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job, all hell broke loose internally in 1998 and thus started the inner work of clearing out all the rubbish of old, outdated religious beliefs, lack of worthiness and self esteem issues, and deeply held wounds that simply would no longer be silenced.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 Her intent is to assist others in self acceptance and letting go of outdated beliefs of ancestral origin by sharing her story, her insights and helping all affirm that it is okay to be who you really are.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
After so much time spent in unhappiness, I decided that moving was the only option left for me to try and God knows, I have tried everything else right here in my home town with zero success. So off I, my two cats, and my bare essentials went, to a temporary stay in another state to test out the waters and I ended up finding a whole lot of wisdom along the way. I share one really big discovery here. Now I know what you DON'T need to do in order to find home.
It’s no secret that I have been trying my best to end my struggles and find my way to a life I could be comfortable living and sometimes, during some of my darkest hours, I would hear in my inner ears, ‘just come home’. What?!? Are you kidding me??!!?! Needless to say, this could really freak me out as I considered the possibility that someone from the spirit realm was trying to tell me that my time was coming to an end here on earth and my reluctance to accept this news was why I continued to have so many struggles with my lack of a career, or to be more specific, my inability to connect deeply in ANY area of my life.
Well, physical death was not on my list of things to do just yet. In my mind, I had a whole lot more living I wanted to experience, adventures I still had not even glanced at on my bucket list, plus I wasn’t sick and had no intention of becoming so! I also felt I deserved to reap the rewards of a job well done after all the work I had aggressively pursued to clear myself of my deepest wounds and distorted beliefs, continuously going deeper within myself to find the ‘me’ that got lost due in an inner arena that was full of dysfunctional parents and religious B.S. Though this is not exactly the right attitude, it is what I had expected for my efforts.
Unable to consider my first thought, I decided perhaps the voice meant to physically move myself to another state as a new destination to call home. I chose a place, Sedona, Arizona, that I had always thought would be just perfect for me, having visited there almost yearly for the past 20 years, only to find out that once I actually spent a significant amount of time there, it wasn’t at all like I thought it would be for just about every reason and most definitely did not feel like home! I found myself filled with gratitude that the universe saw fit to NOT bring me a buyer for my condo and I still had a home to return to!
And so after just one month of my intended two month stay, I returned home to Wisconsin. The experience, though really difficult at times, was just what I needed to acquire some much needed clarity and now I am much more accepting of my home and my environment. Thank you God, but still there remained this incredible longing for some other place, some other home. It became a lingering sort of homesickness, like a thirst I kept trying to quench with moving around geographically.
Finally I was gifted with yet another light bulb moment and realized that the home I was searching for did not require a physical relocation at all but a vibrational relocation and that is what all this talk about ascension is really all about. I don’t need to move anywhere physically, my home is still here but I do need to let go and move internally to a whole different level of vibration, one of extensive expansion, a place that carries with it some really awesome creating potential, some bliss, some peace, a community of my peers, a new life, all of the above, if I but allow the shift to happen as naturally as it was meant to.
Though I understand, I still don’t claim to have all the answers as this truly is new territory and my purpose is to go first and let everyone know how its done. There loomed before me one big fat fear I was harboring that stopped my progress in that direction dead in it’s tracks. In order to ascend, I had to face my fear of letting go. My resistance to my process was a belief I had that if I let go completely and just simply let the inner expansion happen, I was literally going to leave the earth plane via the experience of a human death and as I stated earlier….ah, no.
Fortunately, with my support system, my Lightworker family and one really wise friend, I am assured that this is not the case and I believe them. There is no instruction manual on how to get there for no one knows for sure what all of this really looks like but I think there may be one soon. The only real option is to trust that all will unfold as it was intended and stop the resisting. The journey really is about going within, accessing the GPS, and taking ones hands OFF the steering wheel.
