After months of spiritual darkness and personal challenge, I've emerged into a place of profound peace unlike anything I've experienced before. This journey began with painful lessons as I was forced to cancel retreats I'd planned across the country, realizing they came from a place of fear rather than alignment. The universe was demanding I release my grip on control.
February marked my darkest hour. My business revenue had plummeted to the point where I couldn't cover basic expenses. Having just moved into a beautiful historic office space weeks earlier, I faced walking away from everything. After a decade of self-employment, I contemplated returning to work for someone else—a prospect that terrified me. This was my moment of complete surrender.
What happened next transformed me. When I finally released my attachment to outcomes and simply accepted whatever would come, the universe responded with abundance. March arrived like a faucet turning on—new clients, opportunities, and income flowing at quadruple my February earnings. This wasn't coincidence but divine confirmation that our greatest expansion often follows our most significant contractions.
Now I'm preparing for exciting adventures—leading retreats in Mexico and Mount Shasta, returning to my birthplace of New Orleans after eight years away. These opportunities didn't come from desperate striving but from alignment after surrendering what wasn't meant for me.
The peace I've found isn't the absence of challenges but the presence of trust within them. In a world filled with chaos, this inner peace becomes a form of spiritual activism. By standing in our light and operating from love rather than fear, we contribute to the collective evolution happening around us. Whatever you're going through, remember you're not alone—and perhaps what you need to let go of is exactly what's blocking your path forward.
