Razing Elaine - A Shero's Journey
Carving out a life has been an adventure. I ignored some rules, dropped the "shoulds" and learned to follow an inner guidance. Getting fired, getting arrested, being committed to a psych hospital with a backdrop of numerous college degrees and professional ventures while embroiled in the anguish of child custody lawsuit and pursuing sexual freedom and navigating the dating scene. It's all there!
Many tragic experiences could have led to a miserable existence. I held on to a deep knowing that all circumstances in life were designed to groom me for the real skills needed for a peaceful life. Each drama was a lesson in refining the edges of my personality. Each loss taught me a valuable lesson. I learned that I didn't need to live on the edge and ultimately cultivated the wisdom mystics teach.

Everything I share is a social commentary on the backdrop of Western culture. Take the time to see this. My life experiences are reflective of many others. I’m not unique in that sense. How I’ve chosen to make sense of things may differ from how someone else’s choices. What would you have done differently? Consider this a tool for personal growth. It is to the end that I’ve written it. Yes, I’m taking stock but I’m also sharing these extremely personal experiences so others can see how life is dynamic. That it’s not enough to follow all the preestablished messages from teachers, preachers, and parents. That each and every belief needs to be examined to see if it is your truth. Are you in relationships that demean rather than celebrate you? Do you engage in traditions that wear you down? Are you being heard? Even the bible speaks to periodical pruning. Put aside old paradigms which are antiquated to the point that they are sucking your true power as a divine creator – an extension of Source itself.
