Yesterday was my re-birthday.

I have adjusted my “bearing”.

It is the nineteenth anniversary of when I rolled my jeep and walked away.

The healing to my life is almost more than I can describe.

I knew that I had to pay attention, that I had been given another chance.

I listened very deeply as I sat on the couch in my upstairs bedroom.

In addition to the physical healings, I learned how to listen very deeply indeed.

I kept sitting there, listening inwardly, very, very deeply.

Much to my surprise, the message I received after about six weeks, was “prosperity”.

I was irritated.

I was looking for a spiritual message.

I had been trying to fix my life when I realized where I was after more than fifty years of life.

I “should” have been doing better.

I “should” have accomplished more.

I “should” have been in a better financial position.

Now that my children were adults, I “should” have been in a better state.

Since I was not in a position to do anything else, I continued listening within.

I continued the dialogue which had started through journaling.

I wrote to get my thoughts on paper.

Then I wrote to see what the answer was.

What gradually emerged was a new vocabulary to describe myself as I gained new language to redirect my life.

I began to listen to Wallace Wattle’s book, “The Science of Getting Rich”.

I discovered “The Secret” and was amazed at the teachings which Bob Proctor introduced.

In fact, I tracked down the books of several of the speakers who were interviewed.

Over the next several years, I gained a new vocabulary for “prosperity”.

I continued to journal, and after nine years, I paused and began to create “meditation drawings”.

Three years after that, I began learning how to draw.

My new prosperity is expressed through my daily posts of art and affirmations and meditations.

I have learned how to “outlove” myself and no longer believe the messages I was given as a child.

Those cruel physical, mental and emotional tortures have faded, and I am no longer subject to debilitating panic attacks.

My body has healed from the somatic effects which led me to discover what had been done to me.

I can trust my physical well-being when I leave my house.

I do not dare let down the discipline of daily journaling and drawing.

It continues to center me during these times of chaos and disturbing news cycles.

I have a new life.

I am immensely grateful.

Because it happened to me, it can happen to you.

I am grateful to share everything I have learned step-by-step, so that it can be useful to you.

Here is where I share my inspiration and peace.

I post on my blog www.inspired-practices.com almost every day.
