You are not alone. I have lived through more dark nights of the soul than I care to admit and yet, I am now living a life I truly love. It isn't always pretty, and it is by no means perfect (after all, I'm on the eternal plan) but I have so much more hope, peace, and joy than I ever thought possible. I know the pain of living a half life; of going through the motions day after day asking yourself. "Is this it? Is this all my life is going to amount to?" I know what it is like to have a knowing deep within my aching heart that I came here to be more, to do more with this one precious life I have been given. I have spent many years in untold turmoil complaining, worrying, and angry at the world. With good reason, I thought, for my relationships were in shambles, my finances teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, and my fragile mind was succumbing to the inevitable pull of very black hole. I lived nearly 50 years feeling like something was missing...like I was missing. I didn't even know who I was anymore and why, in God's name, I was even put on earth in the first place. Frightfully, I had lost touch with the real, essential me; the me that is whole, perfect and free. I felt like damaged goods.

During some of my darkest days, I would wake in the morning, look into the mirror and be startled by who was looking back at me. I could no longer see my beauty, feel my glory, hear my own wise voice. I thought this business of being a spiritual being having a human experience was for the birds. I didn't like it and I told God so...often. Yet I remained true and steadfast on my course. I desperately wanted to come home to myself and was determined to do whatever it took to get there. I survived an abusive childhood, failed marriage, unsatisfying careers, financial calamity, severe depression, and more but, but through grace, I have come to bless each and every bit of my soul's unfolding journey. By learning how to shape my thoughts, honor my feelings and the wisdom of my body, reclaim my true powerful voice, and trust in the unseen hand that guides me, I now live spirit-centered striving daily to create my life triumphant. It is with deep appreciation that I am now blessed with the opportunity to help others do the same. Through my work, I help people reach their fullest potential, believing in the power of the human spirit to transform lives. I believe that each person has within themselves the desire and ability to be a positive force for change in the world and, by sharing one’s unique gifts and talents with others, global change is made possible. As women dedicated to shifting the consciousness of our world away from fear and towards love, I invite you to share the story of your life with me and others who have ears to hear.

I bid you peace.... Denny Balish
