Welcome to My Story · Introduction

Cinematic banner for My Story introduction

This is a doorway, not a diary.

I am telling you the truth of how I became who I am. I am sharing the lessons that shaped me and the love that held me when I could not hold myself.

As I grew I realized that God was not far away. God was present within me. That awareness changed how I saw my past and how I chose my future.

I began to see patterns and permissions. I began to see the places where I had agreed with fear and where I could agree with peace instead.

These gates will walk you through the same remembrance. You will meet responsibility. You will honor ownership. You will retrain your mind. You will practice presence. You will return to yourself.

Move with intention. Read slowly. Breathe between the lines. Let your spirit speak when the words land.

If something opens in you, pause and receive it. You are safe here. You are welcome here. You are already becoming.

Gate 1

Gate 1: Responsibility

Theme: I choose what I carry, and I can choose again.  |  Branch: Responsibility  |  Mantra: I release what I inherited. I choose what I become.

My Story

I reached a moment when I could not make sense of my life. I asked God, if you love me, why would you allow so many painful experiences. In prayer I heard this. You came to Earth through two energy sources, your parents. They carried fear and trauma, and they taught you that fear and trauma. You accepted it as truth. You believed it. You trusted it. You used your power to create from it. It was not punishment. It was permission. You were powerful, and you produced what you agreed to carry.

In that moment I realized I was not a victim of God. I was powerful, and my power had been agreeing with old lessons. So I took responsibility. Yes, I came in through those energies. Yes, I accepted those teachings. Yes, I kept them into my adulthood. Because I am responsible, I can choose again. I can give myself a new lesson and retrain my mind. Responsibility became my doorway back to myself.

What I am teaching here

  • Responsibility is not blame. It is choice.
  • Responsibility is not shame. It is ownership of power.
  • Responsibility says, I see what I carried, and I release what is not mine.
  • When I take responsibility, I move from reaction to creation.

A gentle practice

  • Name it: I notice fear or shame or anger.
  • Locate the source: I learned this from my house or my family or my past.
  • Return it: I thank this lesson for how it tried to protect me, and I return what is not mine.
  • Choose again: I choose peace, clarity, and love.
  • Act in alignment: One small action today will match my new choice.

Journal prompts

  • What belief did I inherit that I am ready to return
  • Where have I been reacting instead of choosing
  • What new lesson do I give myself today
  • What action will match my new lesson

Gate 2

Gate 2: Ownership

Theme: I see what I chose, and I choose with clarity now.  |  Branch: Ownership  |  Mantra: I honor my power by honoring my choices.

My Story

I will never forget the moment I asked God why I had spent so much time in a relationship that never became what I hoped for. I saw such beauty in him. I saw potential. I saw what he could be if he ever reached the level I imagined for him. I hoped he would see me as someone sent to help him face himself. I hoped he would choose me. I hoped I could help bring out the best version of him.

None of that happened.

I felt hurt and disappointed, and I went to God asking why he allowed me to stay so long. The answer was clarity. God said, You chose what you saw in your mind instead of what was in front of you. You dated the potential, not the person. You saw truth, but you ignored it. You tolerated what did not honor you. You accepted less than what you wanted. That was not my decision. That was yours.

In that moment something lifted. It was not blame. It was clarity. I realized I was not powerless. I was powerful. I had been using my power without awareness. I had been choosing from longing instead of choosing from truth. I had been hoping someone would become what they never showed me they wanted to become.

Ownership entered my life right there. When I accepted that I made choices that shaped my outcome, I also accepted that I could make new choices that shaped a new future. Ownership did not shame me. Ownership freed me. Ownership returned my power to me.

What I am teaching here

  • Ownership is not self punishment. It is self awareness.
  • Ownership says, I see the choice I made and I see the choice I can make now.
  • Ownership turns why did this happen to me into what was I agreeing to.
  • Once I own my choice, I own my change.

A gentle practice

  • Pause: I give myself a moment to feel without judgment.
  • Witness: I look at what actually happened, not what I hoped would happen.
  • Name my part: I acknowledge the choices I made or tolerated.
  • Release blame: I release the need to make someone else responsible for my decisions.
  • Choose truth: I choose actions that honor the reality I see now, not the fantasy I once held.

Journal prompts

  • What truth did I ignore because I hoped for something else
  • Where did I choose potential instead of reality
  • What part of this story belongs to me
  • What new choice honors who I am today

Gate 3

Gate 3: Retraining

Theme: I re-teach my mind to hold truth.  |  Branch: Retraining  |  Mantra: I choose both wholeness and provision.

My Story

I had a season of abundance and then a season of lack. I asked my mentor, how did you get so close to God. He told me a story that changed my life. One day God asked him, what would you give up for me. He said he would give up everything, including money.

I told him that when God asked me that question, I would give the same answer. In time God asked me, what do you want, me or money. I said, I want you, and my money went away.

Later I realized I did not have to choose. God is everything. I could have it all. I needed to retrain my mind from either or to both and. I began to say, I can have God and money. I can have God and wealth. I can have God and wholeness. I can have it all without losing God.

This retraining changed my life. My mind learned a new path. My choices began to match it. My life followed.

What I am teaching here

  • Retraining is rewriting the pattern your mind repeats.
  • Your brain believes what you repeat with feeling and action.
  • Move from either or to both and where truth allows.
  • Attention directs energy. Practice directs outcomes.
  • Small aligned steps confirm the new lesson.

A gentle practice

  • Name it: I notice an either or belief.
  • Reframe it: What is the honest both and here.
  • Affirm it: I can have God and provision.
  • See it: Picture your life with both present.
  • Act on it: Take one small step that matches both.

Journal prompts

  • Where did I learn I had to choose.
  • What is my new both and statement today.
  • What action will match my new lesson.
Community reflection: What either or belief are you ready to retrain into both and.

Gate 4

Gate 4: Present

Theme: I return to the moment where my life is happening.  |  Branch: Presence  |  Mantra: I come home to myself now.

My Story

I have gifts that allow me to travel in spirit. I visit the past, I visit the future, and I listen for those who have gone on. I noticed that the people I was helping were growing quickly. They were evolving and receiving breakthroughs. I asked God why my own goals were not moving at that same pace.

In prayer I heard this. You spend much time in the future and much time in the past. Your life is unfolding in the present. Come back here. Minister to yourself here. Give thanks here. Choose here.

When I began honoring the present moment, my manifestations started showing up faster. What I spoke over my life appeared more quickly because I was finally home to receive it.

What I am teaching here

  • Presence is an active return to the moment where your power lives.
  • The past holds wisdom and the future holds vision, but creation only happens now.
  • Your gifts serve you better when you are grounded in the present.
  • When I choose presence, I meet my blessings in real time.

A gentle practice

  • Breathe: Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four.
  • Name now: Notice what you can see, hear, feel, smell, and taste.
  • Bless now: Whisper, “I bless what is and I choose what will be.”
  • Act: Take one small aligned step today.
  • Anchor: Place your hand over your heart and affirm, “I am here.”

Journal prompts

  • Where do I abandon the present most often
  • What brings me back to now
  • What blessing is already here that I have not received
  • What action today aligns with my intention
Community reflection: What is one thing in your present moment that deserves your attention today

Gate 5

Gate 5: Return

Theme: I return to the truth of who I was before fear.  |  Branch: Return  |  Mantra: I come home to my original self.

My Story

Return did not come through one moment or one revelation. It came through everything God had shown me across all the gates. Every lesson, every healing, every shift. There came a quiet realization: before I learned fear, struggle, or pain—I already knew good. I already knew peace. I already knew abundance. That was my original state.

Return awakened the day I said, “I don’t have to have this. I don’t have to live by what I inherited.” I remembered that before there was trauma, before there was confusion, before there was resistance—there was God, and there was good. And I could return to that original space. Not by pretending. Not by pushing. But by remembering.

What I am teaching here

  • Return is not going backward. It is going inward.
  • Return remembers the version of you untouched by fear.
  • Return says, “I choose alignment over memory.”
  • When you return, you bring your power home.

A gentle practice

  1. Close your eyes and remember a moment when life felt good.
  2. Name the feeling in that moment—peace, joy, ease.
  3. Say to yourself: “This belongs to me.”
  4. Breathe that feeling into your present moment.
  5. Choose one action today that matches that feeling.

Journal prompts

  • What part of me am I ready to return to?
  • Where have I mistaken survival for identity?
  • What original feeling do I want back?
  • What action supports my return?
Community reflection: What part of yourself are you ready to return to today?
