The following are pearls of wisdom I got while hiking the Cinderella trail in Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland, CA. It felt like a metaphoric take on the fairy tale—releasing old victim stories and following magical guidance to our sovereign, powerful self (minus being saved by a prince).

Lessons from the Cinderella Trail

“Peel away the layers of old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you.”

 

“Trust that you are being guided. The path always leads you to healing.

It is designed to point you back to your bright, radiant self.” 

 

“The shadows reveal the light within. Always.”
