We live in exciting times where spirituality is more openly discussed and embraced than years past. But even as people become more open, spirituality still has some ambiguity and a variety of definitions. The more people I question, the more answers I receive about what spirituality is and what it is not. We can readily admit that people have physical bodies, thoughts and heart felt emotions. Yet, when it comes to spirituality, people often get confused or defensive about the topic. Some can quickly say what spirituality means to them while others respond by saying, “I’ll have to get back to you about that” (& they have yet to get back to me on that). Some ascribe religion to spirituality and they immediately think of God, while other people are put off by my inquiry, as if it’s a trick question. Then there are those who don't believe in the concept of spirituality at all. I am not judging anyone for their personal beliefs or lack thereof. I am merely inquisitive about the subject. For me it’s been a lifelong journey of connecting with and learning from the unseen world. My spirituality continually evolves with each new challenge, conflict and success I experience.

Even a Graveyard can be a Classroom.

My spiritual journey was began when I was 13 years old. It was a hot August morning when my mother entered my bedroom sobbing. She told me that my sister, who was only 16 years old, had just been tragically killed in a car accident. By this age I had already dealt with an abusive father, domestic violence, a certain degree of abandonment and neglect, and other abuses born from poverty. When I was, maybe seven years old, my father left my mother with six children, never to be heard from again. Although I had been dealing with those things, I hadn’t yet developed any coping skills for dealing with a tragedy like this. In the wake of this shocking news, I struggled, as you could imagine, with no immediate point of reference for dealing with death, let alone the death of my sister.
