Valentine’s Day with my soulmate fills my heart with enormous gratitude!  It is quite humbling and beautiful to share my life with a man who is my kindred soul emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically.  I could not possibly do anything to deserve such a gift, thus leading me to understand that we all deserve such love  simply because we are.  Thank you for sharing life with me Mario, and I aspire to continue healing to share more of myself with you and really expand our journey of possibilities!

Now approaching 50 and wide awake, I see my life much differently.  I have been blessed to love some amazing men and I am grateful for every one and all that we learned about ourselves along the way.  Some of my relationships were short, others longer.  Some hurt deeply while others flitted by like a rainbow…or a hurricane.  Every one was important for my soul journey and I would not trade a single experience, for now I am able to be evermore present in ways I never dreamed possible.

With my equal as my love, we are each committed to fully developing ourselves individually and standing together as two whole beings sharing this life experience rather than a codependent completion of one another.  This commitment quickly reveals those places I choose to further my own evolution, not for him, but for me, knowing that a better me automatically creates a better ‘we’.  If this sounds more distant in ways than many relationships nowadays, I find the opposite is true.  Being together purely by desire rather than need creates a commitment given freely and deeply from moment to moment.  What a gift!

Happy Valentine’s Day to you!  May today be a catalyst to love ourselves even more, for this will lead us to love every other with more honor, more compassion, and more presence.

Today’s Ceremony Detox Menu:  Chocolates, sweets, and fancy dinners will not be a part of our Valentine’s Day celebration this year as we are both on this diet to journey into the Peruvian Amazon together soon.  For now it’s a green drink and boiled egg for breakfast, water and herb teas, and split pea soup with tossed organic greens salads for dinner.  Fresh organic strawberries (sans chocolate but full of flavor) will round out dessert.

Tonight’s Unplugged Time:  Kissing, touching, and sexual intimacy are withheld in preparation for ceremony to bring our most heightened senses and energy into the jungle.  This Valentine’s Day we will enjoy walking together, talking together and fully indulging in each others’ company.  That feels bountiful…what a clue I’m with the right guy!

Namaste and much love,

Sheryl Sitts, Founder, Journey of Possibilities

Spirit guided me to create this “Countdown to Sacred Plant Medicine Intensive”  blog series to help demystify this sacred healing/awakening path while simplifying the dietary preparations by sharing practical ways I am preparing for the Amazon while working and living in a modern society.   If something I share sparks your curiosity or interest, please COMMENT BELOW and let’s create a conversation here.  I receive no compensation for sharing here but am drawn by my heart to create a safe space and portal of possibility for anyone seeking hope and help to know there are many natural solutions we have not fully explored.  Only by searching within and carefully selecting holistic modalities that resonate for us and practitioners who hold their work and healing space sacred can we truly unlock our own amazing journey of possibilities!  I am here for you if I can help in any way.  Namaste.
