Empathic poet's pilgrimage

Donation protected
Hello!! I have embarked on a journey of radical self-love. For the past few years, I have made radical changes in my life to transform fear into love. I found a support system within my writing. I can take what feels like a jumbled mess of mind at times and focus my energy and feel myself love. A couple months ago, I left my steady paycheck job as a school social worker and my safe space and moved states to work on a small organic vegetable farm. The green energy and protection of the mountains has helped me blossom. I now accepted myself as a writer and recently I begun sharing my work on Instagram. @poetry_of_jfinghendrix It was terrifying at first but I knew it the next step in my personal development. I am working on a book of poetry now and am so excited to share this with the world. I have just now accepted myself as an empath. This means that I have the ability to absorb the emotions of other beings. It is something that has overwhelmed me all of my life. I have spent so much of my life fearful of human interaction. I often find myself in a bubble of my own making and fearful of ever leaving this safe space. This fear has become less evident as I have learned to love and accept myself and I now feel called to travel the United States and push myself even further out of my comfort zone. The courage to do this has built up and is now exploding out of me! I have felt myself a victim for so much of my life but today I declare myself a mother fucking lioness. I am taking back my power and extending it to the world. I want to nurture my empathic gift so I can then help others nurture their own inherent gifts. I want to spend about 1 month beginning in November traveling, writing, attending spiritual and empath workshops and volunteering my time. I want to hire a spiritual coach to help me along the way. I will be exchanging room and board for work at spiritual retreats, farms and parks across the country. I will document my travels through Instagram and I plan to write a book about this adventure. A major lesson that I am learning is how to ask for and receive help. So I am asking for help to cover costs of things such as gas, workshops, spiritual coach, food, ect. I have been gifted so much throughout my life and have an incredible support system in family, friends, all of you and myself!  And I am so grateful for this support! If you feel called to, please let know  if you know of an organization or are part of an organization that has a work exchange program or volunteering programs. I am planning my route now! I am SO grateful for you! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!

 P.S. Hail yourself.
