I hope the free sample of the I AM Journal has got you started in exploring journaling.
I will share a little bit about myself and why I was called to share this new journal. Back in 2014, I had the most unexpected experience of my life. It sounds dramatic, frankly, it was. I was just about to adopt two children, and it had been two years of assessment to check we were suitable adopter. After going through many profiles of children. We got matched, two beautiful children, a little girl of three and a boy 18 months old. If you have been through adoption, you will know it’s a really big process.
It was the day before meeting the children for the first time, and going through a week-long integration. I was asleep in bed, and my husband woke me up and told me he didn’t want the children or me and he had feelings for a colleague at work.
So, in that moment, as I jumped out of bed, he was leaving for work. It was very hard to comprehend, so consequently I had a spiritual awakening and a near-death experience. I write about my story in my memoir, as I know this didn’t just happen to me it happens to many people.
After 3 weeks, I ended up getting sectioned in an NHS hospital, on a 28-day section. For someone going through grief, I didn’t feel it was the right place to be.
I was very lucky; after two weeks, I got thrown off the section for having acute stress.
The story doesn’t end there. For many people, like me, your life falls apart; it has a domino effect on your life, on your well-being, and the emotional impact on all aspects of your life.
Why am I sharing my Journal with you now?
Because what I am putting in my journal is all the things that got me through. The first thing that got me through my life death experience was singing a mantra. I sang all night long to keep me in my body, as my soul wanted to leave.
The second was journaling. Journaling was my way of expressing how I felt, understanding myself, and learning to know what my truth was. That to me was a life-saving device. As I have been journaling for all these years, it took me to discover more about my own creativity and that I had something to give and share with others.
That's why I am sharing my I AM JOURNAL, Connection, Creativity, Clarity.
If you have any questions, you can DM me on Instagram or Facebook, and I am happy to answer any questions.
We are all going through change, as we know life is always changing and often it changes in a small way, gradual ways, and sometimes it much more dramatic. In 2020 we all got locked up in our homes, and we went through a big transformation, and I feel that’s what we are all going through now.
Jo Riley @YesYOu and I have created a weekly chat on @iamalice on Substack, and you are welcome to join our community and share in our experiences. We want to support, learn and express ourselves. I would love to see you there.
My saving grace was that I was told by spirit there was a gift in my experience, so I went in search of MY gift, as anyone would right! The gift I found was living in Bali for the last nine years, where I created a whole new way of living.
