Sacred Friends,

I have some miraculous news to share with you! I have been healed from diabetes! All praise be to Creator! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 10 years ago and have been taking Metformin pills. Through the years, I made attempts to control my eating habits and exercise regime and my blood sugar levels never got worse, but never got better either.

Within the last 5 years, I have gone through an intense spiritual journey that began just before an overnight healing from decades of alcohol abuse and addiction. I woke up one morning with the bondage of addiction completely lifted!

From that day to this, I have been doing the healing work within my soul that inspires the articles that I write for this site. I have been led from within to research and learn about the wisdom of my Ancestors. Thru this work, I have gained the insight and the courage to challenge fear, anger, and powerlessness.

So, last week I go in for routine blood work in order to refill my meds. After viewing my lab results, my doctor walks in astounded because my blood sugar levels are "off-the-charts-excellent"! Friends, although I was still making attempts at a better diet and physical activity, the main thing that I was focused on was healing my mind and emotions.

I wrote this article in January, and I realize now that I must be finally 'walking my talk' from within myself and that is how I have overcome this horrible disease that plagues entire communities of Native souls. Diabetes is fueled by a deep sorrow and feelings of powerlessness. I must have regained my joy and my power, leading me to enjoy my connection to Creator.

We can only give what we have. May the Great Spirit use me to bring healing to others who suffer from diabetes. Friends, please keep me in your best thoughts and prayers as I take a sabbatical from Bellaonline.com to see where my work can progress from here. I plan to be back writing articles for you in early June, and hopefully have my first e-book, titled "10 Sacred Paths", ready for you to enjoy. Your support and love has been a blessing to me in more ways than I can say in words.

In the meantime, I hope to hear from you.
