When others learn what I do one of the first questions they ask is, "how did you end up doing what you are doing?"  The first part of this answer entails my own space of spirituality.  As a child and teenager I had already recognized my own spirituality.  I was already seeing beyond the usual religious discussions.  I was bored in traditional church.  In college, while taking traditional psychology classes I realized that a key ingredient for me was missing in the basic philosophy of the field, a place for our spirit.  I needed more.  I "knew" there was more than what was being presented at the surface.  I dropped my psychology major, minored instead and stuck with my business interests. Over the years I found myself enjoying various jobs in retail, customer service, and tourism.  I loved working with people and helping in what ever way I could.  However, I still knew I was supposed to help others on a much deeper level - on a soul level.  I would even ask myself, "hmmm, I wonder when I will do my healing work?"  During this time I was never directed to seek out anything in particular.  I enjoyed discussions on the spiritual level.  At times I was guided to use my hands to offer spiritual energy healing with some that have crossed my path.

At around age 21 I became a member of the Edgar Cayce foundation, the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.).  Edgar Cayce is considered one of the most gifted, and well documeted psychics of the 20th Century.  He gave over 14,000 readings on various topics, including Health Related Information, Philosophy and Reincarnation, Dreams and Dream Interpretation, ESP and Psychic Phenomena, and Spiritual Growth, Meditation, and Prayer.  The information in the readings and the intention of the association spoke to me.  In addition, the books I gravitated towards were those that talked about the story of our lives and our soul in some manner.  This is where my interest has always truly been.  I took from each what resonated with my inner being and tossed the rest.  I found much validation for what my inner knowing was already telling me was true.  The questions, "what is our soul really here to do?  What is the meaning behind our experiences?  How can we rise up from our circumstances?  How can we truly heal?  What kind of journey has our soul been on and where is it going?" /These are the questions I asked within myself.

It is because of my Inner Faith, Hope, and Guidance, along with my deep inner questions, that I find myself where and who I am today.  It is all of these that are my rudder, moving me along the river of life. These are the things that got me through the tough times and experiences in my own life.   Together they have served me well.   

In 2008 I entered into a place  in my life that I refer to as my "transition period."  It is here that I was "extracted" out of the usual activities of my life.  I found myself on a "hellish" rollercoaster ride that lasted for two years.  It was here that I was forced to stop and slow down.  Whenever I attempted to move outward into the world I would get slapped back down. It was during these challenging times that I went further into myself, into my inner being and began to slowly learn something different.  A new way of life was being created.  I just had to get out of the way and let it happen.  So with each step, I did just that. With this back and forth motion it became clear that I was meant to be doing something else, but what?  I had no clue.  No new direction presented itself as was usually the case in the past.  All I could do was wait and trust that all that was happening was for the greater good and that I was no longer in control.  So if I wasn't in control who was? Divine Presence.

Believe me, I was stretched to my limit.  During this 2-year period I felt I was being discombobulated and then re-combobulated for a new chapter in my life.  My life was being completely reorganized.  But the learning didn't stop there.  Embarking upon the new journey that did finally present itself, I moved forward.  I also began, on the conscious level, a glorious healing journey of my soul.  The transition period prepared me for what was to come.  The healing journey cleared many things my soul had been carrying within itself.  And with that I became more open than I had ever been to be of service to others and to the Divine Presence.  There is no destination to my journey.  The journey carries my soul through each experience with more awareness and understanding, all from the soul level.  It is here that we can all begin to experience the transformation of our soul, and finally move into the space of the I AM. 

It is from this place of higher consciousness that I say that that each of us is on a spectacular journey, a journey that our soul has chosen to be a part of, to learn from, to experience the many things that an Earthly life can provide.  We are all living this soul journey but most of us are unconscious to what it truly is happening.  By opening up our channels we are able to connect and receive the deeper information from our subconscius, higher self and soul.  With this access we can each, more quickly, reach a higher state of personal awareness and understanding into our life.  Here we have the opportunity to release the interferences and blockages that prevent us from living a fuller life today.  With this shift in consciousness, the ability to manifest a different story and a newness in life becomes possible.  This is where new life begins and this is what happened to me.
