DAY ONE
I’ve been looking for answers all my life. I searched for that “something” since I was a kid not knowing what it was that I was looking for. But I always knew there was something else out there, something that I needed to get, that I needed to understand, something I needed to appreciate but I had no clue what it was. I thought that it could be some kind of guidance, a light like some say, an understanding… something. Not God because I have always believed in God but something bigger than me. I searched in many different ways: through therapy, through meditation, through crystals, through spiritual retreats, seminars, workshops, self-help books, you name it. But no matter what I did, I could not find that path to follow that I so desperately needed. Since my childhood was not very happy, I was blind in many ways, I did not know better. It was hard to understand what I was looking for or why but I knew there was something out there that I needed to find.
During the recession in 2008, things got even harder for me. Two years ago I hit bottom and I lost all hope. I was broke, I could not move due to back problems, I was stressed out and depressed and I desperately needed something to hold on to. I remembered at the beginning of January, that the year before a friend of mine had mentioned some lady who, according to her, was an excellent “life coach and spiritual guide.” I only had a name and the town where she had her office but no address or phone number. I looked her up, found her quickly and emailed her right away asking her to please see me as soon as possible. We met two days later and the rest is history. My life changed completely after that glorious day.
The best thing about finding the perfect guidance for you is being able to connect with yourself again, being able to see what you cannot see when life is busy and loud, when money is tight and there is a lot going on. Honestly, a new me was born last year. I truly saw the light and became the real me thanks to this wonderful coach. And let me tell you, if I could do it, anybody can. I had the worst attitude, I always attracted horrible people (cause I was horrible too!), I believed that I had bad luck, I was bitter, angry and depressed all the time, and I truly thought people wanted to hurt me. Poor me, poor me, poor me… My entire life was spent thinking that “others” did terrible thing to me, like I had no control over what happened to me at all… boy, was I wrong… This coach showed me things I did not want to see, like the victim in me for instance. I could not admit being a victim and yet “they” always did horrible things to me. What a rude awakening!
