    Hey my Wreckage Clearers! in this episode we discuss how comfort keeps up stuck. It keeps us bound to the same level of life. The same routine. The same behaviors. The familiar. The known. We all have vices and or something we escape toward to bring us comfort. It could be food, sex, drugs, alcohol, or it could be our default behaviors. Such as yelling, screaming, shutting down when we are triggered. These certain behaviors give us a sense of comfort. But what if we became too comfortable? Even in darkness our eyes can adjust. Are we becoming to comfortable in the darkness? Well I explain to you how in the uncomfortable is how I was finally able to see light and look within and began to clear the wreckage. In that darkness and in that discomfort somehow It became familiar and I became comfortable with the darkness. It wasn't until it all became really uncomfortable, that there was a chance for change and a glimmer of hope. Maybe it is time for us to realize that the discomfort is there to help us evolve and grow and produce wings and turn into a butterfly.

    Hey My Wreckage Clearers! In this episode we discuss how darkness has now fully enclosed around me. I am now in my cocoon and I am afraid of the dark. I don't know why this is happening. I don't understand and because I don't understand, I must escape. However, you cannot escape the darkness. Every where I turned it was more darkness, there was no light. You cannot escape this type of darkness, by trying to escape it all I did was prolong the stages of darkness. I also share with you how because of the pain and the hurt I was feeling it was too much to take. Have you ever felt that way? Where you just cannot take the pain or the feelings of heart break or hurt or even disappointment or abandonment or even death. You are so used to the familiar that this unknown is way too scary for you to experience. This is what I was going through at that time in my life. I encourage you to clear the wreckage and do not prolong the stages of darkness.

    Hey my Wreckage Clearers!! It has been a journey hasn't it. Well, it's time to go into the dark places where you and I do not want to go. It is total darkness and we can't see and it feels like complete desolation and doom. However, the darkness has to invade so that there will be light. Eventually we must and we will if we allow the process to take place without interrupting, come to light. I am sharing this episode with you so that you know exactly what not to do. When the darkness is closing in, stay in it and trust the process. Know that there is a good reason for everything to be dark around you. It has become dark so that light will invade your heart. The problem is, we just don't know when. Instead, we disrupt the growth process and take matters into our own hands. I openly disclose what happened during that time in my life, in hope that you will not repeat the same cycle. Hoping you will learn from my mistakes in this one. However, later on down the line, you may come to know that the darkness was necessary, right now it may be a little hard to see. Well yeah!! Cause it's dark!! Lol!
