It Takes Time to Shift Your Life

Maybe even years…

Almost ten years ago, I experienced a dramatic re-awakening. It was my second major shift in perception, as a young child, I was very tuned-in to not only the world around me, but also the energetic world beyond the 3-D.

Back then, I decided to leave a long-term relationship. I was losing my sense of Self, or perhaps up to that point, I never had a clear sense of self. I finally faced the truth that almost nothing I had chosen was working in my favor.
