I want to share with you my life experiences and techniques I had found to overcome challenges we face. I had recently found harmony in self expression, and it has brought out many wonderful qualities within myself.
I will soon talk about how art and music influence my spirituality and personal growth, but I must mention a few things first. I was not always so good at expressing myself. Actually, I was very good at hiding my true self from others. I want to start by mentioning that I am transgendered, which simply means I am a woman who was born in a mans body. I had always felt this way and my heart and mind is no different than any other woman. I was not always so eager and comfortable talking about this, but I had made tremendous effort to accept and love myself as I am.
It was 2008 when I decided to move forward in my life and be true to who I really am. How can anyone really know who you are inside if you are not projecting yourself on the outside? Before I came true to myself I had tried many things to act and be more masculine in attempt to hide my true self. such as going into the Marine Corps. I was in college at Suny Canton when I decided to put everything else on hold, and focus entirely on becoming myself. the year 2009 was a year of shapeshifting for me, and learning a lot about who I am and my interests. I found that once I was able to accept myself my artistic talents and musical skills had improved significantly. Meditation also was easier because my mind was less burdened with desires of what was to come. I finally felt free.
In life we constantly change and evolve as individuals, and certain challenges we overcome can make us stronger or weaker depending on how we handle them. We will not always succeed at overcoming challenges, but if we at least try we can remember them as a positive experience to be learned from.
I had in the last couple of years decided to dedicate primarily on self expression and helping others to express themselves too. I had started a business called 'stellar creations' or 'funktional creations' where I make jewelry and other items to sell at various festivals. Each piece that I make is dear to me, because I put a lot of love and positive energy into my work. I charge every piece with Reiki energy, and meditate while doing my craft work. I am also working on a musical career, and am learning and writing new songs almost every day. I plan to eventually perform as a band, or solo, once a few preparations are made. I consider my music like no other, but inspired by progressive world fusion style.
I have two web pages, the first is to promote my art and jewelry, and the second is an attempt to promote self expression.
Blessed Be.
I look forward to reading more about your life experiences and insights into expression! I think you're a lovely person and I'm so glad to have met you. :)
