From Darkness to Light - How do we get there? It Is Time For A Journey

 LIFE…

Life can move so fast, or it can feel like you are standing still, stuck in the muck. Living in the trenches as you are trying to push forward. The questions are - Why are you stuck? What is holding you down? How are you going to be released?

The time has come for you to take a peek. Take at peek at your inner self and see what is going on. What is holding you back from a life of freedom and self worth? Who is to blame? Who has the key?

The blame can fall on many different shoulders. It depends on what you have been through in your life and where you have placed it. The KEY to all of this is extremely difficult and simple at the same time.

Start by taking a look, then make the brave steps towards facing your fears, pains and trauma. Draw from your inner strength and use your raw determination to overcome what has held you down for so long. Do not let “the beast” win in YOUR game of life.

I always say, “Start at the beginning”. Take a bit of time for reflection, write down your thoughts and feelings. Journal life experiences all the way back to when you were a child. We all once felt that childhood innocence before it was ripped away from us. Start there and go piece by piece. AS you dig through the rubble, parts of you will begin to feel lighter as time goes on. Piece by piece you will shed that suit of armor that has held you captive for so long, and you will begin to swim.

When you find yourself in this moment. Swim for your life, fight harder for yourself then anyone has ever fought for you before. You are your own champion in this story.

Keep on swimming!!!

Once you make it to shore, that internal shipwreck will be NO more.

You have found your path towards healing, and even though the waters will be cloudy and dark for a bit, and waves may continue to battle your soul; you will hit that sandbar and the tides will shift.

When you begin to turn around, you will see the light. That is where your victory lies.

Embrace the Journey,

God Bless

SHIPWRECK OF TIME

Time in a bottle for us to keep for eternity…

Sailing on through life fighting off the heaviness of the night, seeking

Light…

What is wrong or right how do we handle the gloom of the past, life racing so fast what is truly Everlast?

In the depths of dark waters buried so deep the shipwreck of sorrow weeps…

Cold and lonely this inner bilge desolate rooms water filled.

Creaking and cracking on the ocean floor… waves of emotion keep you from shore.

In the depths of hell with concrete feet the heaviness so strong total defeat!

Crawling and creeping your way, trying to make it through each passing day…

Internal strength will give you the might --  as long as your crawling defeating the night…

Up the stairs to the bow is your place to be, but how do you get there hoping to be free…

You twist – You pull – with all that you got -- hearing those smoke stacks bellow and pop…  

Guided by the sounds of true fight -- your intuitive guidance calling the rights!

Making your way to the front of the bow, your victory spot – smooth sailing now.

Always move forward are the words that we hear, our spiritual soul is always

near.

No more bleak and dismal emptiness for you – A life warrior true and true…

Oceans so blue and shining so bright you have made it out of the darkness

Forever Light…
