Well, as it turned out I didn’t give birth to any children, but over the years I’ve been able to hold space, in ceremonies and in classes, for women choosing to put an end to trauma cycles in their families. More than once, I have heard, “It stops with me!” and I have been so grateful and honored to be able to hold space for such courageous women.
What I couldn’t’ have imagined was that healing the trauma created an opening to my divine purpose. The more I no longer lived in reaction to the past, the more I was living in my true nature and sacred power. Looking back all those years ago, I was on fire. I opened a consulting firm and within months had a contract with county corrections that gave me an opportunity to cocreate a project for reducing recidivism for women in prison.
