Brokenness is not something to fear. Brokenness peels away layers that are no longer serving you.
This is the story of my unraveling...
My mother used to tell me that if I worked hard, my dreams would come true. Being my overachiever, I pushed myself to the limits physically and emotionally. I won't dwell on the details, but let me tell you, it was far from enjoyable. I ended up in a state where I couldn't work anymore and had to focus on my health. Suddenly, it felt like life had lost all its flavor and zest. I was left trying to make sense of this new world unfolding.
I felt like a broken piñata, and all the confetti inside me—the heart of my soul—was scattered around me in a swirling display of chaos and beauty. There were colors and textures within me that I never knew existed, and it was both frightening and exhilarating. My unraveling exposed me to greater possibilities.
Until then, I had been chasing success, but it seemed just out of reach. It was as if I were a batch of champurrado, overflowing in response to the rising heat of life's challenges. After unraveling, I realized I was hiding an amazing tapestry of magic deep within my soul. My next task was to pick up the pieces and create a new version of myself, one that proudly displayed my newfound value to the world.
Today, I am venturing, experiencing, and introducing this "new me" to those I encounter. My mission on this Tierra Canela (Earth) is to serve others. I want to use my experiences of unraveling and growth to inspire others to search for their magic because that is where they'll find their true source of strength and power.
This journey catalyzes growth as we explore the vast expanse of the unknown. My greatest wish is that my words offer you healing and love. Together, we will laugh, cry, and embark on wonderful adventures.
Open your heart to our world's beautiful flavors and aromas, and you'll discover that life is meant to be experienced. I am joyously here to show you the way.
Amor y Canela,
Monica
