don’t have anyone to take care of my child.” “I have to think about

it.” These are all phrases I have heard and experienced inside of me.

Some cause me agitation in the form of frustration, anger…

In the jist of things.

I am writing this blog to find out how many other people out there have begun the awakening process.

This process is a very long journey to the opening of your entire Resistance.

This process can happen different for all people some are in tune… Continue

In freedom makes you rise

That which you merely… Continue
