LET’S WANDER, YOU WILD THING.

They say that everything in our lifetime happens for a reason; My Brightside gets down with that! Looking back at my life, I can’t help but feel immensely grateful. I used to think life just hits, and your either lucky or unlucky, but in time my experiences opened my eyes to realize life is so much more than that. Some of the moments I’ve lived through are so rare, so unique, so unexplainable— But this is what makes them so real. There was a time when I looked up at the sky in tears, praying for salvation, feeling helpless and I was heard. To have the ability to recognize darkness in our souls, to know the power of love for one another, to be human enough to own that there’s both in all of us. The moment of knowing and truly embracing humility, makes all the difference. Being awaken doesn’t mean you wake up one day having experienced an epiphany and are now completely transformed and enlightened. It means hanging on through broken moments and trusting your intuition until you slowly begin to see clarity. I feel so connected to an immense universe, a higher power. One that wanted my presence here today. So then I asked myself, why? On the exterior I’m just a 35-year-old single woman, with no kids of her own, no hidden talents, or extravagant success stories but inside this illuminated soul is so much more, and I won’t give up. I may not know why I’m different, or why I was saved but I’m going to live every last day making it my best because of it. I know I’m not alone. Join me on this journey!
