Question: Please let me tell you about myself. I am having trouble with depression and anxiety. I had a panic attack almost in the supermarket today. I am seeing a psychiatrist and on medication but it helps only a little. My soul is empty I have been through a lot of pain. From being abused as a child, to growing up in one foster home after another, I never knew love as an adult. I was physically and mentally abused by boyfriends. I am a former alcoholic. I have almost been on the street homeless. I have lived in dumps where I thought I would take my life. I am now living in a small studio. I thank God for that, I really do, but I am on disability and I can barely buy myself anything. I am in such a rut. I do the same thing day after day month after month. I feel like I am wasting my only life away. I have a dream to be a writer and to help others and I don’t know how to start because all I think is negative. I think I am too dumb too even get started. It hurts to be my age and not feel proud of anything I did with my life. I am 49 year old bag. There has got to be hope for me.

P.

Dear P.,
My dear, you are not a dumb old bag. You are an incredible and unique manifestation of Divine Light, an empowered spark of Divine power. This, in itself, is a beautiful thing. Love yourself and keep moving forward. You need to make a commitment to find joy in your world. Remember, when you get up and start moving, you can move mountains.

To find joy, affirm: I know my energy is needed in more ways than I can imagine. When I offer my sacred self to others I can find my soul work. I am part of a timeless, universal equation that knows no boundaries, therefore, I my potential is limitless. I help to evolve my God-self. I am significant and feel proud knowing that, within all things I am the air, the love, and the thought of the Divine, who creates through me.
