This post is part of a collection of awakening stories put together by Barbara at Me My Magnificent Self
Barbara put together a collection of awakening stories 2 years ago, in which I shared my story. When asked to participate in an update, my first thought was, “I don’t have many words.” It seems the further into this journey I go, the fewer words I have — though my desire to reach out to others increases with each step.
It has been 5 years since I decided to risk everything to become my own healer and free myself from a long struggle with anorexia. I remember that day clearly, as if it was yesterday. “I’m going to the core.” I said. That was the sentence that changed my course and led me here —
to the place of few words.
And so I continue to reflect the peace I found in the deepest part of my heart through my quiet reflections and prayers. I continue to write and share because I know the pain of feeling disconnected with my true self. It is my hope that my words will touch a few hearts as deeply as the words that were shared with me.
May these words find their way to the quiet place within your own heart.
–Laurie

Entered into the few words zone myself when inner peace and love come to the forefront we dance in the wordless…
