Time Flies...When You're Having Fun :)

Its been almost exactly a year since my last post. I apologize for not keeping up with this blog, especially with the year I have had! It is difficult to sum up all of what this last year has meant to me, how I have grown and how much transformation has occurred. I think the simplest way would be to say that I am happier and more fulfilled than I have ever been...that, I feel deeply connected to the wholeness of life...and that, my heart is full and the world I perceive is a reflection of this deep connection to love...to God.

Tonight, I was sitting at my computer researching for the next part of my journey and I thought of all of the people who have been loving and supporting me all of these years. People who believed in me when I was too afraid to believe in myself...family, friends, clients, teachers... And I feel the deepest sense of gratitude. Because I know that my success is in large part a result of this energy that has surrounded me. I thank each of you for this...for loving me, and for trusting me with your own experiences. Know that you are all in my thoughts as I too hold your highest good in my consciousness. Thank you.

I received my masters degree in Vedic Science in June. It was a year of knowledge gained from every level, a year which brought affirmation and clarity to my faith and my purpose. I have decided to continue my education in the helping profession by pursuing a degree in Transpersonal Counseling. This model of psychology is wholistic as it includes mind, body, and spirit when addressing the wellness of individuals. Through my own experiences this has proven to be necessary and my desire is to help others move through their own healing process in ways similar to how I was helped. I would also like very much to be a part of a shift in how we as human beings perceive mental health. I am leaving Friday to visit the schools I am interested in so there should be more on that later :).

Before I go back to school again I have decided to travel. It just feels like the right time and so I am going for it. I have alloted six months for this adventure but I am also flexible in whatever direction I am guided, whether that means being away for more or less time or going to more or less destinations. My attention is focused on Being present for each moment of my experience and taking care of myself as I go along the way.

This is my most monster step!:) Most of you know about the many years I struggled with anxiety. I would be lying to say that I am not actively addressing this, and I would like to use this blog as a way to express how I deal with those feelings. Perhaps my experience will be able to help someone else.

So, as you see, I am going to give this blog thing another shot :). It is going to have to work though because I am using it to be my main form of updating my friends and family. My goal is to use it to express my thoughts and feelings in an honest and candid way. It will never be my intention to offend anyone, but I have decided that it is necessary for me to communicate openly without fear.

You can subscribe to this blog by clicking the icon in the upper left corner and you will receive e-mails when I post. I still have to figure out how to connect a photo link, but that should be worked out before I leave the US of A.

I guess that is all for now...except...

I love you and I am thankful for you.

love, peace, and blessings...
