I have had a spiritual epiphany. I have been working hard to return to my
spiritual roots. Part of what I have been asking the universe is how I am to
fund Downsy Dude Rescue Ranch. As I was meditating the answer came to me, but I
was unsure if the answer was the path I should take as it involves some work
with breast cancer victims and I was not sure if I should linger there.
Those of you close to me know that I have won a 3 year battle with breast
cancer and have had a pretty nasty case of PTSD due to the experience. As a
mental health practitioner, I had lots of tools in my arsenal but was still
overwhelmed with fear. I went looking for help and could not find it. In the
end, I created my own program, which I am being lead to share with others. I was
resistant to think that the answer to funding the Downsy Dude Rescue Ranch was
somehow attached to breast cancer. I wanted nothing to do with it and have
worked hard at distancing myself from it, and focusing on wellness.
On a whim one day recently I called into a radio talk show on Hay House
radio. There was a man by the name of Kyle Gray who is well known as "the angel
whisperer". Not even knowing if I really believed in angels, for some reason I
decided to call and ask him how I was to fund my project. He blew me away by not
only telling me that the arch angle Ariel is with me, but
describing the courage I had to use to get through the past 3
years. Next he had a vision that described the key elements of my PTSD program
and told me that this was going to be key to funding Downsy Dude Rescue
Ranch.
I had not shared with him what the rescue project was about nor, the PTSD
program I have been putting together. After I hung up, I googled the
arch angel Ariel. I was shocked to learn that she is considered the guardian of
the animals and nature. Within few days, I was offered a chance to use my PTSD
program with a prominent medical practitioner in my area. I did not solicit this
invite and it took me by complete surprise.
When I first got cancer, and over the 3 years of beating it back, I have
continually ask the universe "why is this happening to me?" It seemed so wrong.
I know in my heart I am a good person and I felt very picked on and devastated
by the whole situation. Could it be that it's purpose has now been revealed to
me?
I would love to hear your thoughts about this if you are willing. I also need
help naming thePTSD program. I welcome feedback and suggestions. Breast cancer and animal rescue.....does this add up?
