Happy Father’s Day! Today, I celebrate my Dad for who he was and how his spirit continues to change our world.

Growing up, My Dad instilled values in me that at the time, I did not understand, but today, contributes to who I am. Since I was a child, I dreamed of making a difference in our world. I have now learned that it starts with changing you. Sometimes our childhood dreams can get lost in the mix of life, but if you can open your mind to believing that your dreams are possible, it is never too late.

I lost my Father at a young age and at the time, I thought he had abandoned me. I didn’t understand what had happened; I felt so much sadness and was at a loss on how to handle the pain. I chose to stuff it in and move on with life. Ten years later, a series of events occurred and I was guided to a new way of life. I was called to look within myself, to challenge the stories that I believed to be true, to discern what was in my heart, and live life in alignment with my mind, body, heart and spirit.

Through the pain and struggle, I never gave up on myself, just as my Dad had taught me. Through believing in myself, I have discovered true intimacy, connection to spirit, and all that is available to us. We are connected to a field of energy that manifests our every desire when we are in alignment. My Father was a gift to me. His death led me to experience the contrast of what it meant to be out of alignment and what it meant to be in it. He continues to inspire me to live in authenticity and service to others. When we change ourselves, we change our world.

Thank you, Dad for showing me what it means to connect to the love and truth within myself and live it. Although it can be scary at times, I cannot imagine living life any other way. I am living my dreams and serving the world in a way that fulfills every part of me. Your spirit continues to live on and serve through Wrapped in Love and embodies the word “love” in every way. I love you.
