“I love my life.

I love who I have become.”

These are the two first sentences in my journal this morning.

As I was writing them I realized I wanted…no cancel that! I NEEDED to share this with you.

I couldn’t have written this a couple of years ago. I have come a long way. I have gone through the in-famous” dark night of the soul, and I have been transformed, forged like iron under fire; because fire has been… and water, and wind, and earth.

I am such a different person than I used to be. What I like has changed, what I enjoy has changed, what I do has changed, what I eat has changed… but there is one thing has hasn’t changed: my essence.

I have remembered who I am. I have removed layers of the ego, layers of the mask I had built to “protect” myself. Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means a “finished product”. However, I am at a stage in my life where some important rocks of the foundation of who I am are now sturdy and clear.

A fundamental part of my metamorphosis has been honoring myself and making sure I have my “sacred time” on a daily basis.

This is my favorite time after waking up. I honor my soul, my mind and my body. I meditate, I journal and I exercise. I will fight for this time now, I will ensure I find it no matter how early I have to get up to have this space.

My candles, my silence, my “mate”, my wall-staring time, my journal and, here and there I pull out a “magical dimension cards”, for fun!

This is what I wish for you as well, that you may honor yourself. I wish for you that you can do what makes you feel good, that you manifest what you desire, that you get the love your yearn for, that you your eyes open in keep child-like wonder throughout life.

Love and brilliance!
