Radiant

You have a glow!

Since my last post, I have completed 60 days of the thyroid cleanse and added turmeric and ashwagandha root to my daily supplements and WOW! I feel AMAZING! I have an abundance of energy that I have not had in a very long time. I honestly cannot believe how much better I feel, look, and sound. Yes sound. There is joy in my talk, my laugh, my hum. I am beyond words at how much of a transformation my body has taken considering how poorly I felt and quite frankly how scared I was about being in my final days.

In this moment in my life, I have to pause and thank God for His awesomeness and healing power. I reflect on this past weekend where I was able to celebrate with friends and get full on their love and friendship without having to leave early, feel weary, and just drag and push through. For the first time in TWO years I have been able to hang out, dance, and enjoy life. I was able to dabble in my love of fashion and dress up and feel beautiful. I was happy to see myself in this place, but also extremely excited to finally be the wife to my husband that he knew before the disease took hold. This weekend felt like our wedding day - a moment where we enjoyed one another and embraced the love of becoming one.

This weekend also reminded me of how long it has been since I have truly received a compliment about how healthy and great I looked. This matters, not because of pride or conceit, but due to the fact that when you truly are not at your best people take notice and out of concern typically do not say much. I mean, would you really like to hear about how sick you look. This weekend there was one resounding word and that was radiant. People told me over and over about how radiant I looked. Wow! Typically I shy away from such comments, but this time I just felt like I needed to take it in and just say thank you. I needed to live in this moment of radiance. To see that what I thought was happening to my body was actually truth as people spoke life into me.

I want to share the definition of radiant as it is so significant to my spiritual walk. Radiant means to send out light, shine or glow brightly. How interesting that the very words I wrote in my journal at the start of this journey and still read quite frequently from Anthony William's book are the following:

"...it's time for you to come into the spiritual significance of your challenges -- because when you attach spiritual meaning to your treasures, it makes them light as light itself. As you bring your thyroid and the rest of your body back to health, you'll be supporting it even more in taking care of your soul's wealth -- wealth you will use to spread divine light to everyone around you." 

What is it about my glow? God's glory and a true testament of healing! My fire is lit and my soul is illuminated.

Stay tuned...
