I thought I was a bad-ass when I tackled life from the perspective that it was me against the world. My mother programmed me to believe that the world was a hostile place and women had an uphill climb—both ways—in order to achieve success. Of course, there was also the option of finding a man to take care of me so I could retire my “climbing shoes.” But that’s not something my mother ever did.
Like all journeys, returning to our Self can either take us down a bumpy path or a smooth one. I liken this to either riding the scary rollercoaster or enjoying the peaceful ride in the Love Tunnel. Our level of awareness determines which path we take. What’s awareness? Having a clear understanding of what our Life Journey is all about.
Learning to have faith in God has been huge for me. But magically, it is faith in God that has made the last several months some of the most magnificent in my life. Besides my very fun 14th birthday party, giving birth and adopting my children, and partying in my kitchen with my Chestnut Creek neighborhood friends, some of the most unforgettable experiences just happened recently!!!
I had an extremely personal and deeply emotional experience yesterday I know I am meant to share with you. I went for my morning run, around 6:30, as the sun was beginning to awaken. I was 3/4 of the way finished when I began to run uphill. I was witnessing the birth of a new day.
