About Me



Thanks for visiting my blog! I've been on a spiritual journey since I was little. It's been a long, slow, meandering journey. One that I have kept to myself for most of my life. Seekers are unique. Not everyone questions everything like I do. Not only that, but I've always had this feeling that I had some big purpose and I've spent all of my adult life searching for that. This is why I've had so many different types of jobs across all different types of industries. I say that I know a little about a lot of things. I tend to understand concepts and big pictures very easily and don't need all the nitty gritty details. I also pick up on the subtleties of conversations because I hear people's pain and can sense energy. Some would say I'm an empath.

I never takes someone word and blindly follow whatever is being preached or taught. And I can't deal with people on power trips (too many in the corporate world for me!). This is why I caused quite the uproar with several priests along my journey. They don't like to be questioned, which I always found amusing, but what was disturbing to me was how adamant, more like demanding, they were that I was never to question my faith. This only strengthened my resolve in figuring out "who is right?"


There are so many religions out there. How can we all be right? Better yet, how can one be right and the ALL rest be wrong? I just don't believe there is a god out there who is pitting one set of people against another. So guess what? NONE OF US ARE WRONG.  I often say to my kids, when there's an argument, that everyone has a story  - perceptions - about what happens and somewhere in the middle is the truth. You can both be right. No one group is wrong. What I do believe is that there is a thread that weaves between all religions and new age concepts and that is love. Love is right. Being the best version of you is right. Being kind to others is right. Loving all people, all the time, is right.



My spiritual journey has been lonely and I'm ready to share what I've learned along the way. I also want to help others learn to live a more authentic life. I believe the only way to do that is to recognize and remove the masks that hide your true self. You can't possibly be living a life of love if you are angry, resentful, critical, judgmental, or self-loathing.


I intend to post about books I've read, or experiences I have, or fun things I do that fulfill my soul. My hope is to find others on the path and maybe even to help someone begin one. Most people begin a spiritual journey after a sudden "awakening", often after something traumatic in your life (death or illness) and that's ok! But you don't have to wait to be smacked in the head by the universe to begin the journey. In fact, being on a path will help you through those tough times so you won't have to be completely torn down in order to be enlightened.


I hope you enjoy the blog and I hope to hear from you!



Namaste!

Do you know where your stress is? Do you want to know?

I am almost at the end of my meditation teacher training. I’ve learned to teach 10 different meditations and have 2 more to go.   I’ve learned so much on this journey. In particular, not only how ignorant I was to the wide range of meditations there are, but how much I didn’t know about stress. I’m not talking about the feeling of stress. You know, when you’re overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to accomplish by the end of the day. Nor the feeling of being overworked or the pressures put upon you from your job whether that’s a deadline or other people counting on you. No, not that kind of stress. I’m talking about the kind of stress that lives deep, deep without our brains. The kind that effects our health in ways modern medicine is only beginning to understand. Every time we experience a traumatic event or intense feelings (grief, anger, fear) our "fight-flight-freeze" response (stress) gets turned on and when it does our body is flooded with adrenali...

Good riddance 2017!

“We lose connection with our realness when others have standards on how we should be.”  Tara Brach I’d like to say a big F-you, sayonora, and good riddance to 2017 but my therapist says that’s not nice. She says that without all the tough lessons I had this year, I would not have grown. And...she’s right (but don’t tell her that...) Every day I choose an Angel Card (see link) to give me a word, something to contemplate and guide me as the day goes on. Each year on New Year’s Day, I chose a theme word for the year and then I review it on the last day of the year. Last January I got "Education". To be honest, when I picked it, I was a little disappointed. I guess I thought the word was boring. I’m sure my angels were laughing at me then. They knew what they were doing, as always, because I definitely got an education this year! I got my PhD in me and let me tell you, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. 2017 was a year of transitions at home and work. It was ...

Let’s talk self-love, shall we?

"Before we can thread together a life that rises in the presence of sorrow we must include loving ourselves through acts of self-care." Maria Sirois. I’ve said before that masks cover the real you, and that masks are a way to protect yourself from facing your feelings - which is never a good thing. While masks can be protective, they can also prohibit your spiritual growth. And yes,  it is imperative that you grow spiritually. The problem is that when we wear masks for years we lose sight of who we really are. The first step into living a more authentic life is becoming aware of the masks you wear and when you wear them. Being aware is a very big step. The second step is learning how to love yourself. Most people don’t even know what that means, never mind how to do it. What you also may not know, is that self-love is the most important love there is. That’s because you can’t be love- ing  if you don’t love yourself. ****A word to the men reading this blog: S...
