I was born in Costa Rica, and currently living in the UK, in these 40+ years of my life I’ve faced what many would consider challenging circumstances, other referred to my life as a struggle to survive and other tag me with different diagnosis that never lead anywhere where I felt someone was actually listening or even cared enough to give me a hand in those moments, that only one can know, how despair, soul ache and hopelessness would feel life, and yes, my life had no meaning.

Although I’ve been what people called talented, smart, with communications skills, and blah blah blah, I felt like a complete waist of space and I couldn’t make any sense as why would I feel this way when I had no “reason” to do so in the present moment. Little I knew sometimes is not about the now, but about our past and how it has carved into out soul. To every action there’s an equal or opposite reaction, now it makes perfect sense.

My journey was really up the hill to say it in a poetic (less dramatic way), until I found BY MYSELF, the solution for my lack of willingness to life. I found my life purpose. How did it happened? Looooooonnnnggg story short, I had to take on responsibility of myself and accept once and for all, there was no prince charming on a rainbow unicorn that would come to my rescue and make everything pink and glittery, because that prince/princess charming was me all along.

My life purpose it to help people who are looking for that hand to hold when they needed the most, to be there when no one is, to give you the hope you need to reach your goals, even if they need to change, even if the world around you doesn’t approve, this is about you, this is about YOU!

Hugs, Mariana
