The One Gift Divorce Gave Me

She Will Rise — a poem that came through when I was falling apart.

One quiet evening, as I sat with the deep sadness and disbelief of my impending divorce, I felt a soft, gentle voice whispering within me.

It was so clear, it felt as though I was speaking aloud to myself.

Curious, I leaned in, wondering what this could be.

A message?

I expected it to be brief, but the words kept flowing, like a gentle river.

In that moment, I realized it was Divine wisdom, a light from within, rising to meet me and speak directly to my soul—luminous, gentle, and brilliant.

What became of that divine message was a poem I titled ‘She Will Rise’

This was the first time in many months that I had experienced God’s Divine guidance so audibly.

I felt as if angels had descended upon me, sitting on my shoulder and whispering in my ear.

This feeling was a sacred kind of bliss—like heaven leaning close.
I felt held in God’s sweet embrace.

This divine guidance—this inner wisdom from God, my higher power—still speaks to me.

Sometimes the messages arrive in the silence of my soul as I’m walking in nature.

Other times, they find me in the chaos of a crowded city piazza.

That intuitive, beautiful, wise voice… it’s how God and I communicate.

“I now see every moment of my day as a living prayer.”

Grace, truth, wisdom, and infinite love live within each of us. We simply have to soften enough to hear what’s already speaking—those quiet prayers inside our own souls.

This wisdom is the spiritual essence of who we are. 💛👑

In these moments of awe, I feel an incredibly deep connection with God.

I’m overcome with gratitude—wide-open wonder—in the stillness.

And you have this too: your own inner sanctuary… your personal connection to the Divine, living deep within your soul.

May you feel the presence of that luminous light within you—always. 💛👑

She Will Rise

She danced for a long while until she couldn’t dance anymore. 

She was exhausted and fell apart. 

The sadness penetrated the depths of her soul as she spiraled downward. 

But she knew she could not stay down. No.

She must RISE. 

Crawling led to climbing. Back up she went. 

Without hesitation, without a thought. 

In her eyes, there was nowhere else to go. 

The way MUST be UP. 

Following brokenness, devastation, wailing, heartache, indescribable loss, pain, and rivers of tears, she reached the first summit and she cried tears of JOY. 

There she was! All by herself.

She made it when she knew not how! 

There she stood at a new beginning. 

So many choices, so many different paths to choose from. 

How does she decide? 

She ponders only for a moment.

She knows right away. 

She will follow her heart, her truth, her song. 

Therein lay her Inspiration, her purpose, her JOY.

Her future self.

Now is the time to begin again. So she did.
