Darling beautiful friend,

I have a story for you, soul sister... because I know no other way to say "I understand your grief", than to tell it... 

In 2008, in a one-week span, I suffered a series of losses that left me stunned, angry, and spiraled me into a depression that lasted for months. My long-term partner left me, a dear friend killed herself, and another friend died suddenly of a heart attack... all within a few days of each other. A few months later, my beloved fur baby, Winston, was killed tragically and within weeks of that, my bicycle was stolen. Seems a funny thing to mention here, doesn't it? But the bicycle was a gift to me from my birth father, who has a terminal disease. It was the most wonderful of gifts, because he loved it so much and yet entrusted it to my care.

I spent a year in turmoil... deep, bitter turmoil. 

Then, in early 2009, I regathered myself and determined to pull myself out. And so for another year, I struggled to "win", beating my fists against the walls of heaven and declaring to the Universe that I would take her out and down, if need be, to get my life back.

And so for another year... life was hard... intensely HARD. I worked multiple jobs, went to school full-time in a difficult degree program, was repeatedly hospitalized in severe pain, and struggled to "stay Raw Vegan". I didn't realise then what I realise now... I had declared that I wanted life to be hard, for I truly believed that if Life wasn't hard, I wasn't doing it right. 

Then, in late 2009 a friend introduced me to Louise Hay's book YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE... and it was as if my eyes were opened and my HEART was unlocked. Instead of STRUGGLING, of FIGHTING against the flow of Life, instead of deciding to work "hard" and therefore produce more hard work for myself, I began to experience a blissful thing..... release.... ease... and HEALING.

On October 2009, I went 100% Raw with the encouragement and support of a handful of friends on an internet forum. 

All was well - life was beautiful for 6 months.

Then on March 20, 2010, I was sexually and physically assaulted by a man who for years I had loved and trusted as my closest friend. For weeks, I went through a deep depression where I screamed and beat and battered again at the walls of heaven (again). HOW DARE, after all the self-healing work I had done, how DARE the Universe betray me again? Do this to me AGAIN? 

And so I slumped back down and fed on the past, reliving the years of abuse in my childhood, reliving the rape and sexual abuse in my early 20's, reliving it all and feeding on that. 

I did not know, then, what I know now, not so very many weeks later... I did not know I could heal my Life COMPLETELY. Before the assault, I felt that I could heal the physical, but I had not even dared to touch the emotional. 

Now, I dare to reach back, to recover, and to RELEASE the past... I dare to face the times when I believed all was lost, and truly it seemed so, in my childhood and teens and early 20's... and I choose to embrace the fears, and then send them on their way.

I invite you, gentle Michelle, to join my healing journey. Join hands with me. I send my healing energy through me to YOU, and invite you to receive it.

I ALSO invite you to join a few close friends and I as we work through the book YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE in a private book study here at BodaciousLiving.com together this month and throughout the Summer. You can get the book inexpensively at Dauntless Diva if you don't already have a copy... 

Embrace the healing. It's time to release ALL of the great sadness, my friend. You are on the brink... why not, step over... leap - and the net will appear. 

"In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I am always Divinely protected and guided. It is safe for me to look within myself... All is well in my world." ~ Louise Hay, YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE


Bliss,

The Diva
