NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN RANDOM
Not the person who broke your heart. Not the job that ended. Not the door that closed without warning. Not even the moments you still don't fully understand. You think you were unlucky. You think you chose wrong. You think you should have seen it coming. But every encounter exposed something.
Every ending revealed something. Every disappointment stripped something back. Some people arrived to awaken you. Some arrived to test your boundaries. Some arrived to show you exactly what you will never tolerate again.
And yes, some came to hurt you. But even that pain carved clarity. Even that loss sharpened your self-worth. You weren't being punished. You were being refined.
Growth rarely feels graceful while it's happening.
It feels like confusion. It feels like loss. It feels like the ground shifting under your feet. But nothing was wasted.
Every lesson stretched your capacity. Every fracture widened your heart. Every time you chose to keep going, something stronger in you took shape.
Stop labeling your story as good or bad. It was necessary. It was forming you. Trust the unfolding. Trust the timing. Trust that the same force that dismantled what no longer fit is the one building what does.
Life is not happening against you. It is happening through you. And you are becoming exactly who you were meant to be.

SOUL DEEP WOMAN REMEMBERING
There is a pivotal juncture in every Soul Deep Woman’s journey when she stands alone. Her convictions take over and she takes a stand. She stands tall and she stands apart. She arrives at this crossroad not free of doubt, but because of it. She doubts all that she was taught. She is willing to accept all criticisms or the rejection of her family, friends, co-workers or any institution she belongs to.
She is now in full Rebel mode. She rejects expected norms, roles, labels and the contracts she silently made in the past to keep the peace and feel somewhat protected. She no longer wants to subscribe to a false belonging and stay hidden under the self-consented forgetting. The veil must come off. The masks must be shattered. The status quo is questioned. Patriarchy is no longer accepted. You are ready!
Often, when we hear the call of the Soul, we can’t run from it. We try to run, but we can’t hide. The inner battle is too intense. Just like when a new love sparks our passion, we can’t run from it. We lay ourselves on the altar of love and we are willing to burn for the love that consumes us from within.
This burning away is the very signature of the awakening process. It might arrive through the end of a marriage or the loss of a job. Or through the death of a parent, an illness, or a realization that our addiction must end.
Similarly, when we awaken from the hypnotic dream of forgetting who we are, we are willing to deconstruct our antiquated self-concepts. No matter what is the price we pay. Because the price we pay for not listening to the wake-up call is too high. The longer we wait, the more we are eroded inside.
Often, anxiety takes over if we don’t pay attention. And when that happens, the hollowness we feel inside becomes a wall that stands between you and your true self. Anxiety is a thief of your heart that will impact your self-esteem and your confidence. At all cost, you must protect your heart from the grips of anxiety. And you do that by taking sacred steps towards your dreams. You stay committed to your truth and you ground yourself in your convictions.
The awakening is a sacred time. It is the beginning of our conscious life on earth. Your life shall never be the same from that point on. There is no turning back to the life you lived before. There is no turning back to a time when you felt that your head is in the clouds.
There will be clarity. And an unshakable knowing that you are guided. And you will never feel alone no matter what. There is a renewal at a cellular level that will transport you to a world where the pieces of your life start to make sense.
As you step into this new version of your world you will lose and gain new friends. You might let go of relationships that no longer make sense. You might realize that you must let go of some people in your life because their needs and way of existing in the world force you to compromise yourself and your most valued beliefs.
You might change the way you dress and how you wear your hair.
You might begin to like a different kind of music and be drone to different places. You will commune more intimately with nature and begin to be at ease in your space. It is a time like no other in your life. The earth will move differently under your feet after you awaken from the dream state.
The shift from unconscious to conscious living is always the result of a crisis in our lives. There is a culmination, a gathering of evidence that we have ignored for so long. The signs were there, but we avoided to take action. Until one day our lives are brought to a halt. We must make a choice. A decision. It is that pivotal juncture where we must decide who we want to become in the light of the new calling of our heart.

Our state is being sold off. Over 20% of the land is now owned by out of state investors who are driving prices higher and restricting access to land for young Iowa farmers. Reviving the family farm is the way forward for Iowa.
