I didn\u2019t have enough money; I couldn\u2019t even afford toilet paper, that\u2019s how broke I was. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">That\u2019s how upstream I was in my own current of well being and I was doing everything but honoring my true authentic gifts; which is questioning my heart wisdom in the form of what we would call couching, but at the time I was doing all these different things and it was the second time in my life where I considered suicide. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">And I was deeply depressed; once again I reached up to a friend and I authentically shared what was going up for me, and a book appeared, another book showed up in my life; and I opened this book up and right in the center section of this book it posed three questions: \u201cIf you had six months left to live, where would you be, who would you be with, and what would you be doing?\u201d <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">And I remember telling my friend that if I\u2019d left the doctor\u2019s office and the doctor told me I had six month left to live, I would feel relieved. That\u2019s how exhausted I was with my life; so exhausted. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">And he said \u201cwell, you\u2019re not going to off yourself, are you? Because you actually know that that\u2019s not really officially an out. You\u2019re just going to recycle back all over again to do it all over again\u201d. And I said \u201cNo, I\u2019m not going to off myself\u201d, and he said \u201cSo stay in that emotional place\u201d. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Where would you be and what would you be doing. And I had such a profound realization that I would write a spirit memoir about my life, and I would coach. And in that moment I made a commitment to the divine and I made a commitment to my own heart, that I was going to honor that completely, and I sort of made an ultimatum because I was pissed off before that. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I felt like, \u201cWhy would I not just be given the things that I was needing?\u201d and I was actually taking a path of what I thought was service, but there was still a piece that was missing. And I wasn\u2019t really honoring my authentic gifts and so I really stepped into that and within amonth\u2019stimeeverything shifted for me; and I was really having the courage to step into that and really to leap into that place of honoring my gifts and since then my life has been incredibly abundant.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">So that\u2019s a very important piece. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know that there\u2019s a lot of people right now that are diseased because they\u2019re not feeling on path, they\u2019re not feeling that they are authentically sharing their gifts, and I\u2019m reflecting on a time on my experience where once again, everything showed up in the form of money.
