THE TRUE MEANING OF YOUR BIRTHDAY

I just had a birthday on April 22 which makes me 36...to some it's time to party and celebrate another year of life...to others it's a day of memories, appreciation for life lessons and the people, places, things and circumstances that made you the person that you are today!

A Facebook friend put something on my time line that put somethings on my mind in regards to life and the special meaning of HAPPY BIRTHDAY:

Everyone always says the same thing on your birthday. "Happy Birthday!", "Have a great one!", "Enjoy your day!", "HBD!"
Instead, today I want you to take a moment to reflect and actually think about what happened on this day, so many years ago, in the lives of your parents, your family, their friends. People who had been congratulating your mom and watching her belly grow with life for 9 months finally got to meet the precious baby that was miraculously brought into this world, sculpted by God Himself.

On this day, you were the main attraction. Smiles rained down on you, people asked permission to hold you, nurses and doctors took special time to make sure that you were as perfect as your parents already knew you were.
And now, here you are, years later, celebrating your LIFE. The beginning of your EXISTENCE on this Earth. Take some time to reflect on what you have accomplished, the things you still have yet to do, the people you have affected. Today, I celebrate you. In all your uniqueness, with all your little flaws, imperfections, the things that make you special. It truly is a day to celebrate. Congratulations on entering and making your mark on this world.

Your friend,

Aaron J. Powell

It’s holding you back. What happened, happened. You can’t change the past, and no amount of self-hatred can fix it. Today is a new beginning. Choose to move forward. You are not a bad person, not a failure, and certainly not a disappointment. You are human, and that means you are constantly learning and growing. What you can change is your future. Remember, your pain will become your strength. It won't last forever. Give yourself time to heal, and take life one day at a time. Every day you make it through is another step closer to the greatness that’s waiting for you. Be patient with yourself. Growth doesn’t happen overnight, and it comes in many forms. Be proud of how far you’ve come, and trust that you are getting closer to the person you are meant to be. Keep pushing forward, keep fighti

Exploring the Spiritual Significance of Shadow Work

In our journey toward self-discovery and spiritual elevation, shadow work stands out as a profound practice that fosters deep personal and spiritual growth.  Often misunderstood or overlooked, shadow work integrates the hidden parts of ourselves, promoting healing and transformation. But what exactly is shadow work, and why is it spiritually significant? Understanding Shadow Work... Shadow work, a concept pioneered by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, involves the exploration of the unconscious parts of our personality that we typically repress or deny. These are aspects of ourselves that we might find uncomfortable, shameful, or unacceptable, which Jung described as the "shadow." Engaging in shadow work is about acknowledging and embracing these aspects, rather than allowing them to manifest in destructive ways. This process requires honesty, introspection, and a willingness to face parts of ourselves that we might prefer to ignore. The Spiritual Significance of Shadow Work... 1
