Send Me On My Way!


*

Two years ago, I started a new blog, Soul Aligned Scripts, which (as of this writing) consists of a whopping ONE post! It is a fantastic, true story of real joy wrapped up in my awesome ridiculousness – totally and completely ME. I wrote that during a time that I was discovering myself after years of being who I thought everyone else needed me to be, and who I needed to be to protect myself from the big-bad boogeyman, also known as my negative, scary, uncomfortable feelings.

Even after experiencing such joy and learning about myself and others along the way, which brought so much sparkle into my life, it didn’t take long for me to revert back to my small self. You know, the scared, angry, resentful, controlling me that couldn’t create or maintain “sparkle” even with a warehouse full of fireworks at my disposal. Nope, I simply was not ready. I still had much to acknowledge, heal and release. That’s All I’m Asking For…is the chronicle of my most recent Dark Night of the Soul Journey. I am so grateful for the experiences, realizations, healing, and catharsis writing the 10 posts of this blog gave me. This process is truly a gift, a gift I will not squander...this time.

Through those experiences and this writing, I found myself – my voice, my passion, my fears, my hopes, and my dreams. I have recognized, accepted, and claimed who I am, and I look forward to sharing that with you over at Soul Aligned Scripts.

I will never stop asking for what I want in life, but instead of asking from a place of insecurity, unworthiness, or even desperation, I now ask for it ALL from a place of wholeness and confidence! I won’t stop at the breadcrumbs I once believed were all I deserved. Now that I know who I am more fully than I ever have in my life, I know I can want, create and have anything my heart desires. I have the wisdom, pure intention, energy, and Universal support to make it happen!

I do hope you’ll join me on my next leg of this journey, one more open to the sparkle in life that I just couldn’t maintain while I carried all that baggage. I can’t promise it won’t ever be heavy, but I can promise it will always be completely and genuinely ME!

For those who have shared that my journey has helped you in some way on your own journey, I am so very grateful. YOU are part of how I was able to find ME, a journey worth embarking on for sure. I sincerely appreciate your time, energy and support.

Wishing us ALL well as we are all becoming…who we truly are!

BIG Love and Gratitude, Always –

Rusted Root is one of my favorite bands from the '90's. Their music fills me with joy, and makes me dance and smile. No better song to 'Send Me On My Way' as I become who I was meant to be! 💖

My Dark Night of the Soul Journey here at That's All I'm Asking For...was necessary to reach where I am today. While I am still working through the residue of a lifetime of beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve me, I am so grateful to be the most authentic version of myself I have ever known. If you're curious, please join me as I continue this adventure of me. It has been a journey worth taking, for sure!

Deep in the Heart of...Texas?!

The family obligation that originally caused me hesitation in booking my flight to this adventure got pushed up a day, and I had to find a flight back home a day early. Although I was sad to leave our extended stay in Soul Talk Land, I must admit, it really did solve several challenges I would face on my solo day at Myrtle Beach between when the Mystic left with her car in the morning and my flight at 8pm. I started my last day at the beach with the “Texas Sisters”, three sweet, classy women with a lot of love for each other and of life! While each had their own special personality, the love of family exuded from each one of them. During our mini-visits, I learned about two of them, including their relationships with one another, their children, spouses, and family. I found that I share my name with their mother – Shirley Ann. Again, I felt connected to these strangers through conversation accumulating to not more than an hour total. While I hoped they felt the gift of that connect...

Close to Me

  I am finding it hard to be all chronological with this account of my shared experience in Myrtle Beach with my friend, the Mystic. After all, experience is rarely linear, or at least I rarely remember it that way. As I’ve shared in earlier posts, I’m led mostly by feeling . When I think of the feeling of this trip, it is deep, soul-awakening and cleansing, and all felt so new since we were visiting a place I have never been. I woke around 4:30am, with a sour stomach from our previous night of fun at Broadway on the Beach. Just as I was about to bolt to the bathroom, I felt someone stand up from sitting next to me on the bed! I could hear and feel my bestie to my back, so I looked out into the darkness of the hotel room and said “Hello?”, as if the unseen presence would answer. But answer it did, with a wave of warm, almost tingly energy that entered my body on my right side from mid-thigh to the bottom of my ribs. It felt benevolent and loving and I would have liked to have rel...

Myrtle Beach?! A Conundrum for Sure...

“I’m going on a nomadic adventure,” my bestie explained. “You should join me in Myrtle Beach from July 31 st through August 5 th !”. I was excited for the prospect of getting the rock out of Dodge while crashing a true adventure…for about 30 seconds. That is, until I allowed this very sparkly idea she threw my way to be all but snuffed out with my emotional pain and big, grown-up responsibilities. Oh, and my own family vacation just the week prior. It seemed a ridiculous thought, but with not much more to do than book my flight and pack, a little bit of sparkle remained around this girlie trip to Myrtle Beach. Who knows?! It could just be the most fun ! And as serendipity would have it, my perceived obstacles were all taken care of without me having to do a damned thing! Flight prices went down from my first serious searches, a family commitment I needed to be in WI for was now scheduled the day after my return. My awesome pet care-takers agreed to stay on another week. I was crashi...
