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! ๐Ÿ’–

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...

Into the Mystic

My first full day ocean-side started early. They all started early. Between 4:30 and 5:30am seemed my vacation rising time and I had no choice but to go with it! The sunrise was brilliant, the ocean breeze solidified my wide-awakeness and I got to see all the goings-on that most vacationers miss. Activities like lifeguards setting up the beach chairs and umbrellas temporary beach-bums like my bestie and I would later rent for the day. Hotel staff cleaning the pool and enjoying the sunrise with me, and a few other early-risers walking the beach and watching all the birds dive and glide in the breeze. When I served as the opening barista at our local coffee shop, I reveled in catching glimpses of early-morning phenomena I was one of few to see from my vantage point, and I loved it. It felt like secret sensory treasures, gifted for my eyes only. My early beach mornings felt similar, but surprisingly, I was not by any means alone at those ungodly hours! It also gave me time to meet new “...
