Dancing Souls

Dancing is My Life

Rhythm and movement are ingrained in my very being. Sometimes an enchanting melody—at others, extraordinary dissonance. This story is about my life and those of many others entwined within it. No doubt, you will identify with the characters in Dancing Souls. As you immerse within it, you will realize that you are playing a bigger game in life than you think.

My story began in 2006. A sort of a second birthing when I took ballroom dance lessons. The next year changed my life—a shift that flipped my world inside out; a shift that occurred when a young dance instructor took my hand and awakened my feet. My mind followed. My world opened up in a way that I never knew was possible.

The shift. The shift that would affect my attitude; my beliefs; my spirit. I realized then I had a blessed life. I was loved, protected and knew that the “bad” things in my life were for a reason. I was able to start forgiving those who harmed me. That was also the beginning of the depth of the pain I would soon realize. I saw that life was a gift and love does cure all. I have never been so loved by anyone in my life as I found through the dance, and I never loved as deeply. From that love, both of us together created a life I never dreamt possible. Doors opened on a spiritual and physical level. I started to accept myself and trusted what I knew about my spiritual truth and my psychic abilities. Who would ever think that a metaphoric partner could make one so whole?

Throughout, names have been changed to protect their identity. The people are real; I have not included their physical characteristics. Instead, I focused on the spiritual essence of each one and the journeys we travel on. As I introduce them to you, you will discover that each person brought a unique quality and shift, some that I was unaware of at the time. They played an important role in my awakening and growth, growth of my self-esteem that was a part of it. To protect my many friends, I will be describing them from a cosmic viewpoint because it was there that the answers came and the shift occurred.

A divine union with a man I did not know seeds my story. Taking those seeds, I was then able to recreate it with a man that became important to me. It was as if spirit gave me the end of the story. Now, I am to share with you how to create it for yourself. A journey I never expected. It is a good thing that we do not know the future; if I had known what this entailed this retelling, I would have run. Run fast. The depth of pain and discovery that I experienced and am still learning about is phenomenal.

It is about what both men and women do in a relationship. It is about what each person, if they really are committed to the relationship, would want to do to create that divinity that is theirs and ours to have.

In the beginning, I responded to things that were not “me” but what women do as a collective. As I grew, I became conscious of my thoughts, actions, words and deeds. The only way a relationship was going to work was if both parties were committed to it. I share with you, sometimes playfully, sometimes painfully, the evolution of a relationship that went bad—failed—in Part III. Succinctly put, and as you will see, I terminated the relationship because I was not receiving what I needed from it and was in a lot of pain from his actions. My psyche hurt; my soul hurt; my very essence hurt.

Dancing Souls is about my learning to walk away when the relationship was over, when my needs were no longer being met. I needed certain things, and when my partner walked out for the last time, it was for good because I could no longer play the game.

Men think women are demanding and bitchy and women think men are stupid and jerks. Those thoughts need to stop. We are just different. Men have a hard time identifying their emotions but they want what women want. Clear communication between and with both is key here. It is possible to have it, but it takes a lot of work and a commitment to yourself, your growth, your partner and your relationship.

In these opening chapters, you begin the journey with me; it nudged me while I was writing Part Two. I kept getting a sense that Dorian, the mystery member of my angelic team, had something to say. He would not stop prodding me. I finally decided to write what he had to say, thinking he would then leave me alone. I thought wrong—his nudging didn’t cease when I sat down at my computer and wrote. A story unfolded and I realized that there was a bigger picture to my life and those around me.

I grasped that just maybe what was happening on this Earth was bigger than we all realized. I knew there was a war in the heavens and Earth was her battleground. I identified with Destiny and questioned for days what she would do. I cannot take any credit for this other than I was taking “dictation” from Dorian. I had no idea what Part One was going to look like or how it would end. However, when I needed an ending for Part One of the story, I could not see how to “bridge” Part One with Part Two but somehow, in the end, it all seemed to work.

As you read this, another book is being written. The rest of the story to concludes … but I’m ahead of myself … with that said, join me as my journey began.
