I’ve always been confused as to why it is people seem to think that just because one is on a healing journey, everything is love and light. This theory couldn’t be further from the truth. The fact is, once you decide to heal from that which attempted to break you, things get extremely dark.
You are ultimately agreeing to willingly and soberly go through the pain that you have stuffed. You make the choice to face it, over and over and relive it again and again. All in the name of conquering that trauma, healing that brokenness by moving through it all.
Shattering yourself relentlessly, until you can finally come to terms within yourself and you can forgive the ones who have wronged you. And you can forgive yourself for remaining in the victim mindset, holding yourself captive.
Freeing oneself from the toxicity. It is strength and a choice that is made regularly. Life can actually be extra hard for these individuals a majority of their lives. Building their character, enforcing a certain structure to be born within their very souls, in order to equipped them for that inner mission.
All while remaining peaceful along the way. Each hurt that they overcome, gaining more courage for the next battle, internally and externally. Learning to save their energies, for those deep soul wars. For these individuals, “we” learn early not to waste our reserves.
So…..thinking we are weak, or naïve….is on that of the ignorant. We have fought our entire lives, battles that forged us into warriors. That have forced us into emotional mastery. Having the pride and ego broken down to the point, it can hardly be recalled. Humility is what remains.
The ego has been slaughtered slowly with every lie, betrayal and malice that has been handed down to us. Our energy is a commodity of great value now and we move with sheer intention. With a confidence that speaks for itself. So…..easy it has never been. We are simply able to be our true, authentic selves unapologetically and that will always seem foreign to the ones who cannot find that intestinal fortitude within themselves.
Thinking it should somehow appear a certain way. Most healing is done in isolation therefore the tears, the screams and the turmoil is never truly known.

Freeing up our minds space to fully understand that things are not as they seem in the here and now. Realizing that true consciousness is more about self- revelation verses external realization. Grasping the knowledge that the world we see around us is simply an illusion, one meant to entrap us a long our life’s mission.
We are all here on a soul’s purpose. It isn’t until we are able to completely grasp that, that we can begin the journey. We are guided and led by our senses verses our sight. What we see is meant to distract. It will take most of us life times to really understand this. And some will never.
The lives that we each live and are meant to walk have all been drafted out for us prior to our birth. Each life encounter is shrouded with breadcrumbs and clues about our mission, meant to wake us up to that knowledge along the way.
Situations and circumstances are meant to trigger specific behaviors and emotions that will stimulate us into the next phase. We are guided and led by our energetic senses. But first we must go through a series of trials and turbulations that will grow our internal trust within ourselves.
Every encounter is a stepping stone of wisdom and growth leading us into and through the labyrinth of our own personal soul’s mission.
I felt tales from the wreckage to be an appropriate title for this page, for many reasons. The most prominent being the violence of it all. The amount of psychological endurance that is needed is really quite staggering, to say the least.
As I began this website, it was years of introspect and a lot of time spent isolated outside of work related endeavors. But the journey, for me has never really ended. I've had moments where trials and tribulations have let up here and there but for the most part, I have had to find happiness in the midst of storms my entire life.
It has taught me that no matter where you are on this journey and no matter how far you have come, no matter what you may be experiencing in the moments, You must find that peace within yourself in order to maintain your strength and courage.
I have also found that no matter how many people you may have around you, you still must face this journey alone. This life is yours to wield in the manner you see fit. And although the road can sometimes feel lonely, you learn to give yourself all that is required to push ahead.
You will feel stretched beyond your means and you may be taken down a road, or two or three that you can not instantly see your way out of. Those are times where you will need to sit with yourself and quiet everything around you, in order to find that required solace.
I have found that people will not always understand your ways of doing things in a society that thrives on group mentalities. You must lead by example. People may not understand but they will watch. They may even criticize the things they do not understand.
This is where you guide simply by being who you are. By not giving up and not giving in, you are teaching others how to be courageous and bold within their own lives. How to stand solid on your own. Showing that even though it may be nice to have people around you, It is not something that is necessarily needed.
Once you are fully comfortable and content going through life's challenges alone, and truly content with your own company, it is only then that you are able to choose the ones you wish to allow in.
Life is not easy and it can be extremely messy. This journey is not handed to you in a clean, bow wrapped package ready to open and run off with. It is more like a glass portrait that was shattered and you were birthed in the center of and must put back together.

As we walk through our lives, some will be negligent with their thoughts and behaviors to those around them. They will be oblivious to consequence and actions, self-absorbed in their care. What is it, that we seek? And what may be the cost we are willing to pay?
Do we not understand that our actions yield our gains? We may appear to be winning, but at what? Do not be trapped by the illusions.
