About Me
An open mind is my best friend.
My inspiration is somewhat eclectic, coming from a variety of sources and experiences. At age 30 I had a "breakthrough" experience through the practice of meditation which was to forever change my viewpoint of reality. The journey had only just begun and I found myself unable to live my life in the "sleep" which was my ordinary existence. My marriage, business, and lifestyle flew out the window in order to accomodate my "expansion". At that point, my Native American roots and the simplicity of nature held me together and over time reintegrated me as a human.
Years later, through an extremely traumatic experience I had yet another breakthrough whereby I was able to experience and sustain an experience of "oneness" which guides my daily life in the present. This experience once again catapulted me into the unknown and continues to challenge my ideas about "reality" in day to day life.
My goal is to integrate my experiences of the Divine into every area of my life in such a way as to reclaim my authentic self, and to be of service from that level of awareness rather than the stance of the egoic consciousness. I am an explorer, a work in progress, a dedicated soul chopping wood and carrying water. I find inspiration from ALL teachings dedicated to this path of oneness, however I subscribe to no path over any other.
