My story is not who I am,
who I am is simply my souls’s divine expression…
Though, as with all of us, I do have many stories…points of reference to reflect on my personal journey to where I am now. Stories of challenges reframed as blessings. Stories of choices, behaviors and indiscretions, trips down a shadowed path, re-viewed with compassion and forgiveness.
Background
Dealing with severe health challenges in childhood, mainly affecting the lungs, I had always been conscious of my own healing journey. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but I learned to drop into deep meditative states and eventually, instead of struggling for breath, to become quiet and peaceful, which in turn led to less need for oxygen. Not being able to join in with many games and sports, also gave me the opportunity to sit on the sidelines and observe, which is something that I attribute now to my ability to take in the bigger picture and ask profound questions.
An intense sense of care for our world, its creatures, and people, kept me up and awake in my youth, even on the nights when I was well, and it was natural that as I grew up, (after many slips and misguided decisions!) I began to explore concepts which I felt needed to address a dual purpose: to provide a way to care for myself deeply, while also having a positive impact in a greater sense, to care for others, and our world, which is where the concept to ‘nourish ourselves while we nurture our world’ arose from.
Charlie & I
Later into my adult life, after so many pieces of the puzzle had already been laid, a turn along an unforeseen path led to the reconnecting of two souls…
Charlie and I came together in a collision of our worlds, bringing forth a divine care for one another, guiding our paths and our growth, buffering each other’s mirrors so that ultimately we may recognize ourSelves more clearly.
While we walk our path together and bring forward much through our steps in action, we have deep understanding and respect for our individual soul’s journey.
Mission
Although much has been brought forth in the ‘doing’ and duty of this lifetime, I have now reached a place where my only calling is to seek the embrace of the Divine, and to walk steadily, in reverence, along this path. (Read my Testimony).
I do not seek approval, nor validation, and I do not look to convert or purport my feelings and sense to others. However, I continue to address my duties and service through every step, and to undertake that which is in alignment with my truth.
‘I walk my path with deep internal consideration and awareness coupled with external questioning, allowing me to tread ever more softly and carefully with each step, both in how I choose to connect and care deeply for myself, and others, while nurturing our world.’
