About Me - My Journey
Therefore, in the end, the most powerful ‘action’ that all of my teachers did for me was to hold my hand and remind me to be gentle with myself while I did my own ‘inside’ work. They loved me enough not to do it for me, knowing it would not work anyway. Ultimately, I did not need "fixing;" I needed to remember who I was.​ This literal integration led me inward to discover who I was…and I found out that I liked her. It was a true awakening to a beautiful life. This opportunity is here for us all; all we have to do is say “Yes!”​
As I continue this mission, I intend to assist others on this path of self-acceptance as they journey inward. It is beautiful to witness someone uncover their light and to watch them shine!

Questions and curioties - Who Am I? Why Am I Here?
​
After years of silent, internal anxieties and depression, I craved peace! I became sick and tired of my thoughts creating havoc. I dropped to my knees one day, crying, asking The Divine to help me! ​As miracles go, pretty amazing people ‘fell’ into my life. They were lovingly confident, peaceful, and inspiring. They glowed with an authentic connection to The Divine. I wanted what they had! Therefore, I did the obvious - “Fix me!" I begged them! The consistent response was -“Go within; all the answers you seek are already there.” ​Well, that was the last thing I wanted to hear! Going inside did not feel powerful - I felt defeated. They reminded me I was here for a reason - they stood in their LIGHT - which they kept saying over and over was mine too! Could this be so?
I became a seeker, seeking the truth about myself and life. I read many, many books, attended classes, and journaled constantly. ​Eventually, I would notice little changes in my thought patterns and reactions...something was happening to me! I now believe that all the books, classes, and informal and formal sessions I had with my mentors finally broke down my human ego enough to where I finally embraced that I was good enough. As time passed, I discovered what they were talking about - silence is where we find God.
