Curriculum Vitae

I thought about calling this “Consciousness Vitae” however that would translate to “Consciousness Life” which is redundant in a way. I remember wondering from a fairly young age, “What is this all about?” That curiosity mostly got stuffed until 2009 when I turned 40 and my life began to unravel at the seams - slowly, then all at once. Fall of 2009, just prior to my separation, I was guided to attend Survivors Week at The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona. The impetus came from the woman with whom I was having an affair, of all people. Following this experience of getting a taste of how “sparkly” life could be, I made up for lost time.

I guess you could say “I’ve done The Work.”
