Coming Out of the Closet and Into the Light

Coming out of the closet and into the Light exemplifies how this feels physically and spiritually. The warmth of the sun on my face and the embrace of a loving energy.

Coming Into the Light

My first thought is the universal recalling of near death experiences. They tell of a bright light that seems to call their souls as they prepare to leave this earthly plane. Devoid of pain, discomfort, and fear, their longing drives them forward.

Second, my name constantly reminds me of the Light.

What’s in a Name?

Did you hate your name growing up? Was it unusual, too common, or just didn’t appeal to you? In contrast, I always loved my name. Similarly, I enjoy the morning far more than the night.

Basic Beliefs are Revealed

What does this have to do with Spirituality? Everything. My innate curiosity opened doors into the hidden meaning underneath experiences. For instance, as a child, I celebrated seeing a velvet ant, intent on her mission. Furthermore, I chose to study Biology, drawing me into nature as surely as a moth is drawn to a flame.

Some would say I inherited this curiosity from my father. Nevertheless, my belief is I chose my parents before I was born. Their own life lessons mingled with mine as we walked our own paths toward destiny. Similarly, I believe the souls of my children chose me as their mother.

Taking it one step further, you reading this is related to your need to explore more deeply your own purpose, finding understanding when it appears things have gone wrong or simply answering the question, “Is this all there is?”

How Does God Fit In?

Numbers in 3’sIndeed, God is central to my life. Every bird call, butterfly landing on a flower, mosquito buzzing in my ear or repetitive numbers as I glance at my odometer, remind me that God is present all around me…all the time.

Perhaps you are wondering how to tap into this fabric of connection.
Here’s one pathway.

Today I Come Out of the Closet

Today I come out of the closet. First, I don’t wish to offend anyone in the LBGTQ community and certainly not any of my friends in this community. Rather, I want to explore a different closet… the closet where other like-minded spiritual friends joined me in keeping our beliefs secret.

What Prompted This Opening Up?

As I prepared my Asian Chicken Soup, pictured above, my thoughts transported me back in time and space to Denver, Colorado 2014. The faces of the women who shared this soup with me came into focus. Their giggles mixed with mine as we filled our soup bowls in the basement kitchen of our teacher’s office space. Next, we settled into the sofa, or chairs in the sitting area. The silence broken by quiet sounds of contentment.

Our Common Ground

We gathered every three weeks or so to learn about ourselves and our special gifts. The class title, “Psychic and Personal Development”, had been shortened to simply “Personal Development” in my mind. Only later did I realize the importance of this class and its affect on me. Milestone steps in our development often escape us when they are happening.

Each of us had come to know our teacher, Kim Moore, in different ways. When she asked how I found her, she was very surprised. It was through a book recommended by a fellow employee at the Denver Police Department. Although he was also in the closet, his intuition prompted him to share. Within this book was the author’s recommended professional psychics and mediums by state. Although there were two in the Denver area, I was clearly drawn to Kim.

A Very Special Group

Apparently, this class was also pivotal for Kim. She decided it would be her last. We all loved watching her rise to a featured speaker at the Mind, Body, Spirit Celebration. Now I am privileged to know Meredith Johnson, The Healing Hummingbird, who will make your debut in the Cincinnati event.

Stayed tuned for more next week…

Taking Action is the Next Step

Taking action is the next step. Yet how do you know when it’s time for action?

Some Signs to Take Action

Resistance

Does resistance often rear its ugly head in your life? Even though you know in your gut you want something different, there is an obstacle blocking you.

Perhaps it takes form as:

  • avoidance
  • distraction
  • self-doubt

Let’s delve a little further.

Recognition that Action is Needed

A good friend has been encouraging me to help her with writing for months. She had already taken her own first step by launching a newsletter.

When I read the newsletter welcome email, my natural inclination to help led me to make an edit suggestion. The author was overjoyed.

Then she requested help with her website copy. There was one stipulation. I must give her a way to pay for my help.

Whoa! Suddenly, this specific request felt different in my body. My chest felt lighter and I knew, taking action is the next step.

Let’s recap what happened.

  1. My natural desire to help led me to speak up
  2. The recipient’s acceptance led to a request
  3. My self-doubt was replaced by a lightness in my body
  4. The physical change led to taking action

Expand on the First Action

The framework to launch this new method of energy exchange was already in place. Yes, the exchange of coin is simply a different way to identify energy movement.

Now I have a clearer understanding of how I can help like-minded, spiritually based light workers. Often, we all need another pair of eyes with a fresh perspective. In a different way, this need can manifest as an opportunity to talk, unload, in an atmosphere of compassion without judgement.

My Offer to You

As a licensed health coach and published author, I offer my experience, compassion, and willingness to help in an atmosphere of openness. I’ve created a special place for this collaboration to give birth to a happier, more fulfilled you. A New World Dawning awaits your next step.
