I have had a long love affair with the journey of LIFE itself.   What it has come down to at this time of a “wild and precious life” is the nurturing and growing of love and embracing my unique creative expression and presence  As for most of you, it has taken a long and winding road to embody….. oh what a journey!

Born just a hop over a beach wall to the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Mission Beach, San Diego,  California I have always been completely in love with the buoyancy of salt water whether jumping the waves, body surfing with sea lions, swimming with wild dolphins in Hawaii, or boogie boarding on the crest of a wave yelling with pure joy all the way to shore.

Times like these spent in nature have taught me to live life full on in alignment with heart, soul, passion, and definitely a sense of humor!  This means that I desire to be in the world totally without inhibition, without fear, and without anxiety which translates into Being fully present and available to the Source of all life.  Often easier said than lived!

This moment to moment relationship with life has not come easily in the past, but now my mantra has become “if not now, when?”  I am constantly aware of the interwoven and interrelated connection that all life shares on this planet – in the cosmos.  The work that I do with others, and in every relationship, originates from this deeply spiritual, grounded and unfolding space encompassing a global outreach.

As with everyone else on this planet I share the history of grief, struggle, heartache, trauma, sadness, death, and confusion.  These experiences have given my life texture and awareness that could not, I believe,  have come to light in any other way.

it has been an on going life challenge to simply embody my own innate value and belonging within the ground of Being where everything  arises offering possibilities.   I learned from this space to trust the unfolding of life.

It is this journey that fascinates me and one which I love to inspire in others.  It is this journey that unveils the best of each of us to express creatively and courageously with a whole heart, by simply Being who we are without the identities that confine our true nature and expression.

Having traveled a bit to various parts of the world – central Mexico eco-village to study with shamans and healers; Baja California to an indigenous village to help restore a man’s sight; Bali, Indonesia to a global healing conference;  the mountains of British Columbia to backpack and commune with nature; and an Eco Lodge in the Lake Como area of Northern Italy –  I have found the world is extremely small and people all over have the same basic needs, hopes and dreams.

It is to this natural interconnection that I am drawn over and over and am consistently taken into the deep wisdom given to us by Nature and the indigenous peoples of the world.  Transformational Transitions in Union With the Natural World was a focus for me while living in Vermont and attending Goddard College. It continues to crack me open as I walk my own path and witness that of those around me.

Curiosity and a thirst for the deeply spiritual has taken me into exploration of many religious traditions and spiritual paths. These have created a woven tapestry for my own unique spiritual alignment.  The one thing that I gained from these explorations is all paths ultimately contain a repeating thread that brings them all together as One.

My San Diego home base has changed frequently since 3 incredible sons have made their way up and out into the world gifting me with 3 beautiful grandchildren.  I have been home in Northern California/Bay area; Honesdale, PA at the Himalayan Institute; Middlebury, Vermont; Corvallis, Oregon; Austin, Texas; back to California in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothill town of Nevada City on 20 acres of land near the Yuba River; and currently in the lush mountain area of Asheville, N. Carolina – all where beautiful communities of friends reside.

Blogging and writing are a passion!  You will find 3 blogs and a published book, Give Us This Day Our Daily Breath on this website.

From childhood on a love affair with words captivated me.  It resulted in hundreds of dusty journals, volumes of poems, and an abundance of stories and poetic prose about people, cultures, healing, spirituality, science, the arts, the natural world and everyday life.

In 2013 the study and practice of  the Language of Being/Ontological Mastership birthed a much larger context from which to create, live life as it unfolds, and be more effective in my actions.   It has also brought forth the clarity of a lifetime calling: Devotion to being of absolute highest service to Divine Source & Mother Earth .

The story of each of our lives continues to evolve and unfold at this great evolutionary turning.  If I can be of assistance in guiding you on your journey please take the time to connect.  I know I will learn from you as well and we shall ride that wave together!

Two hands together at my heart…

The Light Source within a breaking wave always flowing home to the shore of Being….
