A Story of Unearthing and Overcoming Sadness.

Releasing patterns of unworthiness, abandonment, and more.


From Sorrow to Joy



A Survivor Against the Odds


Sadness locked deep inside of her, deep down that peaks up now and again. The sadness began at the beginning when she wasn’t really wanted. Mom didn’t really want another baby and dad was an angry unstable man.


She almost wasn’t born. Moms’ pregnancy was tough – all the blows to the stomach. Physical and emotional trauma plagued her and a deep sorrow and fear. The unborn baby felt it all. Mom cried as she bled but the child’s spirit was strong and held on. The baby's spirit knew this child had to be born. She entered this world pure, whole, complete and full of life despite expectations of dread. Pitiful eyes greeted her upon entrance into the world. Maybe they knew the depth of her struggles yet to come. A fighter, a resilient spirit born into a family of abuse and sorrow.


Despite her struggle to grow she became strong. A vivacious loving child with sorrowful eyes. Full of love to give yet the light inside tainted by hurt and neglect. Those formative years taught her to be good, behave, be quiet. She was a good girl following the rules obeying, never wanting punishments. The insults always came, emotionally and physically. The patterns followed this girl in school. The taunting, teasing, punishments and more.


This young woman now, trying to make her way in a world that she only knew as cruel was often the outsider, the misfit. Eventually she gave up the battle and became her own person. Guided by a strong spirit and the kind souls (angels) along the way, she formed a life with a career, family, and friends. There were happy times but the underlying sadness prevailed hidden deep inside now. She blossomed and by all outward appearances she had the perfect happy life. Within the abyss her soul cried. It cried for release of those dark childhood traumas. She was trapped by the patterns of abuse longing to be freed.


Older and becoming wiser, she listened as her soul cried and followed the path to inner awakening (an ongoing journey). Little by little healing. Searching deep inside to heal the wounds.


As she healed, she awoke. What am I doing here, who am I? It took all her strength and courage to take a step that changed the course of her life. She started over and began her life anew. Awakening the inner child trapped for so long, now free.


Looking back this woman sees not the sorrow but the great plan the universe had and has for her. Life brought her exactly what she needed to grow and prosper. Now with new life and vitality nothing will stop her. Her growth beginning in new depths. Her heart is open. Her joy is pure.


Her message to you. Never give up your dream, your passion, your drive. Keep your heart open and know anything is possible. Live each day with passion. Enjoy each moment. Count everything, everyday, everyone as a blessing. Watch life unfold magically. Be at peace with who you are, perfect in everyway.
