Today is June 23rd. While going back through the archive to show the pattern across these days, I came across a message Wilhelm gave a year ago on June 25, 2025: “You will realize your purpose today.” I didn’t fully understand it when it first arrived. I’m not sure I fully understand it now. But I know enough to say this much plainly, two days ahead of that date.
My purpose, as best I can describe it, has been to spend 37 years writing down guidance I received daily, testing it against my own life, and slowly building it into something usable for other people. That sounded unlikely to me for most of those years. It still sounds unlikely some days. I doubted it the way you might doubt something true about yourself that you’ve never seen anyone else go through.
What I’ve Actually Lived
I’ve moved through real, documented health difficulties over the years — including illness that doctors didn’t expect to resolve the way it has. I’m not going to make claims here that go beyond what I actually know: my own medical history, observed by my own doctors, some of it without a full explanation. I believe the work I’ve done with Wilhelm is connected to it. I can’t prove that scientifically, and I’m not asking you to take my word for it as proof of anything beyond my own life.
What I can say honestly is this: for years, I held all of it back, partly because I was told — by people who cared about me — that it might be too much for others to hear. I understand why they said that. But holding it back has had its own cost. It kept me from being fully honest about my own life, and that dishonesty, even when well-intentioned, didn’t serve me.
Why I’m Saying This Now
I recently watched an interview with the singer Monét Long, who spoke about pushing through illness for years rather than caring for herself, because she didn’t feel she could stop. I recognized that pattern immediately. I’ve done the same thing — prioritizing everyone else, not owning what was actually happening in my own life, for a very long time.
We each come into the world with something like a blueprint, and then life shapes it — what we’re taught, what we inherit, what we’re told to stay quiet about. At some point, each of us has to decide whether we’re going to own who we’ve actually become, even if it took a long time to get there, even if we’re doing it later than we wished we had.
I’m 75. I’m doing this today. That’s later than I would have chosen, if I’d had a choice in the matter — but I don’t think the timing was ever really mine to dictate.
What This Isn’t
I want to be careful here, because I think it matters: I’m not claiming to have done something no human being has ever done. I’m not asking you to treat my story as proof of a phenomenon. I’m telling you what’s true about my own life, as honestly as I know how, because I believe withholding it has done me more harm than sharing it ever could.
If anything in my story is useful to you, I hope it’s this: you don’t have to fully understand what you’re moving through while you’re moving through it. You’re allowed to take a long time to accept something true about yourself. And you’re allowed to stop hiding it once you’re ready, on your own timeline, not anyone else’s.
Thank you for being here. Whatever you’re carrying that you haven’t said out loud yet — there’s no perfect moment for that either. There’s just the moment you decide.
