Truth be told, I had the idea for this blog well over a year ago. If only I had listened to that guidance when I first received it! But as I sit here and write my first blog post, I realize that is exactly the point. I didn’t start this blog then, because I didn’t realize at the time that I’d even received any guidance.
You see, I am pretty new in the realm of spirituality (and blogging, for that matter). I’ve always had a sense that there was something more, and have always been intrigued by psychics and mediums. I’ve always believed in signs, and had a vague idea that I’d received them from time to time. There have been a handful of occasions where I was convinced that my “guardian angel” had prevented accidents or injuries – lost car keys keeping me off the highway during the time of a big accident, skidding through a stop sign on black ice and miraculously avoiding oncoming traffic. A perfectly timed song already playing when I turned on the car – “You Need to Calm Down” – just when I did, in fact, need to calm down.
But it was about a year and a half ago when I very suddenly had a strong interest in learning more. All of a sudden, I needed to find my life’s purpose. And thus began my spiritual journey, because as I learned, all of the books and resources on the topic dive deep into sprituality. I found myself very overwhelmed because all of the authors of the books I read were so experienced, so sure. I remember wondering how they got there, how they became so sure.
And so the idea was formed – I should start a blog. Share my experience of becoming spiritual so that people could learn with me in real time. Maybe start a community of other newbies. Learn from others. Grow with others. But then life happened, and I continued on my quest to find my life’s purpose, seeking signs on what I should do next. My quest for finding that life purpose… well it brought me back to this very blog idea. We’ll dive much deeper into all of this in my subsequent posts. But for now, thank you for taking the time to read this first (and very long time coming) post. Chat soon!
