Whoever said, "To teach is to learn twice," was spot-on.

My new blog is only in its baby stages but I can already feel my empowered self rising from the ashes.

See, when I was younger I was so excited to be on this Earth. I couldn't wait to be a grown-up and live a thrilling life that wasn't based off of someone else's template but was my own creation. Fast forward 25 years into this lifetime, and I guess you could say that the novelty of being on the planet this time around had worn off for me. I went from living an abundant life that I had indeed manifested to my delight, to living instead like many others seemed to be--struggling, hard up for food and money... I even went through a homeless phase, sleeping in the car and not knowing where to use the bathroom or take a shower next.

What a contrast that experience was from all my childhood and teenage dreams. For a few moments there, I felt incredibly broken because this was me--ME!--of the grand plans and the refined tastes going through some arguably unsavory times. You could say that my ego took one heck of a beating.

The process of both literally and figuratively getting back on my feet and retrieving my bearings took roughly 5 years, but you know what? I don't wish that any of what I went through never happened. While I have gladly reclaimed my birthright to all things wonderful--which is yours as well, if you want it--I wouldn't rather not have grown into who I am today and who I'm growing more and more into every day as a result of those experiences. That time in my life has given the service I offer the planet a flavor of understanding firsthand what it's like to be in such a challenging position.

With this post I am basically sending love and appreciation to all who benefit from what I do. Thank you for being part of my life. Without you, I wouldn't be putting my thoughts out into the world and hearing myself think out loud in the process. I am reminded of my Divinity with each moment I encourage you to remember yours.

Many blessings your way, dear friends. I'll talk to you again soon...!


Much love,
~Lea
