Writing In Gratitude, Offered With Love

I would like to write about how grateful I am to be turning 48 this month and why.

Life hasn’t given me a lot to be grateful for so I have decided to be grateful for life.

I Have Not Always Been a Grateful Person

I was a very angry kid and an even angrier teenager. I suffered extreme abuse and survived heinous acts perpetrated upon me. Not only done to me but done by those who were supposed to protect me against such things. Either by their direct abuse or by their neglect and silence. I’ll link a part of the story here.

Beaten and molested, kicked out at 12 only to be gang-raped at 13. I was a heroin addict by 13, a full-blown junkie by 18. I would end up strung out on heroin for the better part of 3 decades.

I would get to such a low point that I took my own life at 39 years old, 3 months shy of my 40th birthday. I had been using heroin for so long that I could see no way out. That story is here.

After my brush with death, I would spend the next 5 years incarcerated and find an amazing new purpose for living. I began to heal my trauma and in turn heal my addiction. I wrote a new narrative that is the story of me, a tale of courage, pain, forgiveness, and most importantly Love. That story is here.

My Tale Is Not a Tragedy, It Is a Saga

I have been through trials. I have sat with demons intent on my demise and stood in control. I have sacrificed my life at the alter of Fear and arose from the ashes of Love. My Spirit has been forged in the fires of Pain and Suffering, tempered in the cold, bitter sadness of neglect and abandonment.

I AM A SLAYER OF DRAGONS!!!

I have walked this Earth for thousands of years in hundreds of forms. I have fought, kicked, clawed, cried, died, and been reborn to be here today and I am fucking amazing.

I am a Spiritual Warrior on the Shamanic Path. I am an initiate in the 9 rites of the Munay Ki and a Master Energy Healer.

I have chosen to use My Power for Healing, and I am Powerful.

I know and appreciate all that I have gone through to reach this point in my life, and it is the process that I am eternally grateful for. It is for the beatings, the rape, the molestation, the abandonment, the neglect.

To have been to the depths of depravity that I have been to at other's hands as well as my own is an honor. I am so thankful for the hurt because it taught me to appreciate what I have, and not be ungrateful for what I do not.

For 33 years I prayed for death. When finally I sought her out she rejected my advance. My time had not yet come and there were a host of Angels to turn me back.

And I have not squandered my gift. I have continued my personal healing while devoting my life to helping others. My entire paradigm now is modeled around abundance. There is now nor has there ever been a lack of anything of value.

I do not mean material value, I mean valuable to your Soul. Like the song says…

“What the world needs now, is love, sweet love…” Dionne Warwick

After 48 years I have learned to love my critics. I used to believe the people below me would shout up to me that I couldn’t climb higher, and I would lower myself to their level. I believed them because I felt I deserved no better. Today I am grateful for the haters. they inspire me to climb to greater heights.

I have no malice, only loving-kindness.

This is my mission, to help others to Know Love as I Know Love.

It is a mission I hope to never complete.

After all, I’m just happy to be on the food chain at all.

As always be well,

~Namaste
