Meditation in nature, Energy healing, Painting and Writing

I came to a point in my life where I was so exhausted trying to be someone else.  I suffered with many addictions that started at a very young age.  Every day I wore a mask with a happy smile hoping it would be enough to hide my sadness and pain.  I lost myself completely before I was able to find my soul.  I believe everyone has a purpose which is revealed in its own time once you are able to learn the ultimate lesson.  The journey begins with healing wounds from the past and embracing your true self.   This is the hardest battle you will fight and the most glorious victory when you win.  My hobbies allowed me to express my thoughts and process my emotions in creative and healthy ways.  My purpose is to help others heal with compassion and empathy.  I never offer my opinion if I am not asked and I do not give advice unless someone seeks it.  I use my intuition to guide me and trust when I get the answer.  I am sharing this because it relates with everything I do and who I truly am.   Beauty does not come from cosmetics, it radiates from your soul.  The makeup just enhances what is already there.
