On December 19, 2022, I received the completed copy of my signed lease extension which officially renewed my time here at SOULworks yet again. The additional three years provided an exact 1290 days within these sacred walls – to the day. Certainly, an interesting alignment for sure.

I bring it up because my original contract would have expired at the end of June and yet because of a divinely inspired renewal, I find myself still here cautiously anticipating what is yet to come. And for some reason, I’ve always believed that if I could just make it to the completion of my original lease agreement, I would be okay. Not remotely understanding the reference in my mind, it just felt as though perhaps my personal tribulations dealing with prophecy would finally come to an end. Of course, I’ve known for many years now that I was preparing for larger life changes yet to unfold. I just never fully understood what all those amendments would eventually look like. And although there’s been many more insights and clarity along the way, most days I still feel like a caged lion ready to implode.

In an effort to keep myself busy, I’ve been cleaning out SOULworks for many, many months now, pretty much preparing to pivot at any given moment and in any given direction, yet still not fully understanding what direction that will eventually be or how long it will take to get there. Many things are still unknown regarding my future, as I guess will always be the case for each of us (freewill and all). But what I’ve come to realize while cleaning out SOULworks Sacred Healing Centre is that the physical cleansing of my sanctuary and metaphysical space, which I’ve both widened and expanded over time, has always been purely symbolic in nature. In truth, I’ve always been further understanding, cleansing, purging, and healing from my own individual past all along, while (often reluctantly) preparing for what is yet to come.

Perhaps it took writing my first book way back in 2012 to fully understand how capable we all are both individually and globally to heal from the past and move forward. From there I worked through many more years of intense spiritual experiences to comprehend what specific past I personally was working to heal and release from, which I later documented in book two. Moving onwards, it further required publishing book three to even begin to understand the full magnitude involved to incorporate and then embody that sacred healing wisdom held within.

Since publishing my third book, I would describe the last 14 months as the hardest I’ve ever endured. I’ve watched more and more people walk away from SOULworks, tired of my self-professed connections to prophecy. I’ve witnessed my business slowly deplete in both inventory and flow well beyond what has ever come to pass. I’ve watched myself grow weary and broken spirited often completely beyond words. I’ve witnessed intermittent sparks of revival as I’ve struggled to find my footing. And even though I’ve perhaps personally transcended many of my own past life experiences as well as countless insecurities towards my future, there are many days I certainly wonder if I’ll have anything left beyond this age-old story and timeline.   

In truth, however, one thing always remains: my continued faith in all things. Faith in the bigger picture, faith in my ability to navigate my mission within it, and faith regarding the divinely appointed timeline still in motion, which ironically has also become my saving grace. Because with the arrival of June 30 just around the corner, it officially marks the completion of my original lease agreement here at SOULworks; yet here I am, still committed to stay for a time. And even though my resilience has waivered, I do know I’m destined to assist on some level within our global transformation still in progress. Quite fittingly, I also find myself stepping across the finish line of my own inner purging with today marking the end of my cleaning spree here at SOULworks. Symbolic and otherwise, I have officially cleansed and purged both my heart and soul from what has once been, what is, and even what is yet to come. And for whatever it’s worth, I offer full forgiveness to myself and all others for our shared collective tapestries interwoven throughout time. More specifically, I offer full forgiveness and healing for my misunderstood and misrepresented biblical entanglement, paradoxically having been both revered yet scornfully written out of my own story. Thankfully I have since recovered the higher truth of my unique past trauma initiated by the arrival of my second book on March 14, 2017, further unearthed within my arms, and now fully restored within the archives of my soul. With the onset of my new contract officially on the clock, that is a full and very specific 2,300 days to completion.

Ironically, after all that time I still don’t know what my future holds. But when a prophetic biblical reference pertaining to closure and new beginnings arrives on the heels of my SOULworks cleansing and contract renewal, you better believe I take notice. I can only assume this important milestone signifies the dawning of our global restoration; perhaps looming in the background for quite sometime now yet destined to commence its final descent towards renewal. And just like any other change worth navigating, the best course of action we can take both individually and collectively is to simply move forward: one awareness at a time, one heart-centred choice at a time, one moment of faith at a time.

Please remember to stay within the frequency of both love and faith for yourself and all others as we traverse the last upheavals most assuredly on the way. Technically we are poised for quite the remarkable collective restoration whether we feel ready for its arrival or not. And if you are anything like me, regardless of the extensive personal transformation already fulfilled or the considerable amounts of uncertainty, healing, and upheavals yet to surface, at the end of the day (and when I am being completely honest with myself), I am way more tired and restless of staying caged within our collective old story and belief systems than I am to finally opening my books, higher truth and authentic messages to the world. For myself, whether that is accomplished behind the scenes in a slow, gentle progression spanning a few more years from now, a turbulent more public unfoldment equally as long, or one rapid more miraculous transformation within the blink of an eye, all scenarios point to the inevitable; our collective crossroads towards global ascension has finally and formally arrived. Regardless of how gracefully we move through this last part of the process or what that fully entails, for myself I know I’ve been preparing both my SOUL – and – works for this very moment in time for many, many years now. More importantly I have officially and irrevocably freed myself from the shared story of our collective past. So, when the stars most assuredly align within our divine appointment in time and I find myself called to the forefront of a larger global arena, I know I will be ready. Or not. Honestly, it depends on the day. What I do know for sure is that the final quarter lap of our collective restoration is about to begin. So regardless of the rumblings still coming to the surface or the monumental changes bearing down before us, from my perspective and vantage point we are officially turning the corner and heading down the homestretch. And if I were to hedge my bets on our final sprint to the finish line, I’d say faith and higher truth will win by a landslide, even if a photo finish is required.😉

All my love and blessings,
