Someone recently asked me who I am and what I do. Those are complicated questions, with very long and winding answers, but I've done my best to condense it here and hope it gives you a sense of "who I am".

 I am someone who was born "awake." Meaning, I tend to see the truth of what is happening around me rather than believing the false stories and agendas that are being played out. I tend to just "know" things and can size up most people and their true intentions almost instantly. I am deeply empathetic and intuitive and wish to make a positive difference for others, which drives me to constantly seek out the new, the different, and the next to find what works the best to create change. I am someone who is obsessed with finding what will actually work to help change my own and other people’s lives. I am a healer, a teacher, a writer, and an artist. I am deeply moved by music and nature’s beauty and tactile sensation in ways that are felt in my very cells and down to the bone. 

My nature is wild and powerful and strong. I value freedom in life over all else. I am passionate, sometimes overly opinionated, but always truthful and forthright. No one ever said they are unsure of how I feel about things! My energy can be overwhelming to some, and most people love me or hate me… not a lot of grey area. I always show the truth of who I am and am more concerned with authenticity rather than having others’ like me. If I am liked or loved, I wish it to be for exactly who I am and not because I am pretending to be what someone else wants.

Honesty and transparency are the most important core values in life to me. Without it, you have nothing – not with yourself, not with another, not with the world. No life, relationship, reputation, business, etc. that has been built on lies or half-truths is worth anything! Untruth rots you from the inside out, destroys who you are, and eventually brings about your own demise in one way or another. We have seen enough of that in the world and it’s time to choose integrity and usher in a new Earth built on the light of truth and honesty, compassion and love.

Life has been beautifully tragic, unimaginably harsh and painful, many times unbearable to the point of near suicide, and yet filled with so much magic and miracles it’s ridiculous! I do not have enough fingers and toes to count the “tower moments” and dark days I’ve endured, and yet I always come out the other side and think they are the best things that ever happened to me. It is a wonder I have survived, and yet I tell people I am the luckiest girl in the world – and I really mean it!

I have lost nearly everyone in my life. I have had my entire world implode in 2 seconds flat, losing everything I had built for nearly 30 years. I have been on the brink of death and clawed my way back. I have been so alone and so lonely that it felt as if my heart was literally breaking each morning when I got up. Life has been hard and cruel and so completely messed up that I often wonder why on earth I chose to come here and go through it. And yet, I KNOW how loved I am… I see how cared for I am… I witness the protection and the blessings and the magic that is bestowed upon me every day. 

I want so desperately to offer a safe place for others to heal. To use my gifts, my talents, my skills and knowledge to navigate them into places of self-acceptance and love and gratitude for what they’ve been through. To help them see the truth of who they are beyond the damage and dramas and traumas. To help them know that they are fighters who have endured this 3-D life on Earth, in the densest energies in the universe, on the fastest moving planet in the galaxy, because they can! I want them to come to know within themselves that they are strong and capable and sovereign.

My desire is to spend the remainder of my life helping people heal from what life has dealt them. To assist them in healing the inside so that the outside will reflect back their greatest hopes and dreams and wishes. I am happiest when I witness someone come out the other side with full knowledge that they have survived, they have lived to tell the tales, and that they can walk this world no longer a victim, but as a freaking warrior! 

We are all a spark of the true light. We are made of that light, we hold that light, and we are obligated to share our healing light. I hope to end life knowing that I did everything I could to drop as much light as possible into this world. If I can make such a profound difference to just one person that it causes them to see their own light and chose to share it in turn, I will die a happy and contented woman. 

The true light is love and love is the light. And for me, love is the only thing in life that truly matters! Without it, what’s the point? So who am I? I am the spark of the true light. And what do I do? I work with my light.
