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! ๐

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!
Yesss!!! Big love sister....this is soul perfect ๐๐๐☯️
