Many years ago, two of my good friends started calling me Lindiwe. It was by a series of events that this African name came to find me (after a mix-up with my coffee order where I was called by this name). They told me it meant ‘been waiting for you’ – and I joked that I must be the female Jesus.
When I finally stepped onto the path of flow that the Goddess had instructed me, this name kept popping up in my mind. Of course it made sense, as I had begun exploring and consciously embodying and activating the Feminine Christ Consciousness (that we all have within us).
I knew in my heart that this was my name when working in this space, but felt unsure about being so bold as to actually start using it. Shortly after I was at God’s Window, where there are hundreds of locks placed by people (as is the trend in the world atm). I looked down, and this lock (pictured) was right in front of me. I knew then that it was a sign from above, confirming that this name was seeking me after all. And confirmed at the window of God of all places – you cannot ignore that bold message. 😉
So here I am, an African woman, calling myself by the African name that found me…Lindiwe.
