I realized some of you missed my newsletter last week. So here it is again. Enjoy!
 
For the most up-to-date news on events, and happenings and Soul connecting resources follow me on Facebook.
My new updated website is here!  It has the same look but will flow better and allow me to share with you many more resources. You can take a look here. In the coming weeks it will continue to unfold and become more of a Soulful, healing resource for all of you. It's in transition so I apologize if there are still some kinks to work through.
Preface to Blog
I read recently that when someone is called to be a healer, and by healer I mean anyone who is called to serve others, they experience many "deaths" as part of their initiation. These "deaths" can be literal deaths of someone close to them.  Or metaphorical deaths, such as a loss a loved one, experiencing a serious illness or trauma.

Those painful deaths, usually turn your world upside down, and may feel excruciatingly painful. However, when they are allowed to be grieved, fully experienced, and surrendered to Spirit they can lead to great compassion and an expanded  ability to be a healing presence for others.

In my own healing journey, and as I lead others on theirs, I have found that many of these "deaths" happen in childhood.  Although there can be great resistance, and even cynicism, about going back and revisiting childhood pain, when done with mindfulness and compassion, it is, in my experience, one of the most healing and transformative things.

Below I share a letter I wrote to my 3-year-old self about my first "death". Perhaps it will inspire you to write a letter to your own inner child.
 
Letter to my 3-year-old-self
In this letter I will not get to address all of you, my inner children. But please know that whether in writing, through dance, through tears, through chant, I will find you, witness your pain, honor your wisdom and bring you home to me.

So little 3-year-old, there you were so adorably cute, curly hair, big eyes, easy smile, bubbly with excitement about this world.

Then the first death happened.

Mom, who loved you so much, who took joy in your wonder and awe, who held and cuddled you.  That mom died.

And the strangest, most crazy-making thing was that to others she still seemed alive. She looked and sounded the same. But you knew the truth.

From that moment on your mom never looked at you the same. She didn’t hold you the same. The mother who you loved, trusted, ran to, was gone.
