To know me is to know that I can be as curious as the widely known little monkey named George. So it should be of no surprise that I am sincerely intrigued when people, whether intentionally or otherwise, give me their perspectives of who I am. Why?…because I am curious of course! Its this innate and unyielding curiosity that coerced me into this trek of self discovery. There was no major life change that propelled me into an alternate way of existing, no waking up one day daring to be different, no self-help material pointing out the lack of awareness. Me and my wellness have become acquainted and quite fond of one another through a series of experiences. I realized that I had been conditioned to engage and interact in this world based on the external influences that occur naturally in this life. We are all born unto parents, have guardians of some sort, teachers, friends, religions, neighbors, and communities that influence us without our permission, they just do. A better part of living involves absorbing and processing external stimuli, its what allows us to behold the immense beauty that the universe has to offer. The desire to experience this wonderfully eccentric world differently became increasingly fervent. Life was okay. I believed that I was an overall happy person based on some of the things that I could have been dealing with in life. That’s true and respectable, but I could also have a more vibrant and in depth experience as well. I had established career and life goals that I was determined to reach, which is what I believed would change my quality of living. In a way accomplishing goals did improve some things, but the curiosity to exist differently was unchanged. I took a chance and began to truly look inwardly for something new and different. I craved something intangible, something mysterious… like when you’re so hungry you can’t decipher what it is that you actually want to eat. The most perfect and satisfying meal is alluring and eluding all at once. I desired to be well in a specific sense of the word. Then and there I was formally introduced to MY wellness, she is a beast to say the very least. Challenging and influencing my being and existence, many times without warning and self assured boldness. She told me to pack lightly, I have all that I need for this journey…
