The ME Story  //  F**k the Fairytale .. time to go to the Happily Ever Now! (lessons of 'love & light', 'lock & load' and other superpowers)

ME is an Internationally Published Author, Australia’s #1 Soul Coach, Award Winning Psychic, Crystal Bed Creator, and currently seen on Channel 7′s THE ONE ..

.. So how did I become ME, before I was just me, trying to understand who me was? Get ME?

Well, let’s start by saying ‘I WAS ONCE THE PRINCESS WHO HAD THE FAIRYTALE. I THOUGHT I HAD EVERYTHING A WOMAN WOULD EVER WANT. AND I LEARNT THAT THINKING YOU HAVE EVERYTHING, CAN SOMETIMES SHOW YOU HOW MUCH YOU ACTUALLY HAVE NOTHING.’

ME was born into a poor, struggling Greek family in the early 1970′s.  I was lucky, I came into the world with a twin, so I suppose it wasn’t as scary as birthing solo. My parents were hard working people and our family (six kids, mum & dad) lived in a broken down house on Racecourse Road, Hamilton, Brisbane, with my Dad’s immigrant parents who came direct from Ithaca-Greece, and couldn’t speak English.  It was a crazy, loud, sometimes mad house of half English, half Greek over-passionate people who argued as much as we loved.  Many people today see my family dynamic (or come to Big Fat Greek Sunday Night Dinner) and think ‘WTF?!’ because we are a tad crazy and explosively passionate, but the thing is, deep down we do really love each other and want the best for each other .. even though verbal praise hasn’t been a thing my parents hand out often.  Maybe, just maybe, because they’re parents didn’t offer it either?

Looking back, I will say that I did have a strong connection to my natural SuperPowers, because ME & my sisters would talk to imaginery people (Goddesses, Spirits) and walk around the backyard with them.  I was obsessed with Wonder Woman to the point I would pretend I was flying my invisble jet over the rusty rooftops, and wear my aluminium foil wrist bracelets to fight off the baddies.  Wonder Woman was not a SuperHero back then, she was my best friend. This is possibly why I call myself *THE ONE-DER WOMAN* now, go figure!

I must say there were times during my childhood where I would have psychic flashes and I definitely had premonitions.  The greatest premonition I can remember was going to school and standing in front of the newsagent. I looked at that day’s newspaper headlines and saw the newspaper change.  I saw the Challenger Disaster happen and the spaceship blow up.  It was the day before the Mission and I was confused by what I saw. I remember the next day watching the news and thinking ‘Oh my God, I knew that would happen’, but as I was a teenager, it wasn’t like anyone was going to take notice. So that’s when I got interested in boys instead, and began (I suppose) to look for my Prince Charming.

I was 16 when I met Charming. At 17 he asked me to marry him. At 18 we were married. At 19 I had my first baby. And I had 2 more in the following few years. For the first ten years, it really was bliss, he was the love of my life. We worked hard, raised babies, adored each other, loved life and by the time I was 30, WE HAD EVERYTHING (which wasn’t bad for two kids from humble beginnings)!

We had the .. Million Dollar+ home (designed and built by us). Luxury cars. Kids in private schools. Lots of Money. First Class holidays. Beach-front apartment in the Whitsundays.  Nanny. Personal Trainers. Expensive Labels. Loius Vuitton bags. And a whole heap of over-priced stuff that made us feel good when we bought it and possibly more important than other people our age. Yes, you could say ‘ME had the Fairytale!’.

But here’s the thing .. what happens when you have everything .. and you feel like you have nothing?

What do you do when Charming stops coming home after work each night and prefers to stay out drinking and partying to relieve the stress of working harder to keep up appearances of the life we’ve now become addicted to? And what do you do when the mansion you work so hard for is so big, it just amplifies how empty you really are, and you end up feeling like you are about to have a nervous breakdown each day you wake up alone?

And it was the year I turned 30 (nearly a decade ago) that I realised that Fairytales, may not always have a Happy Ending. It was the year I begun being woken up to my SuperPowers again and the spirit visitations started on a daily basis. It was the year I started thinking I couldn’t be a ’Mrs Blah Blah Blah’ anymore.

It was the Year of Hell. It was the Year of Heaven. It was the Year of Truth.

On New Year’s Night at 12.05 am as the fireworks were popping to welcome in the New Year, I found a text message on Charming’s phone that said ‘I LOVE YOU MORE’.  It wasn’t from me, it was from his Mistress.  Over the coming years I found out he was not just playing around, he actually was leading a double life, and he betrayed me on so many levels. I did not believe someone who you could love and say ‘I do’ to, could at the same time crush you so much.

After I found out the truth, he left to be with his Mistress (she was like The Evil-Witch in Fairytales) and I was left to raise three kids on my own.  Actually, he didn’t want much to do with the kids anymore, because as he told me, ‘I’m trying to start a new relationship!’ and obviously his wife and kids had no part in their romance (or whatever you want to call it!).

So to put it bluntly, my life turned to hell, but at the same time, it turned to heaven as well.

What happened was I immediately became deeply connected to my Soul’s Calling whilst I was in the pain of it all. I had been studying spirituality in my 20′s when the ‘expensive stuff and luxury crap’ wasn’t doing it for me, because I knew there must be another way to feel connected and whole.  It was now that same ’spirituality’ was rescuing me as I was going through a nervous breakdown and suffering depression.  I immersed myself in spiritual text, courses and development, over many months just to keep my head above water and cope not having the Fairytale anymore.

Even with all the spiritual work I was doing, there was one thing that never left me. It was the thought I did not want to be here anymore, I wanted to die! I was brave for the outside world, yet in my mind I wanted to kill myself every single day. I’d look at my kids and think, how could I be thinking this, how could I be this selfish? But it didn’t matter, the thoughts overwhelmed me constantly.

It was a dark moon night when they totally flooded me and I could no longer resist the urge to fight them anymore. I jumped in my car consciously knowing ‘tonight’s the night I die’ and I was screaming, crying, terrified and excited all at once. I did not want to hold onto this pain anymore. I did not want to be in this space of suffering, I wanted it to end, and I wanted to die! I drove my car to the Story Bridge and parked under it. I looked up at the beautiful structure planning the best place to jump off so I would be well and truly dead and not end up in a botched attempt and be a burden to anyone. In the sanity of planning my death, I was extremely insane as well, screaming and yelling like a wild animal in a cage.  The pain intensified and I thought, that’s it, I can no longer take this pain, it’s time to jump.

It was at that exact time of hell when THE MIRACLE happened to ME! Without asking for it, or willing it, the pain lifted from my emotions and body, and I was left in a space of peace, bliss, love and eternal consciousness. Everything became One and the suffering had ended.  I heard in my mind; ‘I Am The Miracle. You are The Miracle. We are The Miracle of One.’ and I saw my life’s purpose, which was simply ’to be of service’. Maybe I was surrounded by Angels, maybe I was connecting to the Inifinite Intelligence of All There Is, I don’t know, it was unexplainable. I immediatley saw everyone and everything being The Miracle, it was completely Divine, there are not enough words to explain it.

At that moment, I knew I had been saved.  I knew I had to tell people about Miracles and also that they were The Miracle. I knew The Crystal Bed that I had been seeing in my head and dreams for the last few months had to now be made. I knew I needed to live, I had ’to be of service’ .. and so began the real ‘birth of ME’.

Now several years on, my life has emerged into a balance of ‘Universal Laws’ and ‘Earth Laws’ where I am commited to my life’s purpose, however deliver it with the strength and fortitude it deserves. The ME Mission isn’t just to make spiritual people more spiritual, but to reach out to the everyday person who desperately wants to understand ‘why can’t I just be happy?’, ‘why do bad things happen to good people sometimes?’, ‘why does life has to be so f’ing hard?’, ‘why, why, why?’ to so many things. Helping them find the answers is what makes me feel alive and I know that it’s the thing I’m meant to be doing .. and I see it as Miracle Work!

So in reading my story (thank you for doing so), I’d like to add some things about ME that I AM NOT .. which is really important to know, just in case you think I’m this Angel Lady who is all ‘good & nice’!

I am NOT your ‘super-serious-psychic-spiritual’ type of person who spends all day meditating on being enlightened, and I am NOT the ‘over-hyper-motivated-rah-rah-life-coach’ who puts on a fake-smile all day, pretending everything is soooo amazing. I do not read coffee cups, tea leaves, crystal balls, tarot cards, nor do I wear purple velvet or a turban on my head.  This isn’t to say people who do this are weird, crazy or more spiritual and psychic than myself, it’s just not my thing. Also (just in case you are wondering) I will not expect you to run over hot coals and scream out ‘woo, woo, wooooo’ in an over-crowded seminar to prove you are fearless to others who are proving to do the same.

Here’s what I believe .. ME MAKES MIRACLES HAPPEN .. sounds bold, but hey, I AM THE SPIRITUAL DOMINATRIX, so I’m meant to be ballsy, bold & in-your-face!!! Over the years I have evolved and so have my clientele, but the thing that doesn’t change, is many of my clients find me when their life is falling apart and usually start the session with, ‘My Life’s F*cked!’ (YES, they do!!!) and this is usually code for ‘Maria Elita sort my SH*T out!!!’. And as I’ve lived ‘hell and heaven’ and am ‘love & light + lock & load’ this is exactly how I help them! I DARE THEM to be all they CAN be, as I ‘Soul Whip’ their fears into out-of-space, so they can be who they SHOULD be .. when they live their life in Truth and Soulfully!
