What I Have Learned at Forty Seven: Lessons on Love, Healing, and Coming Home to the Soul

By Luz María Campuzano

The Journey Home to the Heart

Last week I turned forty seven and felt an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude for the path that brought me here, for the woman I have become, and for the peace that now lives within me. My journey has not always been easy, yet every challenge has been sacred. Healing has become the bridge back to remembrance, guiding me from separation into the truth of who I am, a divine soul in the process of her evolution. Through my journey, I have learned lessons that have reshaped how I see my life and my place in it. It is my honor to share some of these lessons with you.

Love Is the Greatest Healer of All

Love is the greatest healer of all. It begins inside us, in the quiet places where we have drifted from our own divinity. Every time we are unloving toward another, it reveals how far we have turned from ourselves. We cannot give what we have not yet embodied. We cannot fully love another until we have learned to love ourselves first. Not love born of vanity or perfection, but a love so whole it fills every part of our being. A love that lights us from within, awakening reverence for our existence and for the sacred experience of being alive.

The Body Is a Sacred Temple

The body is truly a sacred temple. For many years I criticized mine, seeing flaws through the lens of vanity and misunderstanding her purpose. I was looking at my body from a surface perspective, not realizing that the body is a universe within itself, a living and breathing cosmos where every cell carries its own journey of evolution. The body responds to how we think, how we feel, how we speak, and how we are with her. When we feed her criticism, anxiety, or disdain, her communication quiets. She feels unsafe to speak to us. That disconnection creates imbalance, illness, and chaos. The body loves us deeply. She never lies and is always seeking balance. When we learn to reconnect with her, to listen, to honor her wisdom, she begins to sing again. She heals. She transcends. The key to true transformational healing lives within the body. This is one of the greatest honors of my work, helping women reconnect to their beautiful, loving bodies, develop deep self love, and truly heal.

We Each Deserve to Be Happy

Joy lives within us as a sacred inheritance, waiting for us to return, to remember, to reclaim it fully. We are not here to be the source of another person’s happiness nor to shrink ourselves to fit their expectations. We can share our joy freely, yet when that sharing begins to dim our own light, it is a call to return to alignment with the soul. True joy cannot be borrowed, demanded, or contained. It rises naturally from within when we honor our truth, live in harmony with our being, and remember our oneness with the divine. When we allow it to move through us freely, it carries the power to awaken something sacred in everyone it touches.

Intuition Is a True Superpower

Our intuition is a true superpower. It is the knowing that needs no proof, the quiet awareness that points the way forward even when reason disagrees. Intuition is not thinking. It is an anchored knowing that lives within the mind yet speaks through the body. It is a felt sense, a gentle pull, a warmth, a whisper that moves through sensation rather than logic. When we learn to trust it and fine tune it, it leads us toward the most extraordinary experiences and opportunities. So much time is spent searching for external validation, yet intuition already knows. When we live from that inner guidance, life begins to unfold with ease, and anxiety and fear fall away.

Life Happens for You, Not to You

Life is happening for us, not to us. Every experience, no matter how difficult, is shaping who we are becoming. The hardest parts of life are sacred because they are our teachers. They strengthen the spirit and expand the heart’s capacity to love. Many give up right before the turning point, not realizing that everything they have been praying and working so hard for is waiting just beyond the edge of surrender.

I have learned to meet challenge as an invitation to rise, to meet life with presence instead of fear. So many live in a state of victimhood, searching for reasons to be offended, clinging to each word, waiting for the flaw or the trigger. Yet true growth begins the moment we turn inward and ask, What is this showing me about myself? How many times has this feeling visited me before, asking to be understood rather than avoided?

The truth is we are the common denominator in every story that repeats, each one returning to guide us back to awareness. When we allow discomfort to surface and face it with compassion, something powerful awakens. We stop giving away our energy. We begin to return home to our own strength. That is where real healing begins.

We Are Far More Powerful Than We Realize

We are far more powerful than we realize. We have the ability to heal ourselves and, in doing so, help heal others. The world teaches us to look outside ourselves for healing, for love, for wisdom, and for the answers to our lives. Over time, we lose touch with our inner authority and forget the wisdom that has always lived within us. We are divine by nature, souls evolving in one of the most extraordinary times of human existence. Each of us came here with a purpose and a unique creative expression that only we can bring into the world. Although we may forget our truth or become disconnected from it, it never leaves us. It waits patiently within, ready for us to reclaim it, to liberate ourselves, and to step into the power of our true divine nature.

Everything Is Temporary and Always Evolving

Everything happening in this moment is temporary. Life is never still. We evolve, and life evolves with us. Today I feel grounded within myself and at peace in the world around me. There was a time when the peace I feel today seemed out of reach, like something other people found but I could not touch.

What I know now is that everything begins with a single decision. The moment you choose to want more for yourself, to reclaim your power, to remember that joy and love are your birthright, everything starts to shift.

Growth begins quietly, in the smallest moments of awareness. One breath, one choice, one act of remembering who you are. Each step inward opens a doorway to peace. The journey to love always begins within. Every return to yourself is a homecoming to the soul.

The Invitation to Begin Your Healing Journey

If your soul is ready to come home, I will walk beside you. I will hold the light until you remember your own. You do not have to do it alone. Healing begins with a single decision, and that decision can be made today.

With so much love and gratitude,
