Celebrating My Own Becoming
June is one of my favorite months - it’s my birthday month, and I’ve always loved celebrating birthdays. Not just mine, but also those of the people dearest and nearest to my heart. I also love that June marks the beginning of summer, with all the warmth, vibrancy, and energy the season brings.
As I grow older - perhaps a little wiser, a little more attuned to my heart and its longings, I’m realizing something profound:
What I’ve been searching for all along… is ME.
I don’t need to seek approval outside of myself.
I don’t need love from someone else to feel whole.
I don’t need financial abundance or stability to be handed to me.
And I certainly don’t need anyone to give me the life of my dreams.
It’s taken over 50 years to understand that the longing I carried, the belief that something or someone outside of me would fulfill me, was rooted in a false story.
A story planted long ago by voices that didn’t know any better.
And yet…I hold no grievances. No blame. No bitterness.
In their place, I’ve cultivated something far more powerful:
Strength, Fortitude, Clear Knowing, Independence, Trust, Faith.
And a deep, unshakable connection to the Source within me coupled with a mantra that Dr. Wayne Dyer often shared …
“I’ll see it when I believe it.”
Does this waver at times? Absolutely.
I call it the dance of remembering and forgetting.
But on a foundational level, I know:
My compass has shifted, and it now points firmly toward my own truth - my inner strength, unwavering fortitude and trust.
I’ve put my stake in the ground and made a sacred decision…
To break the generational pattern that ends with me.
To no longer carry a legacy that does not belong to my soul.
To stop passing down stories that were never mine to begin with.
This, too, is a form of love.
A devotion to healing.
A commitment to truth.
A vow to future generations:
That freedom is possible and that wholeness is mine.
I offer grace to those who unknowingly imprinted their own tainted lens onto my innocent heart. Because now I see clearly: the life of my dreams lives within me.
And I’m here for it. All of it.
The softening. The returning. The becoming.
Welcome, June. I’m ready 💝
And this year, I celebrate my own becoming.
““And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.””
Becoming the person I never believed I could be…
After living for years at war within myself - uncomfortable in my own skin - something began to shift. The inner battle slowly gave way to a softening, an expansion I once only dreamed of, rooted in confidence, trust, and a steady, ongoing practice of self-love.
The dream of leading retreats, teaching yoga, and offering spiritual insights and practices that light up my soul - on the good days, the hard days, and everything in between, has become my reality. Not because I forced it, but because I practiced patience and a deep knowing that Grace - the quiet, sacred current that flows beneath everything - is always there like wind on my back.
Because I believed in myself like my life depended on it—which it did, and still does.
Because of the beautiful souls who resonate with my vibe, and trust me to hold space for their inner being to flourish, settle, heal and come back home to themselves.
I remain humbled and deeply moved each day. With a heart wide open.
Just last week, I had the honor of guiding 24 beautiful souls on Align with Grace - a retreat rooted in presence, connection, and deep inner remembering of what it means to live a life seeped in Grace.
Right after, I took time to fill my own cup, immersing myself in a sacred medicine retreat that nourished me on every level and gently brought me back into the role of student, stripped of all I thought I knew.
It was nothing short of sacred, each moment infused with Grace, Self Realization and a coming back home to Presence.
I
I look forward to where this inner transformation will continue to lead me, and how it will gracefully unfold in the life I create ♡
Stay tuned…xo
