Greetings! Reflecting back as far as I can remember, as a child I was taught to wish upon a star for one’s dreams. It’s an old wise tale that says if one finds the brightest star in the night sky and wish upon it, that person’s wish’ld come true. As a child I did alot of wishing. My parents died at an early age leaving us orphaned and poor as African American kids in a small, conservative European descent dominated city. This experience scarred much of my youth and early adulthood; so yes, I did a lot of wishing upon stars…
During my early adult life, I was ignorant on how to design, as well as sustain a different and quality way of life – one where I didn’t see myself as a victim (reflected in my early writings). It wasn’t until I was in my thirties that I was introduced to such ‘how to live a fulfilling life’ consciousness tools as Landmark Education, Unity Church, and energy vibrational healing. My life mission became that of exposing others to these internalized tools, ones that teach how ‘consciousness/*energy vibration frequencies create life styles/values’. My oldest sister Harriette was my loving and powerful mentor, as well as my sidekick, during these early metamorphic stages.
Poem recitals, published and shared writings, geometrical-designed ‘signature’ artworks (appearing in both Atlanta and NY venues) and coaching spirituality and ancient wisdom/Christ-iam-ity principles were my awakening vehicles. Each vehicle removes layers/masks of ignorance, trauma and becomes the soul ‘so-ur-cerer’ of a wholesome and fulfilling lifestyle. This defining and impeccable level of spirituality (and/or Christ-iam-ity) has healed my past; journeying me to a fulfilling lifestyle. I’ld love hearing about your healing journey. Feel free to use my contact info to share of where it has brought you. Peace in and stay tune for thedetailsharplady’s written works on mindful living/death (Read article, Licorice and Liverwurst)!
