At that moment, I felt very unsupported by so many people who I expected to step in, help, show up and love me and my family. I was so consumed with internal sadness that I just wanted to take my little family of 4 and our 2 dogs and move to an island somewhere to avoid the chaos surrounding these unsupported feelings and confrontational relationships that engulfed our lives. I slowly realized as I journeyed through these life traumas that I was being shaken by the universe to widen my lens. This whole time, without realizing - I had been working, practicing and creating a different reality through everything I was being put through: for myself, my family and my relationships. I developed the ability within myself, learning to tap into this sacred space that helped me seek shelter in my storms. But when I finally embraced my soul-self - MY reality, everything in life got easier, simpler, and those energy soul suckers that would show up from time-to-time in my life, eventually detached, too.
