My Spiritual Journey
I’ve always considered myself a spiritual person. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a relationship with a Higher Power, whether it be God, Jesus Christ, or a Power greater than me. Growing up in a relatively small town, I lived a sheltered life. My spiritual foundation was wrapped around Christianity. I wasn’t exposed to a lot of things, including other religions, until later when I was in my mid-twenties, in college and out on my own. In this blog I’m going to share my spiritual journey. I want to stress that this is MY journey and MY experience. What I have found to work for me, might not work for others and vice versa. My hope is that you read with an open heart and open mind.
The Birth Of The Ash Tree Home
I am not an expert in Self-Care. I’m simply a middle-aged, overly stressed, highly anxious, frustrated, at times extremely intense woman, desperately seeking a way to eliminate decades of poor life choices and health habits. This blog was not, I repeat WAS NOT created to portray myself as an expert. If you’re seeking a self-care expert or information on how to properly engage in Self-Care, there are thousands of “experts” on the internet. Trust me, I’ve looked.
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
I don’t think I fully recovered from Covid for several months. I started to gain more weight and reached the heaviest I’ve ever been. I was and am considered obese. My blood pressure was up, so was my cholesterol. My body was giving me those warning signs again. My Dr told me I had some choices to make. Go on medication or make serious lifestyle changes. If I didn’t do something immediately, I could have a heart attack or stoke within a year. Yup! That scared me! Hello Costa Rica!
