so much.  Rewind to about 8 years ago, I was laid up recovering from another surgery and I took an online course that in a sense woke me up.  I started being present and, in the moment, I stopped living in the past or future.  I gave myself grace to live in this moment and when I did my world just opened up.  Physical I was having issues, knee problems, gut issues, female issues and so much more.  I learned that only I was responsible for the life I live.  There was not going to be someone to come in and do the work I needed to do.  No one can.  You must take the steps that only you can take.  I slowly understood that how I talked to myself, how I fed myself (food, music, books, relationships, etc.) dictated how I was living.  I started showing up for loving who God put me here to be. I started to realize that we individually put ourselves in boxes through these forms of programming.  I wanted something different, so I choose to live in the moment, be present, be kind and help others with this when and where I can.  When I say I am walking proof that you can have a different experience in life I mean it.  I found different modalities and courses that showed me how to live differently and mostly pain free. The choice is yours to make.  I believe in you, do you?
