Spiritual Awakening: The Facts Of Life!!!

 Today’s blog entry was inspired by The TV Show The Facts Of Life. As I watched the intro and listened to the lyrics I began to think how each character relates to a spiritual awakening lesson and how each one character gave us some tips that we can apply on our journey to spiritual enlightenment.  We all had a Ms. Garrett in our lives at one time. The person who we could confide in and the person that was there to lift us up when we were down and encourage us to keep going when things seemed bleak.  My Ms. Garrett was my mother, who passed on July 5, 2012. My mom played a big role in my spiritual awakening and even though she is no longer on earth in her human form her presence is felt daily through many messages that I receive. Who was your Ms. Garrett.

 There was Joe who was the tomboy tough outer exterior with a kind and caring interior who illustrated the ideal that even though we may seem tough on the outside we may have some inner conflicts to resolve as we achieve a spiritual awakening. There was Blair the spoiled rich girl who had no cares until she realized that everyone was in the situation together and thus taught us about inner connectivity and we reminded us that we are one. There was Trudy who was the young one trying to fit in and discover who she was showing us all that we are all seeking our purpose.  There was Natalie the bubbly girl who was masking some issues reminding us that in order to have a spiritual awakening and to be spiritually enlightened we must face our issues and come to a resolution of accepting who we are and not being afraid to be our true, authentic, and transparent self.
