This journey begins with every emotion you can feel or sense, every miserable thought you can think.

All enraptured by FEAR.

I found myself sitting at my desk, just an ordinary day of work from home. Zoom calls filled the day and emergency fix this, I got a problem here, my delivery shipment is delayed, my new product is launching and I need this ASAP. Yes, my load to bear every day getting up a bit earlier and finding myself working even later into the evening.

It was during these hours of the week; I was trying to find something of value for myself. You know the accomplishments we strive for the bonus that might come, the kudos from my team. This kept me invested. On a lunch break I started surfing YouTube just to sooth my heart and my head. I had started meditation and found it to be very relaxing, even learning to do this in short moments to clear my head and it was working beautifully. So, on the YouTube I found my favorite meditation and listened in. During this fifteen-minute time, I longed to be free, I began to dream, to find a different life. In drifting along with these thoughts, I began to hear my own heart. I mean really hear. This is what I heard, “Do you want to live the best part of your life like this?” Solving other problems, correcting mistakes so that others enjoy their life and you deny your own? Wow did that ever sting and start to sink in at such a level I screamed NOOOOO!!

A new journey begins…

Now I am on a search, a search for freedom, for joy, for understanding, for value that lasts, for investment in myself. This sent me for a much-needed and well-deserved vacation, not for luxury but to find me. The woods, the water, the mountains were calling me and a different set of values that I had long ignored began to call me. It was time to think of myself and only myself, I would relish in all that I could be taught, all that I could learn about myself. When was the last time I stopped long enough to listen to my needs? Too many years, I am on a journey to discover why I am I here, what do I really love, where do I really want to invest my time and my talents. Certainly not to prostitute myself out anymore for a paycheck. (Yes, that’s a crude description of truth there). Sometimes pain, restlessness and even anger can drive us to look deep inside and all of this was driving me to a greater destiny. I was heartsick, and my soul was sore from all the care I had spent for other people and things.

This led me to a retreat, with those who did not know me, nor I about them. A real step out of my comfort zone. I realized that in one week and three days my life would forever change, and that change was a huge leap off the cliff of old paths, paradigms, belief systems and thought patterns.

What did I do? I made an escape plan….(read more) 

It was Friday, my mom’s birthday and the holidays were upon us. For several months, Mom had been trying to get Dad into a memory care center. That has not been easy because he has severe dementia, and many comorbidities associated with having diabetes for 50+ years. He was on a complicated insulin pump that most assisted living or memory care facilities do not know how to deal with. During that time, I was very busy with the” hurry up and wait” of purchasing land to begin a tiny house hotel and spiritual retreat center with my friend Lesa Gavron.

The land in Lawrence County, Tennessee has been secured and now the physical work of placing utilities and road infrastructure is in full swing. Much of my time is cheerfully given to working with nature, my son, my grandson, and Lesa Gavron to transition the undeveloped acreage into a lovely place where folks (like you!) can come for fellowship, spiritual support, and rest.

Along with a trip to visit my parents in Georgia, I had to cancel clients last minute (something I have rarely ever done) or rush to find an internet connection to meet with clients. Stress was building up daily. Stress can be a good motivator for change! but what would that change look like? [Read more…]

Some of the most powerful teaching I’ve ever heard. I am now experiencing the results of using my mind and feelings to create my reality. This stuff really works!
