When you are ready to make a change in your spiritual life, it usually comes when you realize that you've hit rock bottom in some way. Things like a bad break-up, losing your job or admitting that you have a codependency on substances like alcohol or drugs can trigger a transformation. The good news is that the only movement is up from there.

​

   Transformation can take many forms. One sure-fire way to start is by changing how and what you think. How you think about your life, the choices you've made and where you are at this moment can and will determine how successful you are at changing the aspects that you don't like about your life. What you think is important as well.

   

   A huge part of transformation has to do with being grateful. When you are grateful for all the good, bad and ordinary events that have happened in your life, you become a free and light-hearted Spirit. Gratitude doesn't make bad things not happen, nor does it make good things turn bad. Gratitude opens you up to appreciate all that life brings you and allows you to handle people, places, things and situations in a gracious manner.

​

   Transformation takes practice and time, but it can be done. There is no timeline for it. You just make the choice to choose grace every day. Be thankful for who you are because your experiences make you unique. There's no one else like you on the planet. Yes, there are people who have had similar paths, experiences and outcomes, but they aren't and never will be just like you. 

​

  When we are willing to burn away  self sabotage, selfishness and old habits that do not serve us, we rise from the ashes of our former selves, and rise, newly transformed into a mighty Phoenix, a true symbol of immortality and a reminder that energy never dies, because it is constantly changing. So tell me: Are you ready to become a Phoenix Rising?
