Welcome to my little online space! Please pull up a cozy chair and let's have a heart to heart! I am a middle-aged woman just figuring out life with all the transitions of children growing up, moving on, becoming a grandma, being a great wife (I didn't say perfect!) I am learning to feel and walk through everything in my life, including past traumas VERSUS ignoring and staying numb. I am throwing out all the garbage that I've internalized and believed as "truth" but really are lies that never have served me (for example....You are too old to start that, You aren't good enough, God can't forgive you for THAT, Get your head out of the clouds and stop dreaming...) You see, I WAS that scrunched-up-in-ball, crying-in-my-pillow-in-the-closet, woman....wanting to please everyone so much that I couldn't remember who SHANLYN really was anymore! I had let myself have very loose boundaries and put myself into a people-pleasing, "conformity" box. This made me feel such sadness, despair, anxious, fearful, numb, and most of all, very exhausted. Do you feel that too? I mean, our Creator is multi-faceted and He made each of us uniquely "us." We are called to shine our one-of-a-kind, unique light!
Jump forward to now....where I am on a journey to re-discover ME again, the one my Creator made me to be, with the passions and missions He laid in my heart before I was born. I am passionate about speaking LIFE, starting with myself, and then passing it on to everyone that crosses my path. I believe we ALL have a story to share with the world....that it makes us who we are, and that we can lift up and help another person by sharing that story with them! What a beautiful thing, right? If I could hug you right now, I would! (Consider yourself cyber-hugged!)
I will share what has helped me have victory and wholeness in my life. Let's be VICTORIOUS and conquer this life with purpose and abundance....together! Here's to One Victory, One Day At A Time...so we can all SHINE the light we are meant to SHINE to help others out of the comfortable patterns of "conformity" into our unique way to SHINE. i PRAY GRACE UPON GRACE TO YOU, SWEET FRIEND. MAY YOU FEEL AND know THAT DEEP, DEEP LOVE FOR YOURSELF AND FOR THOSE IN YOUR WORLD!
