Hello, and Welcome!

Where do I start? I have so much to say, so many experiences I've been through in my life, that I feel can help others in some way. I am going to do my best to keep things as cohesive as possible, but if I don't, then maybe it's for a reason. Those that are meant to read these will find them somehow.

Spirituality was something ingrained into my life from birth. However, it was a very traditional, strict type of spirituality. Today, I am grateful for this foundation, in spite of it not resonating with me and my life in this moment anymore.

Life throws curve balls at us when we least expect it, and that has certainly been an understatement for me in my life. It's been punctuated by trauma from a very young age. Anxiety, depression, abuse (of different kinds and at different times in my life), betrayal, hitting rock bottom, and thankfully, rising back up again like a Phoenix.

Finding my voice, and my identity, didn't happen until I was willing to change directions, take a risk. I had to build myself up in my own way, learned to honor my sacredness, my power, my inner beauty. This led me to finding my flow. Once I took control of my spiritual journey, there was no looking back.

This, then, is a safe space for me, and for you. In time, I will share more about my journey (so far).

Brave travels,

Ires, aka Love + Whimsea
