Finding My Elbow
welcome!
You have landed in this created space called finding my elbow. A safe, sacred, and therapeutic space that is kind, but carefully crafted to build an anchoring cord, which serves to strengthen your movement towards emotional wholeness, through soul care.
This kind of care is unique and is often not addressed as an immediate necessity, until the symptom of ignoring your soul is evident in actions, thoughts, and responses.
I believe, “Our soul is the collective of every experience from the time of awareness.” CWI2020. ©
Meaning that moment in time a child meets themselves and is impacted by that meeting going forward into life. Think about the vastness of that statement. Every experience. Whether it’s beautiful, corrosive, supportive, unyielding, or traumatic. In the expanse of these experiences lies my purpose.
Finding My Elbow in its infancy was formed to pay homage to my weight loss journey. Of course, FME has its roots in me. I share with you; the story of a little girl having silent shame-based experiences with no outlet or courage to tell or whisper them safely to anyone. My silence found its comfort in food, so I allowed myself to be comforted, until my elbow was hard to find!
Most of us have painful stories, some are intersecting, some are parallel and such, but they all are unique. Because each of us are created so specific, so intimately defined, no two persons will process and heal in the same manner. Soul healing is individualized. Think about this, your identity is developed by the influence of the physical environment, the family dynamic, spiritual belief systems, and hereditary factors. The crux is this, every experience is imprinted upon our soul.
To describe my purpose for being born, is second nature to breathing. I’m a change agent. I’m a catalyst, I’m a stakeholder, I’m the one who gives you permission to “See what you see and say what you saw.” CWL 2018. I can recognize your silent screams without you saying a word. I can recognize the signature of your soul; I can hear its sad song.
Finding My Elbow is the umbrella that covers the beautiful work of two flag ship events, the first being, Spiritual and Emotional Wholeness in the Body of Christ (SEWBOCC). It is specifically designed to address spiritual abuse, and traumas associated and perpetrated within the faith-based community. SEWBOCC is developed with leaders and lay in mind. Whereas Soul Search Saturday is more intimate and covers the gamut of poor mental health, (not mental illness) with linkage to appropriate referral sources for continued care if indicated.
My approach to the attendees, audiences is practical and empirical. I possess empathy and insight into the chaos and the internal struggle of a weary soul. I understand being labeled and having the burden of not being good enough. I understand verbal and psychological abuse. I understand! And for this reason, Finding My Elbow exists. I am your Soul-Care Warrior!
