When I was about 7 years old, I intuitively received information that I always held very close to my heart. Something deep inside told me that I should be in Egypt for 2012. For over a decade and into my late teens, I didn't even know what 2012 was supposed to be. I just had this future date stuck in my mind, and my ears perked up anytime anyone ever mentioned anything about it. More time passed, and at 33 years old I was feeling the depths of sadness and regret as I hadn't saved any money and didn't even remotely plan for a trip to Egypt.
As I mourned my choices and came to terms with my decisions, in the last couple of months before the ominous date of December 21, 2012 - abundance flowed through. And although I looked directly in the face of my Egyptian Destiny, I was sooo curious about what the Mayans had to say about this visionary moment in time that they seemed to be the keepers of, that my boyfriend and I opted for a trip to Guatemala. Our intention was to celebrate the 'end of time' with 7 days of fire ceremonies at 7 sacred sites in Tikal, led by authentic Mayan shamans for the week leading up to the auspices date of December 21, 2012.
Our trip was booked for December 8 - 22. Even if we had flight delays, we had plenty of time to make it home to our children for Christmas. Everything was a go. Deep inside my heart I knew...but like I (and like so many of you) have done so many times before, I silenced that whisper and allowed my ego to lead me...
