About

Over a decade ago, in some quiet moments under a shade tree behind my house, I let my hand automatically write down the words I so desperately wanted to hear. And over the years, from many fleeting moments of stillness, I began waking up.

I don't know about you, but I've always felt there was something I was missing. Something I just didn't get about me, my life, my purpose.

Every day there seemed to be a nagging feeling I should be doing something, anything different than what I was doing.

Like most people, I did what I was supposed to do: I went to school, got a job, built some sort of career(s), and had a family. I also tried very hard to be good at what I did and be serious about the commitments I made.

But my busy adult life was a far cry from the quiet moments I found myself immersed in as a child. I was left alone a lot and if I wasn't lonely, I was at least calmer than in my usual anxious nature around people.

As an adult, much like everyone around me, I found my way into doing all the things and worked very hard to keep all the balls I was juggling in the air.

As I write these words, that life seems so far away but also sits right here in my mind and my body, as if it were yesterday.

But instead of the anxiousness and chronic pain I felt back in those days, I feel a deep reverence for all the twists and turns that have brought me to this moment where I'm typing these words onto a screen on a very hot summer day.

Since you're here, you should know a bit about me, after all, this is the About page.

I'll describe some of the twists and turns I mentioned above so you have some context, but I know that what I've done isn't as important as how I'm feeling in this moment.

That feeling is what will matter to you or any work we end up doing together.

And, also about me, well, I don't know what title to share with you other than "a pilgrim who's taking a long, hard journey to join love."

My professional experience includes customer service, electrical engineering, business ownership and management, project management, business coaching, hypnosis, past life regression for emotional healing, energy healing and mindfulness coaching and training. Currently I'm getting ready to graduate with a diploma in UX Design.

But my biggest asset is my own experience, specifically the experience I gained applying my whole self, wholeheartedly, to every one of those professions.

One thing I know from all that activity is I have cultivated (or remembered) my ability to deeply listen to others as they share their deepest feelings, beyond their words.  

Listening without agenda, with a deep okayness and a knowing that what is arising for me and them is all okay, good, and valid.

This is one of the gifts I've come to share.

This gift has made anything I've ever done successful and it's a consistent thread I have been able to count on as I make my own pilgrimage to find and join love.

(On the flip side, forgetting to apply this deep listening to myself, to my own feelings, has made this pilgrim's journey hard.)

Now, I don't think I'm there yet, at the end of the journey, joined with love completely, but I'd like to share with you the clarity I've gained so far.

Not to give you any insight, necessarily, but to provide some room, some space in this day and time for you to feel your true feelings. Because when they are felt they seem to bring you, me, us closer to joining love.

That is what we are.

And if there is any insight I can give it's this:  for all I've tried to do, the secret sauce to joining love (or God or peace or however you know it) is to ask ourselves, "How am I really feeling right now?"

If you're ready to move on from this page, I get it. Thanks for visiting.

But if you are compelled to stay, then, hello and welcome! We're here in this little energetic bubble on the world wide web to carve out some space to feel.

And that's about it. No coaching. No defining. Just space to really feel.

I believe, no, I know deep down that this is the answer we're looking for to save us from ourselves, to shift our current paradigms, to set ourselves - and love - free.  

Love is the answer to all our questions.
