✨ Today we celebrate Diwali, “Festival of Lights,” triumph over darkness. In complete darkness I met myself. Alone and uncovered, facing the traumas of my past and present. I scanned through my entirety, my conditionings and everything I I hated about myself and sat quietly. It was a scary place, but I had to face full truth, it was time for some self elevation. The outside world wouldn’t be here to cheer me on every time I needed it to. I had to connect with the my shadows and find light on my own. I needed to be fully accountable for the wellness of my spirit. In this dark place I met my vital wild. . . I picked up Women Who Run With The Wolves back in 2009 after having my daughter, Yazi and found it to be a great read during my time at home with her. I dug deep into the teachings of Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes' , I explored self-identity and learned how to nurture my own multidimensional womanhood. I connected to who I truly was without the bells and whistles. My vital wild was me in my entirety, the “good” parts and the parts I struggled to care for. I learned that every part of my being was worthy of love and from there I worked on the unconditional safekeeping of self. . . As I continue to grow I find new ways to fill my cup so that I can pour into others. I pour into myself using yoga, meditation, journaling and a multitude of sacred rituals. My journey has afforded me opportunities to connect with other women who are on the path of self-discovery. I feel inspired to serve as a bridge to connect women with on the path of self-actualization and self-care through sustainable healing practices. It is my mission to promote the exploration of womanhood, through collective and individual wellness, this is the light that fuels my vitality. . .
