Here's My Story, in a nutshell...
and proof that this really works
First Decade of my Life...
I was a little girl born into a family of dysfunction...
Mommy is insecure and Daddy is insecure...
Mommy dulls the fear by giving herself over to and marrying an abusive husband whom she worships, thinking he will save her and give her the security she so yearns for...
Ultimately losing herself in love and so far never recovering.
Daddy dulls the fear by drinking and doing drugs, becomes abusive and despite his great capacity to love tears apart his family through his out of control behavior...
Second Decade of my Life...
I am uprooted from my life in California to be shipped off to Arkansas where my Daddy has escaped from his destructive marriage.
I am motherless for the next ten months...
Daddy is cheating on mommy and goes deeper into drugs...
Finally Mom and Dad get back together but only for a short time ?till Mom and Dad's best friend are accused of cheating. Divorce is inevitable...
Mom marries Dad's best friend and I move in with them to escape watching Dad's misuse of drugs.
During my junior year in high school Dad is caught with a large shipment of drugs and put in jail...
He gets out just in time for my High School graduation.
Mom moves back to CA and I'm left with Dad until he tells me I can't live with him anymore "cause he wants to be alone with his girlfriend."
Working and going to college I meet an amazing man...
We fall in love and move in together...
Everything is going great, until one day...
When he gets into a car accident...
He injures his back in the accident and becomes addicted to the pain medication...
Then heavier drugs... and eventually he becomes abusive.
Shall I go on...
I move into my Mom's house in CA after escaping that hurtful relationship...
A little bruised by life I'm cautious not to date for a while to regain my focus on myself and hopefully find happiness.
I finish college, meet my amazing soul mate and we get married.
I move to Washington with him, where we create an exciting life together...
This is the life of my dreams...
We buy forty acres of land overlooking the breathtaking Strait of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands.
We build a log cabin on our property.
We buy a plane and travel all over the Western states.
We do Community Service projects together.
We have a dog, some cats...
And I support him in building a successful dental practice.
Everything was going great...
Until he took a hard fall while playing sports...
He injured his back and became addicted to the pain medication...
His anger and frustration from the injury got the best of him...
He began mixing the drugs with alcohol and became emotionally, mentally and physically abusive (sound familiar?)...
I stayed in that relationship for seven years...
Thinking I could help him...
Thinking that my love could make a difference...
Thinking that if I just tried harder to make him happy it would all be OK.
Then one day I just had enough of being beaten down, literally and otherwise...
I left just after Christmas in the year 2000...
I was thirty years old...my heart was crushed, again...my self-esteem was non-existent...
I was financially broke because I worked for him all those years instead of focusing on me...there wasn't a trace of confidence within...
But there was something left in me...
It was the deep yearning from my heart to give Love, to be seen as Love and to be loved...
That yearning saved my life...
In that moment I made up my mind...
I will take the time to discover my True Self, no matter how long it takes...
I will only do work that I truly Love, and that inspires others...
And that is exactly what I did!
My Life Now...
I'm living the life of my dreams and you can too!
I went from belittled, bruised and broke to... Bliss!!!
Here's How...
I discovered what it takes to have an amazing life.
I no longer blame anyone for what I have gone through in the past.
I've taken the necessary steps to clear, release, and unblock all the baggage from the past, for good.
There is no more unnecessary trauma/drama in my life.
I know how to control my emotions, thoughts and feelings by actively listening to what they are telling me.
I see everything as an opportunity to grow and expand into Being my Soul Self.
I Live as my Higher Self.
I do what I Love doing for a living, inspiring others.
I Live the Truth and never stand for anything less.
I live in Awareness, seeing the gifts that life is offering me.
Manifesting my dreams has become effortless, as I simply trust that synchronicities and miracles are a way of life because I'm living on purpose.
My purpose, I've learned is to be an example of someone who has done it... someone who has gone through the darkness and discovered the light.
Now I know the truth of myself. I am Love/Light.
I know the Truth of you. You are absolutely, undeniably Love at your core. I hold this Truth for you until you know it for yourself.
Shine your Light and know yourself as Love.
In Love, light and laughs,
Christel
Being known by friends as "the one to call on for advice" and having a managerial career for twelve years, I easily transitioned into the role of facilitator, whether that be as a motivational speaker, coach or healer. Nothing gives me more joy than knowing that I have assisted my clients in discovering their intuitional wisdom, allowing them to take action in alignment with their higher guidance and thus living a life of passion on purpose.
