Sherry was born into a rural family, the best of the best in the farming world, as the homestead was the largest and most modern of its time. It was here that she formed the roots of a lovely connection with animals and all of Mother Nature and to this day, such a setting is where she can find a deep inner peace while connecting with Spirit. After years of devoting her life to her job, all hell broke loose internally in 1998 and thus started the inner work of clearing out all the rubbish of old, outdated religious beliefs, lack of worthiness and self esteem issues, and deeply held wounds that simply would no longer be silenced. Sherry has spent the last 11 years breaking through barriers within through study, and various healing modalities. She is a Reiki master, she is certified in Reconnective Healing and Spirit Communication, and has attended the Barbara Brennon School of Healing Science, Lionheart Institute, to name a few! Sherry has been a ferocious closet writer for most of that time and is now ready to be heard. If all goes well, you will see her book appearing on the shelves in the near future! Her intent is to assist others in self acceptance and letting go of outdated beliefs of ancestral origin by sharing her story, her insights and helping all affirm that it is okay to be who you really are. Hopefully, there will be a little humor thrown in for good measure!Sherry can be reached at sherangel@hotmail.com
It appears like we will be celebrating more than the birth of Jesus Christ this holiday season. From a very personal standpoint, as well as a world wide aspect, I believe there is a group rebirthing happening at this time. This period will be talked about in years to come as a point in history that will forever be earmarked as the big shift, the great awakening, and I, for one, will be extremely proud to say I was a part of it. I am also proud of the depth of my courage and the strength of my knowing in spite of feeling like a misfit, and I have a great respect for my determination to see my way through to a different life. Change is most definitely underfoot and I will not be left behind in the dust of others forward movement out of fear or ridicule. Not happening, period.
Much of our past creations are being undone, seemingly falling apart from the view of outside existence, but what is really happening is a birth, a very intimate, personal re-creation that requires that a pre-existing form dissolve in order that a brighter, uninhibited version of self can emerge. This self is reborn as the innocence of one who has not been wounded in one way or another but has been given the opportunity, after all the hard work, to start over, only the birth process is much different than the first one! This time around, it really is up to us to choose what to do with this new life, and ignore those that can’t seem to even fathom that all can be new and bright again.
I have had many challenges along the path to this new life, did a lot of stumbling, crying, agonizing but it is getting easier, believe it or not! This latest glitch is about changing my approach to my dreams. In the past, I was the one to ‘get ‘er done’, if you know what I mean. I was the doer, the fixer, the go to person who could be relied upon to have a solution ready before something ever became a problem! Needless to say, this was mighty exhausting.
And now, if I attempt to move forward using that method, well, I gotta tell ya, it is so dang physically draining that I really almost can’t move. I am so grateful for the inner light bulb that eventually gets turned on and now know that the energy of life has changed so drastically that all that is truly required of us is intention. Put the order out there, so to speak, and let the universe take the plans out of our hands. It is not our job to figure out the ‘how’ but to decide on the ‘what’ that we want to create. We no longer need to DO anything but be open and willing to try something new, intend for the experience, anticipate, visualize and let the wave of that energy being expressed bring it to us. What a wonderful thing, this new mode of creating!
Now is the time when we are being given a chance to be heard, some of us for the first time ever, from the new self who is fresh and whole, untouched by wounding. We may experience some fear and anxiety because of not being used to making choices from this new place as the residue of the old ways slowly disappears. For me, it is a time to stop pushing myself to somewhere, not knowing the destination, but pushing nonetheless! I am learning how to differentiate within what I like and don’t like, requiring that I learn a technique on how to tell the difference! Yes, isn’t that amazing??!!??! How I made it to this age without this skill is a real mind boggler! I guess it can only be described as ‘stumbling’ along the road of life, for a very long time!
My ‘get ‘er done’ days are over and in their wake, is what is truly in my heart, my deepest desires that I have denied for way too long. Now that is living.
