It has been a journey to arrive here. I have sorted through an entire life (well, at least 50 years worth) of relationships, careers, personal unravelings and re-ravelings, spiritual light and darkness, the east coast and the west coast and now New Mexico is my home.
Everything I am, and therefore everything I do, is an on-going conversation with Spirit, whom I call Inner Wisdom, about one topic. My relationship with my family - the children I care for, the cats, dogs, chickens and bees - my friends, all those I co-create with, the land we farm and the mountains we live in, are all my teachers on this topic. Its the same lesson, over and over again,
I am One with All. Only Love is Real.
I show up in this world to serve this singular teaching. I show up to be a way-shower for those on this path with me. I show up to be a student of these same travelers.
This is who I Am.
It may be important to some of you to know that other "world" stuff. So, here is a brief bio:
I grew up in a New York city "bedroom" community in central New Jersey. In college, I studied psychology and english, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with high honors from Rutgers University in 1988. I then studied law at Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles California and graduated with a Juris Doctorate degree in the early 1990's.
My spiritual journey began back in 1988 as I found myself developing a yearning for "something more." I didn't know what this meant or what to do about it. But something in me felt off-center, needing healing, lost for true direction. Eventually, in my first year of law school, I ended up in ACOA meetings (Adult Children of Alcoholics) and became a student of A Course in Miracles.
Two worlds were opening up to me - law and my spiritual awakening. I lived in both. After law school, I studied Reiki and was initiated as a Reiki Master in 2006. At the same time, I earned my 200-hour teacher certification in Sivanada yoga. Along the way, I trained in guided imagery techniques and life coaching, did my own deep inner child work, counseled others on their path, and always stuck close to "the Course," (a well-known shorthand reference to A Course in Miracles.)
Then, Pathways of Light Spiritual College® came into my life. I enrolled in the College's ministerial program and became ordained as a Minister in January 2013. Now I am a facilitator for the College's courses and I teach students training to become ordained ministers. I am retired from practicing law.
My studies in ministerial work and all the forms of spiritual counseling I practice are ever-present and on-going. Its my passion, my bliss, my pathway to knowing:
I am One with All. Only Love is Real.
