I AM

2009-09-12T21:36:00.000-07:00

There are times that I find it hard to voice, I AM. Oh sure, it's easy to say I am tired or I am hungry. It is the times when I am saying, I AM a Writer,or I AM an Artist or even I AM a Reiki Master that I find awkward.

Why is it so hard to acknowledge who I am? My true self,the self that I have nurtured and cared for. The self that is important to me,not that the other I Ams are not. It is just different. If you see me with my children you know that I AM a mom,the same goes for being out with my husband.

I feel when I am voicing the true I AM,that a part of me is pushed out into the open. A part that feels vulnerable and unprotected. A piece that feels terrified and afraid of criticism. When situations present themselves and it is an opportunity to share these parts of me,I often hold back and stay quiet.

This is a lesson that I am working on now in this point of my life. As I take a deep breath and release my fears I will proudly tell you:

I AM a Writer * I AM an Artist * I AM a Reiki Master

The Sacred House

The Sacred House isn't about where you live or who your neighbors are.

The Sacred House is about what lives inside you and what your hopes and dreams are.

For years I struggled along my path,not knowing where I fit in or if I fit into the scheme of things larger than myself. I was raised Catholic,but my upbringing revealed to me many more layers of who I am and who my Ancestors were.

I am not religious though I am Spiritual and I do not believe that any one Religion is better than the other.

This blog will serve as my journal that I can reflect back on and see how I've grown as a person, as well as, in my Spiritual journey.
