RECOGNIZING I HAD A SOUL

As I try to collect my memories from the time in Savannah, actually my job was in Savannah but we chose to live in Richmond Hill for the school system for Brandon. There are so many things I feel I need to share about this time that it’s hard for me to decide where to start. I believe I mentioned before that Brandon had some serious difficulties in a previous blog. He actually spend a year in an Outdoor Residential Treatment program in North Carolina for treatment of what he was diagnosed as “Oppositional Disorder”. That period he was in treatment was a very tough time for the whole family and I will cover the full details when I am lead to go back to the time before moving. It was here in Richmond Hill Brandon came back home to us.

We found this quaint older home for rent in Richmond Hill. It was right near a title creek that was filled from the ocean. There was this beautiful marsh out in front of the house too. It was such a peaceful and serene place but inside of me was anything but peaceful at this time. We had to actually drive three miles down a dirt/sand road to get to this area it was called Cranston Bluff.

I know now looking back this to was a part of my awakening even though it was minor in true knowledge of what was really going on in the world. It was here in the house at Cranston Bluff that I felt the presence of Source/God for the first time in my life within my heart. I was 27 years of age.

I would come home from the job that I was supposed to be so happy about because I was on “on my way” with my career to an older home that wasn’t anything like the beautiful house that Rick had built us back in Rome. My first things that I noticed at home was the lack of “creature comforts” or “maternal things”. I missed that nice short drive home in Rome, I missed that big closet the size of a small bedroom, and I missed the peace I thought I had back home.

What was happening was everything was being removed that gave me a sense of safety and comfort so that I had to look and go within to find my soul. I had never even given a thought to having a soul until this time period.
