This past year has been a powerful time for rebirth within my soul. I turned 50 last year, and with that, came a period of reflection. My life has been a fulfilling one, with times of both joy and sorrow. I have been blessed with many joys in my life with the birth of my two beautiful children, a free education, a published book, a role as a producer, some modeling work, and many published photos in various forms of media.
My sorrows have fallen with the loss of people in my life, some through death, and some through issues of the heart. Any disappointments that I have endured, have been taken in stride, always as learning lessons. What has remained consistent though, was the need for the nurturing of my soul, and heart fulfillment. Throughout my life, I searched endlessly for that soulmate, whom I felt was out there, who could make my soul dance and my heart happy. After much prayer, last fall, a familiar soul was brought to me. That soul has been the most beautiful joy in my life, for which I am eternally grateful for. With this soul, I have experienced rebirth. It has been the greatest, most heartfelt gift, that I have ever been given. This soul dances with me as a twin, in the flame that we call life.
My photo of the magnolia blossoms, which I took at Otterbein University, also represents rebirth in life. Annually, the magnolia blossoms make their reappearance, after a long season of harsh elements, all fresh in perfect form once again. Rebirth is cleansing, self reflecting, and can take many forms, in many strengths, throughout one’s journey through life. I am happy and blessed to have been able to have received this gift, through the grace of my twin spirit, so that we both can be whole. The beauty of the magnolia blossom is love. Love is the rebirth of the soul.
