This seeking took many forms including: practicing Catholicism, trying to find a calling (as an actress, teacher and life coach), attending self-help and awareness seminars, study and initiation with various spiritual teachers and teachings and using drugs. After coming to the realization that no one or no thing outside of me was going to provide the answers, an intense internal search for the truth ensued. \u201cThe end of seeking\u201d occurred in 2010. There were no more questions. There was no more need for answers. What was sought had been found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9932629289MsoNormal\">I have been married for 20 years, I do voiceover work for a living, I had a cat until she died last year, I am currently in remission from breast cancer, and I work a 12-step program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv9932629289MsoNormal\">Along with some YouTube\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/DoneSeeking\">videos<\/a>\u00a0and a few\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/findingthebuddha.blogspot.com\/\">blog entries<\/a>, I have mostly shared my experience and insights through one-on-one conversations.
