Greetings, I’m Michelle.
I was born in 1967, to a salesman and a stay at home mom. I remember my Mom telling me that I was too bright for her when I was born, she had to dim my light just a little so she could survive. Mom would tell me I speak too much or I was too loud… so, I quieted and started hiding. That’s how I remember it anyway. Mom and I struggled a lot growing up together, but in our later years we learned how to work together and healed our connection. As I write this, I’m 58 and she is 79, and we know we belong together.
I struggled with my Dad too. He an alpha masculine man, I an alpha feminine woman. Over the years we would butt heads, frustrated that we could not understand one another. But, last year, he said to me “do you know about Indigo Children? I think you might be one… “ So I looked it up. And I finally felt seen and understood by my Father. It was amazing! He died 2 weeks later. This is how life goes sometimes… if you’re lucky, you realize you actually do belong with your family. Even if it’s at the end of a life.
I’ve always known that I am a medicine woman, but I haven’t known how to tell you. Maybe it’s because I was born to parents who could not see, or speak the same light language as me. Or, because I was afraid of not belonging. It doesn’t really matter why. I spent almost 50 years of my life hiding and quiet. But the light inside of me was still very much alive.
Somewhere in my very late 40s a tiny little spark lit up inside my womb, some call it a Kundalini awakening. This spark said to me “It’s time to come out of hiding.” I knew this meant it was time to reclaim the parts of me that were hiding. And, I knew that something in my life needed to change to make space for my reclamation. So, I got divorced, and we sold our house. I moved my teenage son and myself to an apartment and entered a shamanic healing journey to remember who I am.
These are my stories and this is my light.
