Nothing Is Missing

Like a snake shedding its skin, I release with gratitude all that which has come before me, in life and in lives past, not in alignment with who I am in this moment and where I am headed on this journey. I move forward aligned with love, joy, ease, peace, gratitude, and abundance.


This week’s prompt encouraged me to explore what I felt was missing in my life. My response surprised even me a little. If you prefer to listen rather than read, please click on the YouTube video below.

The missing thing. There isn’t one. Truly. My life has been a series of ups and downs as most are – but you know they say that if you don’t experiences the valleys, you can’t fully enjoy the peaks. I have zero doubt in my mind that every single experience, encounter, moment has led me to who I am today, and there was no mistake in that. Nothing has ever been missing.

Yes, I’ve felt empty at times. A loss of joy and fulfillment in my experience. But again, nothing was missing. That sense of lack of something served its exact purpose to ignite something within me to want to change, to want to heal so that I could feel more, release more, embrace myself as myself more.

The message above came to me as I was doing my daily yoga practice yesterday morning. I woke up feeling “off.” I try not to judge these moments anymore. I don’t feel the need to know the “why” of the off-ness. I sat with it. I did some forgiveness work to allow the emotions to keep moving and made the intention to listen and release whatever was needed. And then, as I do every morning, opened my laptop and went with the yoga practice that the Universe chose for me that day – yes, I know you may be thinking it was the YouTube algorithm that chose that practice- but I believe the Universe is more powerful than YouTube. I’ve never not gotten exactly what I needed (not wanted, but needed) through the yoga practice that was front and center even when groaning at the suggestion.

As I worked through the challenging flow, the images and message became clear – I was shedding my energetic skin. I woke up ready to release what no longer served my highest and greatest good. Those patterns that I held onto from this lifetime and many lives before that my soul had not yet healed from. And in embracing this, I released and opened.

How would I have gotten to this beautiful energetic space had I not been uncomfortable? I needed those hard moments of pain and struggle to crack the foundation so that I could choose to dig deeper and heal. To choose to be in alignment with love, and joy, peace, and good health, ease – abundance.

And standing in my truth and in my space, I invite all of you to stand with me – in your power. There is nothing missing. Those spaces and times, when you feel a lack, they’re filled with the catalyst you need to push through to something so much more beautiful than you can imagine.
