MILKY WAY BLOG
Lisa Kay's Milky Way Blog will dive into the deep end of one soul's journey to heal a chronic illness diagnosis by following the breadcrumbs from spirit through chakra balancing, crystal dreaming, breathwork, QHHT, reiki, and so much more. Follow along on this spiritual journey in the Milky Way Collective!
Long story short, I’ve been putting this off.
The world is calling for me to start sharing my voice in a really big way and I thought what better time to birth this new era than on the spring equinox?
If you followed along on my soul journey in 2021, you would know that I’ve been spiritual my whole life, but like most people in my metaphysical shoes, I shut down my gifts. Looking back now, I can see I was built for a world that didn’t yet exist. I felt out of place, alone, longed to go back home, and tried my best to just be “normal.”
I suffered with depression most of my life and although I don’t think back on any one time as being a “spiritual awakening,” I had many on-the-bathroom-floor dark nights of the soul. The thing that continued to get me through the most challenging times in my life was this deep knowing that I was here for a reason.
New Adventure
On Saturday, July 31st, I made the long haul from Boynton Beach, FL to Surfside Beach, SC, a 629-mile drive, what should be a nine hour, 23 minute drive through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The night before this trip I started looking for a stopover location to break the trip into two days, but I decided to bite the bullet and get the drive over with in one day.
As I pulled onto I95 North from Boynton Beach, I began listening to the second half of Untamed by Glennon Doyle. For as much hype as this book got, I was unimpressed. I actually started it in mid-June as I began packing up my house in Illinois and I just never wanted to even finish it. Facing the long drive, I thought ... what the heck?! Why not.
I think maybe if you've never thought about your place in the world as a woman, or about your spirituality, or belief systems, maybe her content might be eye-opening for you. But it seemed pretentious to me. Perhaps even more so because she was reading her own book. I felt like her inflection was trying to make things sounds revelatory, but they just were not. Enough said.
Rounding out the rest of my day, I pulled up Caroline Myss' Anatomy of the Spirit.
