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!

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...

The Long Road Home

I had to leave the beach and my hammock of waves slightly earlier than the Mystic to get ready for my journey back home. Showered, packed, good-byes exchanged, and the car loaded, we were off to the Gay Dolphin for some last-minute gifts and souvenirs. I found nothing on those shelves for myself that could do honor to the memory of this unforgettable experience. Instead, I was grateful to find meaningful (or at least useful) gifts for my baybas and those who made my trip possible by shouldering some of my homestead responsibilities. We ate some classic American food at a place attached to a huge arcade. Oh, had I the time, I would have loved to play some air hockey or a racing game. Next time! Like I said earlier , even though we just had three days straight of Soul Talk, I still wanted more as the Mystic dropped me at the curb. What was I going to do without her reassuring me that “I probably wouldn’t die”?! And all the other sage advice she delivered, not to mention the good time...
