Since I can remember, I have had an insatiable curiosity around the different paths of Science and Spirituality.  When I was in elementary school, I started attending a local church that I was allowed to walk to by myself.  I would take notes and gather pamphlets and take them home to study.  Then I would write a sermon and deliver it to my stuffed animals lined up on my bed.  I like to think of Science (the rather masculine type) and Spirituality (the rather feminine type) as two star crossed lovers speaking different languages. Soulmates by design, yin and yang, and my favorite couple despite the controversy.

After a rough childhood, I began single motherhood at the age of 20 with no help. I was a broke college student surviving on a scholarship, a part time job and rose colored glasses. Everything worked out though, within a few years I married a man who also had a daughter from a previous relationship. He adopted my daughter and we had two more children together. We raised our family in the suburbs for 16 years and built a better life than we had ever known before. Finances were fairly secure and even great at times, we both worked very hard. I loved motherhood and was able to stay at home with them for several of the years.  However, I was unhealed from childhood trauma and my husband was an addict, so there were very sad and scary times. 

I didn't realize how dark it was because it had become normal. I was in survival and self sabotaging without even realizing. I felt unfulfilled and sad often.  Eventually I left the marriage and I know that the strength to do so came from the knowledge I had found when I would escape into my books mostly all connected to Science or Spirituality. 

NOW, I have reached a place of deep fulfillment and happiness. I can observe someone in a line at a grocery store and truly fall in love with something about them. Or I can spend a weekend with family and friends and feel as though I might explode with joy for so many beautiful moments.  This is the gift I want to share, I want everyone to be able to feel this much joy! It is your Birthright and is easier to access than you believe.
