and connect to a deeper stamina from our soul - from that real source of who we are.
You deserve an abundance of health, wealth, love, peace, and joy.
You can find your true purpose and the gifts you have to share with the world.
You can feel connected with the rhythms of nature and your own spiritual essence.
You have the ability to create miraculous change in your life with ease and grace.
I'm Anne and I help soulful people feel so full.
Full of love. Full of joy. Full of connection.
I know that you are capable of self-acceptance, love, and soulful connection. I know it because I was able to make miraculous change in my own life. I've grown through pain, struggled with loss, and found a way to bring light to what felt heavy - and release it.
On my own journey, I learned that I know how to break down patterns and create steps to move forward. I learned how to be grounded and delight my spirit at the same time. I learned how to ease into growth and change while staying true to my own nature.
And I use that hard-won knowledge to help others who are on their own healing, seeking paths.
How would it feel if you were more confident in your purpose?
How would it feel if you could create more peace around your finances, career, or relationships?
How would you change if you could embrace forgiveness, let go of overwhelm, and let yourself be enough?
You have the ability to create that change.
I can help you uncover it.
It was a perfect sunny day, not too hot, and the smell of freshly cut grass floated in the air. A true Midwestern experience signaling that winter is over; nothing hits the senses quite like that tantalizing grassy aroma to confirm the arrival of a season change. The grey skies of the long winter are finally over for the next few months.
The two-year girl wanted nothing more than to get outdoors to brighten her spirits after being cooped up inside all day. She wasn't feeling well, and her parents were keeping her inside as a precaution while vast acres of lawn were being mowed on their property.
Insistent, as toddlers can be, the little girl begged and pleaded with her parents all day to be allowed outside. At last, her parents yielded. They took their young daughter outside with her three brothers and sat beside one in the sandbox, while rest of the children were a few feet away on the swing-set. They were watching them play happily, but in the blink of an eye, such an innocent snapshot of family life turned horribly wrong.
A crash, a thud, blood and screams - in the fragility of a moment, a life was changed forever.
The little girl had been run over by a riding mower just as the teenage boy driving it was finishing the final few feet of grass. Inches in either direction of the chewing blades and her life would have been over. She survived, but after an initial hospitalization of a month, she was sent home with a horribly mangled leg that she couldn't even walk on.
Moments enter all of our lives when sudden, unchangeable, unfixable events present themselves, and we are left with deep-rooted acceptance of what has happened.
At the age of two, the course of this young girl's life was forever altered; a piece of innocence was ripped away; and the reality of life's harshness — and occasional downright violence — displayed itself.
I was that two-year-old girl. Yes — me, Anne Ribley. I tell this story because I believe the catastrophe I survived represents a similar catharsis in every person's life. I have not only lived through it; I continue to receive the gifts of who I have become because of it. I want others to know the same possibilities exist for them.
I do believe, at some point in everyone's life, the great lawn-mower of life happens. It can happen in a snap or in the slow, churning way that makes it hard to pinpoint when it could have taken another direction. Life's trajectory can change, placing us somewhere we don't want to be, as it reveals its true power.
When someone we love is taken, when an unspeakable act occurs, when hearts get broken or the loss of self-steals our hopes and dreams, we have to make the decision to change our lives. Whatever way the unthinkable, the unchangeable, or the stifling of life happens, the truth is – it has, it will, and it does. It's all part of the journey.
My physical abilities continue to defy convention. I not only walk easily, I live with high functionality. Considering the way my leg looks on an X-ray, Orthopedic Surgeons have no explanation for my capabilities, let alone the fact I don't live under the cloud of heavy duty narcotic painkillers! I live completely drug-free. Today, instead of being defined by my childhood accident, I am a refined woman because of it.
I share my journey with you because it is our journey - the journey we are all on, in our own individual ways. This is the path that belongs to each of us in the imperfectly perfect way. No matter who or where we are, to honor life is to pick up the pieces of 'what is' today, whether they are messy, illogical or stagnant, and make something extraordinary out of this incredible gift of life.
I extend to you my own sources of reflection. Please take your time and meander through my Inspiration Trails to find what inspires you to activate truth and authenticate love on your journey.
May you make your life a moving, dreaming statement of what inspires you and feels truthful. A truthful life is probably the most liberating gift we can give ourselves.
May your life's moments begin to capture your heart's deeply held dreams and begin to make sense of truth for you!
A truthful life is about your dreams and may they become your compass to guide you on your destiny!
