Good morning once again! I hope it’s a beautiful morning in every way where you are!
By now, you’ve likely received and read last week’s email, after a bit of a natural hiatus from me.
Sometimes it’s good to take a moment, take a beat, to see exactly where we are on our path—following up on last week’s email about your spiritual journey.
I’m reminded of something my son used to say when he was a young teenager, struggling with some things in his own life:
“It’s not all bunnies and sunshine, Mom.”
That’s the truth, isn’t it? There are those moments of radiance and insight… and then there are the moments of struggle, pain, and confusion.
I hope you were open to the message of my last email about my own spiritual path, which was that—NO—it’s not all bunnies and flowers. Sometimes the pain is excruciating and deeply confusing, and, trust me, it can even feel pretty damn crazy.
“Pretty damn crazy” can feel like the world… or like me… when things are spiritually moving us on a path that feels like the speed of light. And then, wait… wait… wait!! When did I sign up for THIS? And what was I thinking???
It reminds me of my most recent major life and spiritual challenge. It was triggered by an infection wreaking havoc in my body, which, despite multiple trips to urgent care and doctors, went unidentified. This ultimately landed me in the hospital with quickly scheduled open-heart surgery, followed by six months—complicated by several setbacks—in a hospital bed. Even my primary physician said to me recently, “Wow, that’s a long time for anybody to be in a hospital bed!”
But that’s not the end of the story… I’ll continue sharing this journey in my next blog post on September 23rd. Stay tuned!
