Have you ever asked yourself
what is your purpose?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve asked myself that question. Searching for the answer led me to try all sorts of self-development programs, read whatever books were recommended, talk to interesting people, and explore places from all over the world, as if the answer was somewhere “out there.”
I had no idea how to find my answer, but somehow the time and effort to pursue it, kept falling off my priority list. After all, I have a full life! I have a successful career, a marriage of 28 years, three beautiful children and proudly juggled work, while being a mom, a wife and the single daughter of aging parents that lived in a different country. Phew! I was always running around, getting things done and taken care of until I got “pushed off that train.”
In 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It felt as if I had been living full speed when I got pushed off that fast train.
All of a sudden, I was not able to juggle a thousand things a minute and was forced to slow down and focus on me. On ME!
I decided cancer was a tap on the shoulder. I was being told that change was imperative if I wanted to “stick around.”
So, I asked myself, what if I only had a year to live, what did I want to make sure to get done?
Immediately, fulfilling obligations came to mind. I took actions to make sure my kids, my husband, and my dad would be taken care of. Once those responsibilities were fulfilled, what was next? I wanted to live my purpose. I wanted to create my best life. I didn’t want to get to the end and say “I should have.” So, I dove within.
My healing journey has been incredible.
It has been filled with adventure, love, tears, pain, fear, friendship, connection with the Divine and transformation.
As a result, I am giving myself permission to be an artist, an author, a storyteller, a modern mystic and to bring light forward into the world.
I look forward to continuing my journey alongside yours.
From my heart to yours with mucho love.
