TRANSFORMATION – I have a much greater understanding of the learning process and what it means to be a living spirit having a human experience.  I know that I am always evolving and growing into the next higher version of myself.  I have found my way back home, to my true self and every day I use that as my North Star.  I am renewed in spirit and strong in faith.  I try to live every day as a Phoenix bird, allowing all the pieces and layers that are not my true self and that do not come from spirit to burn away to ashes, so that I can be renewed again and forever free to fly and sing my love song to the world!

The origin of the word TRANSFORMATION:   (Etymonline)

  “Transformation” means “to change form; trans = cross over/across”.  What we learn should transform us.  It should empower us to cross over any boundaries or obstacles in order to get to the other side.  It should give us the “lentes nuevos” that we need to transform and see more clearly that which we need to change, that which we do not need to change and to acquire the wisdom in our hearts to know the difference.  We should always be seeking to figure things out in order to learn and grow into an even better version of ourselves today than we were yesterday.  Every day, we should ask ourselves, “what will I pass on today?”;  “how may I serve the Greater Good of humanity?”; “what difference have I made?”;  “what piece of my heart have I shared to create greater peace in the world?”
