Since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by the evolution of Butterflies. I would love watching them fly around me and was curious about how they came to be or where they came from. I recall as a child the story 'The Hungry Caterpillar' and learned, to become the Butterfly, the Caterpillar goes through a metamorphosis. Being in darkness, going through all the icky bits of it's ultimate transformation to emerge as the Beautiful Butterfly.
I liken the Caterpillar's metamorphosis journey to a Butterfly, to that of our own spiritual awakening journey that we all go through within our lifetime. Our journey to finding our True Authentic Self. At some point, we will all go through this journey from darkness to light. A journey of self-reflection, transformation and healing. Shedding the things that no longer serve us. Learning to overcome and let go of our fears and all the things that hold us back. Having faith that one day, we too will emerge from our own cocoon to become a Beautiful Butterfly and be able to spread our wings and fly!
Allow me to introduce myself...
I am a Free Spirit who loves learning new things and sharing this knowledge with others. I am a Wife and Mother. I love all things Astrology, Metaphysics, Spirituality, Religious Beliefs, Prophecies, Philosophy, History and Architecture. May be just part of my curious Sagittarius nature. I am open minded and not much shocks me these days about the world. I am an observer & thinker and am very intuitive. I love all sorts of creativity and will try anything at least once. I love all types of Music but especially love Rock Music or music that touches my Soul and raises my vibe. I also love nature and the great outdoors as I feel it brings me inner peace, balance and grounds me when life gets a bit rocky. I am very passionate about what I believe in and want the best for people. I am generally optimistic about life and just want for people to be happy with themselves and to truly enjoy all that life has to offer.
I began my journey of 'awakening' some years ago. Things in life were not moving along as expected and I found myself angry and disgruntled always complaining if things didn't go my way. I had everything I wanted in life and yet in my Soul, I felt unfulfilled even empty at times but could never understand why. After years of being let down and having my heart broken by people that I trusted and respected, I was placing too much of my focus on pleasing people that didn't see my worth. I often brushed my beliefs and needs aside for the sake of others and started to feel withdrawn and discontented with life. All I ever wanted for people came from good intentions and this was not always respected by people I genuinely trusted & cared about. One day something inside me just snapped! This is when I realized I needed to take back my power and stop giving it to people that didn't deserve my time or attention. It was time to change the course of my life and to live my true Soul purpose. It was time to stop hiding behind a façade that I had created to be "accepted".
We all want happiness and good things for all people but, societal standards have made us become not so great versions of our selves. I believe, if we truly want a world of Peace, Love and Happiness, we need to go within and bring our True Self back into balance. I believe it all begins and ends with us. We are the ones that need to change to make the difference in this current world where there is so much division and unrest. People have become so driven by ego and have become narcissistic in nature, that we hardly ever look at ourselves and think that maybe we are the problem as a result of our own illusion-based ideas. Yes, it definitely is a hard pill to swallow, admitting that we are not the be all and end all of this world.
These days, I place my focus on a more positive way of living life - making changes for the better, as I go. I admit, it's definitely no easy feat to admit you have flaws and insecurities. Facing them, although painful at times, was one of the most freeing and liberating experiences of my life. When you release your fears, it is life changing. I geared up the courage and made myself a priority for the first time in my life. The experiences of the past, would ultimately lead me to start working on myself by looking at my relationships, soul searching and self-reflection. I learned a lot about myself, the people around me and what I would no longer tolerate. I now understood my future direction and what I wanted and needed from my life. I learnt to forgive and let go of almost everything I no longer resonated with. Things that were holding me back from my Soul purpose. Everyone's story will be unique to them as we all experience different journeys and circumstances in our lifetime.
This is just my story.
Today, I take things one day at a time. I made peace with my past and have accepted that these experiences are part of my Soul's growth and expansion. I now try to focus more on the here and now and let the Universe guide me on where to go next.
I hope that with sharing my experiences and guidance, you learn to find your own inner peace and a balanced, joyful life that you truly deserve. I am here to help guide and assist you on your journey of self-discovery and healing, while we ride this rollercoaster of life together. Of course, there will be bumps along the way, but we will get there in the end, taking it one day at a time as I believe...
"The best is yet to come!"
Thank you for joining me on this journey,
Peace, Love & Light,
Valentina
