I used to think I knew a lot, storing facts in my brain thinking I was smarter, wiser and better than most others. Giraffes don’t have vocal chords. Human hair grows approximately six inches in a year. The moon is 238,857 miles away… and if I had a way of getting there I probably would have gone.In my childish eyes, the world was big, ugly and mean, and I spent most of my time searching for my corner but always ending up in the center of my universe.
Over years of trial and error, eating disorders, self destructive behavior and a powerful drug addiction I found myself in the arms of G-D. I learned that everything I knew meant nothing. The more I tried to manipulate others with my brains and talents, the more I thought I was my own G-D, and I wasn’t.Everything about me, the good and the not good, was given to me by G-D.
When I embrace all parts of me, I become a whole person.
Knowing this has opened me up to experiencing a journey to finding my true authentic self, and this is what I’ve learned thus far.
