My life has been impacted, shaped and re-created by what I call Life ruptures
A Rupture is something traumatic that occurs in Life that interrupts it, disintegrates it—such as a heart-wrenching breakup, death, job loss
Life is not the same after experiencing a Rupture
I used to think that the divorce I went through and my mom’s death were the major ruptures that impacted my Life
But as I’ve grown in my ability to hold myself psychologically, emotionally and spiritually, I’ve become strong enough to revisit even older, deeper, core Ruptures
Including an engagement breakup 20 years after it happened and a college breakup that I can now acknowledge impacted every romantic relationship I’ve been in since
As I’ve deepened as a human being willing to see ruptures as part of Life and to grow through the normal pain of being human, I’ve begun living my Life as a true journey and continuing to travel it, in spite of the inner and outer obstacles that surface
Not only have I learned to meet my Life Ruptures
Letting them crack me open and transform me
(Even if I get stuck in victimhood for a while 😊)
and facing the challenges they present,
I’ve learned to meet Life, to surf its varied waves
I’ve also learned that my desires and my life purpose are to experience deep intimacy, vitality and wholeness in three major areas of Life—with myself, with a partner and with a purpose
I’ve learned to begin holding the opposites within me (masculine and feminine, shadow and light, sacredness and sexuality)
And without (through partnership and sovereignty) and (purpose and play)
With Flexibility and surrender
Ultimately
I’ve learned to Trust Life
And this is my Purpose
To help others meet Life in this way
Leaning into it
Opening to it
Trusting it
Even experiencing the pleasure in it
The pleasure of being Alive and experiencing Life’s different, ever-changing textures
Through this journey with Rupture—because of this journey—I’ve become a self-empowerment coach who teaches others (right along with myself) to become our own coaches, therapists, midwives—for as we do this beautiful work, we are most definitely giving birth to our Selves
And this years long path has led me ever deeper into what it means to human, while holding our humanness, as we boldly walk in the direction of our desires, and destiny
And I’m honored and humbled and proud to say that this path has directly led me to the next step on my Life journey
This new part of the path begins in a couple of weeks
I hope you’ll continue to join me on the journey.
Much Life and Love to you ❤️🙏🏻
