"If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give."
-George MacDonald
My spiritual beliefs started at very young age. I knew from the onset of my existence that there was a higher being, or God overseeing the world I inhabited. As a child I was extremely intuitive. I strongly felt the emotions of others, and more times than not I would just simply know things. I have always displayed a deep fascination for the existence of angels and fairies. Somehow I knew deep down inside these “Unknowns” existed, and I was drawn to any sources that could reinforce what I already knew.
“Faith is the bird that feels the light And sings when the dawn is still dark.”
-Rabindranath Tagore
My parents tried very hard to instill religious beliefs into my life. I spent most of my childhood rebelling against these beliefs. The idea of following rules or rituals really didn't resonate with me, but somewhere deep in my soul there was an instinctual understanding of these expressions: Faith, Love, Hope, and Joy. These spiritual beliefs were deeply placed in my heart and soul, and I knew these ideas would play a key role in guiding me to my life's purpose. I also innately understood that these spiritual expressions would assist me in facing some very wonderful and challenging life experiences.
It wasn't until I reached the age of thirty-five that my heart began to reopen to these innate beliefs. A new me was beginning to form at this time, but my little growth spurt was quickly deterred by my inability to fully trust or see. It took many more years before I finally realized that I was being attended to by some very loving angels. I was surprised to discover that the control I thought I had over my life really didn't exist. This is when I began to truly let go of my desire for control, and begin the process of reawakening my spiritual self.

Well, here I am today. The real me is coming alive, and all the stuff I held tightly onto is beginning to fall by the wayside. My heart and soul, is once again reaffirming the fact that my true desires align with the genuine compassion I have for life and the wonderful people who dwell within it; and for the first time in a very long time, I know without a doubt that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
“Walk with me. Put your agenda away and come with me. Follow me.”
-George MacDonald
