More About Me

Having been a traveler all my life and never being able to travel as long as I wanted, I decided to take a 6-month round-the-world trip.Then come back to give ‘normal’ another try. Yet what I discovered was that I didn’t want to return to ‘normal’. And once I accepted that ‘normal’ never fit for me, I gave myself permission to explore what else was out there. It has now been more than 30 years that I have been living, traveling, and working around the world. I am now living in country #38, and loving my own version of ‘normal’.

I was now comfortable in my own skin, and passionate about supporting others in finding their way back to themselves, defining what ‘normal’ means and how it fits for them. I am a Crystal Guide, a Certified Life Coach, and a Certified Sistership Circle Leader.

And then 2019 happened.

I lost my health, my wealth, my beloved, and most distressing of all – my faith and trust in myself and God’ess. I felt that all I had left was the skin I was standing in. What was most shocking was that I had thought of myself as a strong, self-aware, and spiritually grounded person, and just couldn’t understand how I had ended up here. As I am the creator of my reality, then how could I trust myself to make the best choices given what my reality had become? As God’ess’ greatest joy is to provide what is always in your very best interest, then how I could trust either God or Goddess to make the best choices for me when what I was experiencing was suffering and lack?

Some people go into Flight, and some go into Fight when faced with Fear. I go into Freeze. For about a year I simply floated, cocooned in Freeze - too afraid, overwhelmed, and emotionally exhausted to even get up again, to try again. I kept trying to find the answer to WHY did this happen? It has been quite a journey as I made my way back to standing up again, let alone going forward and creating something new.

Along that journey I have gone deep and dirty. I have faced my fears, doubts, resistance, and blockages. Until I reached the bottom, and found my Karmic Imprint – a debilitating fear of speaking out. Given how many times I have been destroyed, abandoned, and ostracized in my past lives for speaking out, even considering stepping up and stepping out felt overwhelming and somedays, even impossible. I kept trying to push myself past this fear, and yet at the end of the day, had accomplished very little.

The beginning of the healing was to simply accept myself where I was. I wasn’t where I wanted to be, yet this was where I was. Accepting and loving myself right there was the beginning of the return journey back to a full expression of myself.

The next big step was declaring loud and clear, to myself and to Universe, I want MORE. For me, more means F R E E D O M. Freedom to make choices, changes, and being in the flow of abundance – to and through me. The delightfully fun part has been defining what this new Expression of Self looks and feels like, and then creating the steps to start living it. Most wondrous of all is that I as open myself to this very new expression of myself, my vision of what that will be keeps expanding into something even more extraordinary. Talk about trusting the journey as I truly don’t know exactly where I am going, yet I am loving the journey. As you know – it is not about the destination, but the journey along the way to getting there.

I share all this for those of you who may have found yourself in similar situations or emotions. I may not have experienced the exact same situation, but perhaps we have faced the same fears.

My mission is to inspire others to step out of ‘normal’ if they find it doesn’t fit for you either. Find the courage to take a chance, change direction, and choose something completely different. Trying to do all that on your own can seem overwhelming – especially when you don’t have the tools or a support team. Being different is not an easy road. And the spiritual journey to well-being and living a life on purpose is not for sissies.
