Pain, Freedom, Spiritual Transformation
October 9, 2022 – Fifty-one years ago today, our lives changed instantly, not in a good way, but in a mysterious, better way. Upon exiting this Earth, he left behind one of the biggest messes a human could leave.
One that has taken a lifetime to overcome and still to this day dealing with the residual toxic effects of what was.
Convinced forgiveness frees not only ourselves but also the person who causes harm. No doubt in my mind my Dad is the Red Bird from the other side of the clouds. In my present darkest moments, the signs along the way point to someone up in heaven who came down to Earth for just a second to let me know everything would be okay.
No coincidence in the timing. All three in the same week. The anniversary of Dad’s death, Mama’s hospital stay and health, and sisters too.
Through years of intense emotional healing pain, my spirituality changed. A shift and knowing heaven and hell are not a place; it is inside us all. The mystery revealed is there is only One Love; it is a journey on Earth that allows us to choose how we want to live and leave our footprints on the planet before we go.
Pandemics, theories, politics, and/or religion are no different than any diversion used to divide us all. Although Jesus is still my mentor and most excellent teacher, the so-called Christian I called myself no longer exists; for me, it all boils down to the same thing. No matter the name you choose to call it, whether it be The Universe, Source, JuJu, Good Vibes, or God. For me, they are the same. I have learned the greatest of these is LOVE.
Only another person who has walked my path would understand.
I am thankful my Dad gave me life, that he died when he did, and that I forgave him. The immense pain of healing gave me the “hootspa” to walk alongside and help care for my Sister and Mama for such a time as this!
Thank you again for the positive vibes, prayers, and good juju, primarily for your Love. I swear I sense, feel, and am energized by it.
Thankful for airways of communication, for FaceBook friends, friends of friends, family, and all the strangers that have held me in their loving arms as I cried. An incredible journey… What are you waiting for love awaits for you.
My heart loves you all.
