Although today is not the day in which I both lost and found my true self and most cherished soul – a day I hold in reverence each year since 2008 – I felt guided to reshare this blog post I wrote two years ago.

The nudge to find this post is twofold.

For one, yesterday I shared a lunch with someone dear to heart with whom I’ve shared a full circle experience in life with since I was 15 years old. And while we ate and caught up on our lives, this story that was the tipping point in my own, ended up being shared. I’m always amazed at how often this story comes through and how much it ends up touching so many people’s lives and hitting a chord.

For more about the full story you can read it at this link, if you haven’t already: https://taniamarie.com/2012/04/27/in-loss-there-is-gain-finding-my-way-after-losing-my-twin-soul/

And two, I know that many souls have been transitioning and I have recently been in contact, and working, with so many that are challenged with feeling stuck in suffering and pain for varied reasons, and have a hard time giving themselves permission to experience release and joy again, let alone imagining that there is a way through the dark.

There is and you can.

I know this, not just in theory or concepts, but through actual experiences.

Suffering is a choice and one we can release ourselves from when we allow our perspectives to be expanded, we open to a new and profound understanding, we release judgments, we give ourselves permission to feel whole again, and we allow things to work themselves out rather than feeling we need to punish or correct things ourselves, as the only ones we end up punishing is ourselves.

Life goes on with or without us…the Universe doesn’t judge or label things, karma takes care of things without your help, energy keeps flowing. So why do we decide to buck that and build a dam within us to stop what is natural from moving through?

There is actually profound sense to the seemingly senseless.
