I have spent much of my adult life seeking a missing piece of myself. I had no idea where to look and I really didn’t even know if I would recognize it when I saw it. For as long as I can recall, I have been hearing projections of others telling me things like “You are too much, too loud, too strong, too driven, too sensitive, too needy, too independent.” This list goes on. I felt like I was existing in the fringe; not a part; not fitting in. The piece of me I was seeking was the space where I was just enough.
In a dark moment of depression, when I was not sure how to face the life I was suffering through, I felt a warm, safe presence. She comforted me and showered me in assurance and stability. As the energy supported me, I heard “You were born for this.” I instantly knew I was in the presence of Joan of Arc.
Since that morning, I have learned to find the missing pieces I seek by calling in Ascended Master Goddesses and soaking in all they have to offer. I am thrilled to introduce you to a few Goddesses that I have found to be supportive. I am sharing my interpretation and information that I have received from these Goddesses. You may receive differing information or have other interpretations and they are all perfect!
