When I began this blog in April, it was on a day I woke before sunrise and literally listened to the city where I live awaken from the slumber she was in. It was such a beautiful moment for me to LISTEN to the sounds of a community beginning their day, with all the things people were to do that day, scurrying around, the hustle and bustle of modern day life as we know it. Imagine the days when it was just a matter of finding food, shelter, fire and water. Often, I know many of us wish life were as simple as that, but it is not and we have adapted and grown, just as it has been planned we would, all along. Yes, I believe that things are just as they were planned. I believe there is a master plan, but that our Free Will Choice often shifts that for us and we can get off course, causing us undue pain and suffering, but as a good friend recently told me….”pain finds us, Ali.” It is when we seek lessons that we can only learn through pain and we are ready to endure that pain, the lessons come for us to finally learn. Then the pain subsides.
As soon as I started the blog, I began to allow all of my fears sink in of what people who knew me or had known me may think when they began to read what I would write- knowing that I share a LOT of who I am in my writings and as the Divine Feminine Goddess I am, I am entitled to change my mind, say what may not always be PC and even swear at times when I feel there is no other word to describe my feelings. So, I began to “sleep” again (hence the no entries for some time now) as I feared the awakening that was desperately trying to get out of me. It was my consciousness….my inner soul, wanting to have her voice heard. For whoever may listen, to whomever may be drawn to what I was allowing myself to funnel through me into this 3 dimensional world from the outer worlds beyond time and space. So, using my humor (perceived as it may be) and fearlessness to be heard as my vehicle to reach those drawn into my sphere, I am here now, ready to begin sharing all that comes through my mind and hopefully, my soul. But not all, as I am writing a book and I need to leave something to entice you with!!!
During my “slumber” from writing, I actually accomplished a few important things in my life. I opened Guilt Free Goddess and she certainly has a mind of her own! She has taught me a lot this year as I continue to grow and enter into spaces I have never been. But again, my fearlessness approach to her has been what continues to fuel the creativity of what she brings to women for their life balance, prosperity and authentic living through self love and self honor. Encouraging them to bring all the love they find within to their own world – family, significant others, friends, colleagues, etc. It has been such a joy to watch who comes in and what they do with the things GFG exposes to them. I continue to grow from their growth and my own life continues to offer me great experiences from which to fulfill my own learning curve in the game of life! GFG has been God-Sent, I am certain of it. It has been a lifetime in the makings. Finding my voice, my inner calling, my desire to help women succeed, my love for speaking and teaching (although, knowing I am ALWAYS the student!!)…yes, GFG has been heaven for me on so many levels, many of which I do not even fully understand yet.
Anyhow, I am back and I am delighted for those of you who will be a part of this community will serve to teach and inspire others to be their best!
I have several entries coming…..I just did not want to post them all today (maybe just a few!!). But today has been a writing day that is for sure! From money to sex to politics and our Beloved Planet Earth. Topics I rarely write about, but they are coming through….so, I hope you enjoy!
Blessings and peace,
