My Journey to the Heart of Oneness by Maria Angela

I saw the sign, And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign. No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong. But where do you belong?

When I first discovered this Expo, I was at the

beginning of my spiritual journey. I attended as a curious beginner exploring holistic wellness, walking through the event as a buyer eager to learn. Years later, after opening my own holistic wellness business, I returned—not as a visitor, but as one of the 200 vendors. That full-circle moment felt incredibly meaningful.

Friday

Our Sacred Space team arrived early to set up before the event kicked off at 5 PM. As soon as the doors opened, we were greeted by a wave of visitors. Some were eager to understand what spirituality and holistic wellness were all about, while others came with a clear intention—to find clarity, healing, or direction. There were also those simply curious, browsing crystals, tarot cards, teas, and other offerings. Many came seeking something specific, whether it was Reiki healing, spiritual guidance, or tools to support their personal journey .

Saturday-Sunday

What truly stood out to me that weekend was connecting with like-minded people. I met Heather—someone whose path mirrored my own. She came from the corporate world, worked tirelessly, and during the pandemic discovered her true purpose. Throughout the weekend, it felt as though my spirit guides were speaking to me through her. She shared insights that resonated deeply—things I already felt through signs, intuition, dreams, and experiences, but needed to hear out loud for confirmation.

Heather spoke about living authentically and trusting your inner voice. As she beautifully expressed in her book My New Normal: “Live through your core—your truth, your non-negotiable essence. It’s a conscious choice to stop waiting for others’ validation or permission to be yourself. That permission only comes from within. Once you grant it, everything begins to align.” Her words affirmed what I’ve been learning all along—to trust myself and honor my path.

Through Heather, I also met other incredible individuals who share the same passion for spreading positive energy. One of those connections was a man who runs a spiritual retreat on a 20-acre farm. I was invited to visit and attend his events, which felt like a powerful manifestation. I’ve always envisioned creating a sacred space—a healing center on a farm where I can grow my own food, host retreats, cook farm-to-table meals, and offer a place for people to recharge and reconnect. Meeting him felt like a step closer to that dream.

I also had the chance to connect with many curious visitors who wanted to learn more about spirituality and wellness. They asked thoughtful questions about crystals, tarot, and oracle cards, wanting to understand their deeper meaning. These moments reaffirmed Sacred Space’s mission: to create a welcoming community that nurtures holistic well-being, spiritual growth, and self-discovery. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others take steps toward becoming their best selves.

As I share this blog today, I’m reminded that it is Good Friday in the Catholic faith—a day that commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is observed during Holy Week, just before Easter Sunday, and symbolizes sacrifice, redemption, and hope. Spiritually, it’s a time for reflection on love, suffering, and the promise of new beginnings.

In Love and In Light,

Angela
