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job, all hell broke loose internally in 1998 and thus started the inner work of clearing out all the rubbish of old, outdated religious beliefs, lack of worthiness and self esteem issues, and deeply held wounds that simply would no longer be silenced.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 Her intent is to assist others in self acceptance and letting go of outdated beliefs of ancestral origin by sharing her story, her insights and helping all affirm that it is okay to be who you really are.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!
Determining between what is real and what is just a set up to bring about some kind of shift within is just about impossible so don't wear yourself to a frazzle trying to figure it out! I have had several experiences involving crazed emotions of late and they seem to follow right on the heels of having had a blissful day filled with the knowledge that I am most definitely on the right path. Why this happens, I won't pretend to know but I share my experience here to let others going through some similar bazaar experiences to relax and allow whatever seems to be causing today's crazy feelings to pass. And they will, with or without your complete understanding of them but you will feel a certain sense of having passed through the tunnel into yet another level of acceptance.




It looks like I am finally going to follow my own advice! The veil has lifted, that which I couldn’t see, or wouldn’t see, one of them (my dreams) right in front of my face at least monthly all along is now so bright it feels like I need sunglasses! I don’t know how I could have missed my own wisdom or better yet, avoided it based on a major lack of self confidence but low and behold, it happened. At the time I was accepted to be a guest writer here on this site, my intention revealed itself in the name I chose for my column, Let Your Light Shine. By sharing my own struggles and triumphs, along with what worked for me and what didn't in my drive to be all I came here to be, I had hoped to help others learn to really love themselves enough that nothing was going to hold them back from offering their own unique, beautiful gifts to the world. This next step was a much needed boost.
With all endings come new beginnings and what better time to reflect on where we are in our inner world than the anniversary of the birth of Jesus, the most important beginning in all of history. It is also a time to honor how hard some people work to assist others and bring sunshine to some very dark spaces at times. Let us not forget that even light bulbs do burn out but the point is, they don't have to if given the support and encouragement needed to continue on when sometimes the support of others is limited. It is a time to remember to take care of the self just as much as we take care of others, and it is in no way un-Christian to be our own best advocate when it comes to maintaining the most magnificent machine we should all be honored to reside in. It is a traditional time of the year to reflect backwards, look forward but don't forget to gaze inward as well!
Stop the struggle! It now is most uncomfortable, and extremely difficult to continue to live life under the rules of the old energies! It is time to realize that while the past is really familiar, it is no longer usable information! Knowing that the territory is really uncharted requires a certain amount of courage and trust in the universe, and each of us needs to figure out what works best for us as literally, no one can tell you. The next page is blank, patiently waiting for each of us to decide who we want to be now and what we want to create. And that technique is way different from the past!
Okay. I know how I feel, I accept that change is inevitable, in fact, I welcome it because I sure as h--- don't want to stay where I am any longer than I have to, but how do I get beyond where I am? Somewhere there are tools of some kind to help me with that very intent. And so it is that I was drawn to a seminar (yes, just one more!) in which I was given the very information and support I needed to do what I knew I wanted to do all along but just couldn't give myself permission to go there. If this turns out to be your missing piece of information as well, then I have fulfilled my reason for sharing it.
Holy cow! Can it get any more unnerving than it already is??!?!! When will I ever again feel the security of loving what I do, enjoying all my friends and family again, and being comfortable in my own skin? When does transcending end? Or at the very least, reach some kind of level where I can at least relax and find some peace? I feel like I am in the middle of a drink shaker, being tossed around vigorously, in order that what was once solid, breaks down into liquid to be ingested. And honey, that is not comfortable! Support is hard to find as everyone you know seems to be somewhere else in this wild process of ascension and restructuring. But there always is one to turn to.....
There are losses happening all around each one of us, some unexpected, some absolutely frightening, some sad, some just indicating a time for change, but if most of them are looked at in the proper perspective, it becomes evident that all are just the beginning of a really cool future. The trick is to surrender to a new way of living and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I personally did not let go easily, mostly because I just could not believe in the possibility of my dreams actually becoming reality. I did not believe in myself or that a different way of life could actually be possible. I have finally accepted my inner world really does house all the answers for any question I could ever ask and by agreeing, once and for all, to listen up, I feel a new sense of peace and trust. I am choosing to believe that my soul truly will guide me through the maze toward a new life.




As the process of ascension continues on planet Earth and in each one of us, the temptation to keep things the same inside and out can be really strong. But much like the tide shifts in the oceans, so too does the ever expanding self move forward and to buck the current is exhausting and just not possible. This day's article is about how I finally agreed to drop my resistance and go......wherever the tide was going to lead me. And while I don't know the destination yet, I am okay with unknown. It is surely a sense of adventure awakening within me and I invite you to come along, not necessarily on my path, but wherever your heart is calling you. Being a trailblazer is scary but oh so fulfilling when I finally find my way and help you find yours. We are all pioneers in the new age and it just makes me admire our ancestors all the more. Wow! What courage they had and we do too.
There are times when doors to just about anything remain closed, from finding a new job to starting a new relationship or just being denied access to an internet website. It happens. But when it happens, the best thing for us to do is to just accept it and trust that there are real valid reasons we are being blocked (protected) from making the wrong choices, even though we don't know what they are........unless we choose to force the door open, that is. Then you will most definitely find out why, though that knowledge may not be available right up front! It's time to let go of the steering wheel of our lives and let a much wiser universe guide us around the potholes along the road to our futures.
The all ecompassing energy expansion on Mother Earth has been the cause for many anxious moments, more than I care to recall but I am comforted in the knowledge that I am not alone. I have learned that the ascension 'leaves no stone unturned' and that no one is exempt from the process (Thank God!). I have learned that an open mind, a lot of trust, and extraordinary faith is required to go with the flow of the natural ending of many parts of my life. Even though some of the changes happening appear to be without my permission, my higher awareness views it as a rare, golden opportunity to do it all over again but with the wisdom of an adult who has learned a few things from the first go around. Haven't you ever said - 'if I could do it over again, I would.......' Now's our chance.
