The Real Me

As I began my spiritual awakening, things shifted. The more I communicated with Spirit, the more restless I became. Who was the authentic me? What did I truly want in life? What does it mean to be a divine being?

Releasing the Need for Approval Every day, I spent time seeing myself through the eyes of the divine. I knew that my worthiness to receive love and compassion was never questioned.

Mercifully these parties are fading and will soon cease to be.
