“We all experience the new and the unknown, but few of us see the unknown as a force that is beckoning us. The unknown contains clues to another reality.
“What are those clues? They change every moment, but if you look closely at any image the world presents to you, more of your own self will start peering back.
“The seeming randomness of events will begin to resolve into form and meaning, as if a part of yourself is saying, ‘I’m here. Can you find me?’
“Chance meetings, unexpected coincidences, premonitions that come true, sudden fulfillment of wishes, flashes of unpredictable joy, a sense of deep knowingness, the dawn of trust—all of these are shapes reality can take as it coaxes us out of our self-made prisons.
“We don’t have to listen to this beckoning whisper. The choice is entirely personal. A decision must be made, in the recesses of your heart, between the known, which is stale but familiar, and the unknown, which is fresh, a field of infinite possibilities.”
~Deepak Chopra from The Way of the Wizard: Twenty Spiritual Lessons for Creating the Life You Want

I am just beginning a new and amazing phase in my life at age 41. My spirit and soul completely suffocated, mind defeated and heart broken, I walked out on my job when a patients safety was at risk. Soon there after I was so damaged, my heart and soul pouring out, depleted of who I was, the values and morals I held most sacred and dear lost. My mind took over in an out of control fight mode in an effort to gain control and save the rest of me, resulting in negative self destructive behavior that damaged not only myself but the one thing I held most sacred and crushed my beloved. He is a strong man. Did not flee. Has continued to stand by me through my mental illness diagnosis. He ihas saved my life in so many ways. I am Finally heading in a direction of light, drawn to the unknown, which is very scary at times, because I was just diagnosed as bipolar. I am seeing it as the opportunity to be myself, focus on the caring nurturing me that was unfulfilled working in healthcare for over half of my life 12yrs as a RN. I feel drawn to share the wisdom I have and the caring nurturing spirit love somewhere else, where I don’t know yet. I think I must learn how to nurture and care for myself first. I have been joined with a brand new sisterhood circle that just began on my new moon- Virgo! I am learning about the moon cycles, etc. Many things I have felt drawn to that that I just didn’t know how to identify. Things my old soul already knows, apparently. So many things I have held tightly inside, from everyone for fear of making them uncomfortable, rejecting me because they don’t get it. I have been through many friendships because of my over giving nature. Due to my years of hurt and damaged soul. Not knowing how to nurture myself while nurturing everyone else. I am in search of healing, learning, and sharing. I feel I am a leader and great nurturer. I have been told that the sound of my voice is very calming and healing. I look forward to the greatness and light that is ahead for me. I have let go of clinging to relationships with others, as I gain strength within myself to begin my journey of enlightenment, willing to travel it without the familiar beloved I have had for twenty years if necessary. If he is not able to emotionally forgive. As I say this, tears well within my eyes and the song City of Blinding Lights begins playing by U2. I realize I can only loose that which I cling to. My heart and my soul have been shared here today, for the very first time. During my time this morning I realized my soul cried out I need trees! So that I’m sure is a guide for my internal compass. I am from the South and found my way west to Arizona, in search of who I really am, never feeling my soul was a part of where I came from. Thank you for this blessed vessel of love, wisdom, encouragement and support. I am reading an entry each morning hoping to be led to better understanding of myself and how to become centered and balanced.

Dear Renee, I’ve only just read your amazing story of love, courage and honesty, thank you, such and inspiration! It’s now 2017, and I wonder how you are and where you are at? I’m not sure if you will get this message. I just want to reassure you that bipolar symptoms are so very normal when you are navigating the spiritual path. You’ve taken the plunge down the ‘rabbit hole’ and there is no turning back. Sounds like you were in a spiritual crisis when you wrote your post back in 2014. Can often happen when we get serious about getting real and when we go deep. Love and Light to you dear Sister, Love, love, Jaya

Dearest Renee Meredith,
I love you and honor you for loving yourself, you can go the distant and love is waiting for you at every turn.
i am a nurse too and I know what you mean. All the position statements on bullying, etc are just that words. i want you to know there are good and great nurses with compassion and goodness and I stand with you, beside you, behind you, wherever and what ever place you need me.
Do what you must and know that you are so loved. Going through the wound will bring you back to your perfection and center that is always been you and then from this place you will heal others, help them see the love and light in you and themselves.
THANK YOU!!! for your bravery in baring you soul and know I will be always be sending you waves of compassion, healing and light.
You are a sacred being of light and we are all loving you, respecting you and honoring you and your journey. Do your thing sister!!!
Much love and aloha
