My Story - by Jani Roberts

When I was a little girl, I was so connected. To the trees, to the sky, to my family, to animals, to God. There was no doubt in my mind that life was beautiful and amazing. I knew it when I rode my pony, went sled riding in our backyard, rolled down the hill landing in a pile of leaves, and as I walked through the forest to visit my grandmother. I am so connected to all of this, I thought to myself 'I could feel the trees breathing. God is good.' I just knew it.

Then I grew up and while my heart held these beliefs close, I began unlearning these powerful truths. I started to pay attention to what other people said, thought, and believed. It became important to me although I really didn’t understand why. No one told me it mattered, it just seemed like it should. To be honest, I actually didn’t really like people that much. I liked animals. They were much easier to talk to and always loved me unconditionally even when I lost patience with them, unlike people.

My story has taken many turns, as I’m sure yours has as well. It’s been amazing, horrible, fantastic, and miserable. It’s been painful, lonely, and full of life, and it has come full circle. I have finally reconnected, remembering who I am: a little girl just figuring it out and trying to have as much fun as possible.

I’ve found that my patterns of behavior have created beliefs, some have served me; some not so much. But it’s good to understand what you don’t want or like as it brings you closer to understanding what feels right. I truly believe that the Universe loves me and knows my heart. I believe this to be true for each of us.

I know that I have not made mistakes nor has anyone else (this can be a hard truth to swallow 'cause them who ya gonna blame?) but I believe each of us is doing the best that we can with the tools that we are aware of.

Each day I build new beliefs, change patterns, and find new ways of thinking. I care less about what others think and more about how I feel. I remember to mind my own business and always try to treat others as I would like to be treated. This is my promise. And when I get stuck in the mud, I’ll do what I need to do. Even if it means leaving the shoes behind.

Each day I will work the practice. I will quiet my mind. I will listen. I will try.
