About This Blog

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." - Carl Jung

I began this blog in 2010 when I just left New York City for parts West entitling it "Following the Light" and then "Awakening to the Light" and finally "The Awakened Traveler." So, why the new title and why now. I am starting a new adventure abroad in 2021. For the past 20 years or more, I have gone through a spiritual awakening and I love to travel.  I will be able to finally live out my lifelong dream of living abroad next year and traveling while based in Krakow, Poland as a TEFL instructor. 

This blog spans a decade with many trials and tribulations to finally realize that the light I was searching for in the external world was inside me all along. The only thing that carried me through the darkest days was my belief that I was part of the God Source. My truth is that I am a spiritual being that is being called to awaken and increase in vibration that adds to others that are also awakening. Our energies will carry this planet, into a new phase of its existence.

 I believe that this awakening process cannot be completed until you empty it of all the things that separate you from the God Source. Warning: this process takes a lot of alone time and is not for the weak at heart. It calls you to reach into the deepest parts of your being, to access and process your wounds, your addictions, and your limiting beliefs to expose them to the light to be healed. And it is a long, arduous process that can span your entire life. There are some who say they had an instant awakening. Not so for me and many others.

 I have up til now been emptying out all the pain, all the false beliefs, all the addictions, and all the anger in my soul. And it wasn't just my pain, it was an entire lineage of pain. I took down the Following The Light website in July of 2018 the day after the longest lunar eclipse in 120 years. The old me, the old website had to die for me to start anew. 

 You can read about my journey in my previous blog entries which have been downloaded to this blog.

 Everyone’s life is filled with things that don’t honor them, that hold them back, that keep them stuck, and until you accept it, work through it and let it go, as well as accept yourself as a spiritual being having a human experience, it will be difficult to reach the higher vibration necessary to ascend into 5D. But be gentle with yourself and hopefully, the words here will resonate with you.

 May God bless you on your journey of awakening. 

 Namaste.

Living Abroad - Year One

Image
 It’s been nearly a year since I arrived in Poland. I thought to teach English to foreign language students, but the Universe apparently had other plans. And I can finally say I have firm footing here living abroad. Krakow, Poland - Wawel Castle A lot has happened over the last year, which seems to have flown by. I came here through the sponsorship of a TEFL business. I wasn’t all that impressed with the support, and low and behold, that business lost its ability to sponsor work permits in Poland. The announcement came in late December with an end date of June 30, 2022. So, I had some time to figure out what was next. In the meantime, I have been working as a content writer for several businesses in Poland.  Some of my other colleagues attached to the English TEFL business were severely impacted. There were over 400 teachers from all over the world, from Africa to Canada, that came here to Poland under this business sponsorship. Since the US had an agreement with Poland, I was...

Krakow Three months On/Lion's Gate

Image
Over three months have passed since I moved to Krakow. I arrived before my fall internship to get acquainted with the city and life abroad, and besides not being able to speak Polish, it's been quite easy to settle in here. I found a place to sit in a cafe and write with WIFI. It's actually right across the street from my flat, Cafe Stockholm . They just added on a back patio and increased their menu to include lunch.  And because my flat is centrally located, everything I need is literally a five to ten-minute walk. I've found a place right around the corner that has coffee beans from all around the world. There are also two high-end wine stores located on my street and are less than two minutes from my building.  Last month I had checkups with my new doctors and got my prescriptions filled without a hitch. And if you want OTC meds, just bring your bottles to the pharmacist and they will give you the Polish equivalent. The people here are more than happy to help out in any...

The Power Couple – The Empress and The Emperor

Image
 If both The Empress and The Emperor come up in a tarot reading, it means this is a power couple! Why are they a power couple? They both rule over their empire. They both have manifested success in their lives. They are both happy in their own right. They can both stand alone successfully when not together. The Empress sits on her padded throne with her abundance all around her. Her crops have just started to sprout out of the ground before her. On her left side is a stone with the Venus sign denoting her as the Devine Feminine and representing true love. She has a lush forest behind her with a flowing waterfall on her right side. The sky is a bright yellow signifying her happiness. She also stands for fertility and the beginnings of manifestation in your life. Her gown is dotted with red flowers, denoting passion, and is white, symbolizing purity. When she appears in a male’s reading, this foretells true love. As The Empress is also the divine mother in the tarot, she can al...
