Enlightenment & Wisdom
One day, during a very somber time in my life, I came across a book that changed me forever. Once I read this book, everything I thought I knew about the world, and my relationships changed. In fact, the Universe knew I needed an adjustment, so to get my attention, it conveniently hit me over the head with the answers. How you might ask? Well…
Turning your desires into soul-filled Sacred intentions and allowing the Universe take it from there...
Before I came to understand that I am the co-creator of my life experiences, I experienced despair, fear or discontentment. I came to understand that, although my heartfelt intentions for relief from suffering were real, I was unknowingly adding to my problems instead of helping alleviate them. I was missing key knowledge that would ultimately set me free from sorrow and on a path of joy. I learned about what I like to call the power of setting Sacred Intentions. Creating Sacred Intentions consists of three simple, yet life-changing, steps that I now use to aid me as I navigate my life…
As I walked up the stairs to enter the healing space, I was a little unsure about what I was about to experience. I felt resistance in me...why? I know enough to know that when I feel resistance, it means that my internal sonar is sounding off. That sonar is like an alarm, warning me that I need to look more deeply at what is happening, or about to 'go down.'
It was the final night alone in the woods, and I had an appointment at the outdoor sauna. I had no idea what to expect, except that I had a private appointment in this beautiful outdoor wooden structure. When I arrived, it was starting to get dark. I was greeted by two women who walked me through the process of taking care of the sauna... This was not exactly what I had expected. I didn't realize I was going to be completely alone!

After that first night ALONE IN THE WOODS, I could never have imagined how I would find the ‘real me’ while floating down a river in Maine. When is the last time you sang? I don't mean in your shower or in your car where no one else could hear you. I mean, when is the last time you sang with another human being, proclaiming joy through a melody? It's been a long time since I sang with anyone over the age of four, but last month, I sang with Jen as we floated down a gentle river in Maine. That canoe ride changed my life forever.
I went alone to the woods, and everything changed. Well, when I say that everything changed, I mean everything about my inner perspective changed. My outer life, for all intents and purposes, is still mostly the same...so far. But my heart, well, it’s clearer, beating stronger, and feeling lighter than it has in a very long time…
