Joylin is a friend of ours here at the Galactic Free Press, we've featured her writings before. It's wonderful seeing her message and story featured in a major newspaper!
It started when she got sick her freshman year studying music at Baker University in Kansas. She awoke every morning throwing up and miserable. She had to force-feed herself, then fight to keep it down. It seemed to be a bunch of isolated food allergies. But how could she have become allergic to so many things at once? Doctors couldn't diagnose the problem. After two years, when she began throwing up blood, Joylin gave up on science and tried treating herself with whole foods and intensive meditation.
Her search for health became a spiritual search for happiness.
"All the things that were wrong with me physically were messages from my soul telling me what I really needed to do," she said. "I asked myself what was I actually allergic to on a deeper level. It was resentments, things I needed to forgive, stuff I needed to let go of, and things I needed to embrace more of in my life."
Her health got better, and a free-spirited gypsy was born.
