It is interesting how we all naturally question what is happening in our lives, especially when something comes up that we don't want to do. A recent work retreat has been such a hard event for me to come to terms with for various reasons and because of this, it felt like I was being forced to do something I couldn't do. After releasing that feeling and surrendering to the fact that I was going on this trip, I went and am glad i did.
This trip turned out to be in the belly of Yemaya, right on the beach with visions of the beach everywhere. after fearing having to share a room with people I didn't know, I ended up with my own room full of peace and inner reflection. What I realized once I was here was that I needed this. I needed to get away from the chaos and allow myself to just spend time with me. In the process, I am connecting to the Yemaya within and out in the oceans. I have missed her constant influence in my life since I have allowed my stress to block a lot of the messages she normally sends.
I went to the store and bought a spirit candle since I left mine at home. I am now sitting with the ocean at my back and peace in my mind. How exciting it is to have enjoyed and experienced this. I truely need it and will try to remember not to doubt my blessings in the future.
