About

The quest for the meaning of life and of the essence of who I was as a human being goes back to when I was 15 years old. While cycling and window browsing in Vancouver, British Columbia I happened upon a bookstore specializing in alternative and spiritual books, Banyen Books. The artifacts in the window and books captivated me, and I just had to go in to explore. Two books captured my attention and I believe, chose me; The Awakening of Intelligence by J. Krisnamurti, and Walden by Henry David Thoreau, and they remain my favorites to this day. I cycled home and devoured these books, with their words making so much sense to me. An inner expansiveness happened that helped me to realize that the life I was living was not truly me, and that I was maintaining a false facade in order to cope with aspects of family life. I was also given a glimpse of truth.

Everybody has a story.  The details of my personal story are not nearly as important as how I have handled or processed my story and in what I have learned along the way. Throughout my life I experienced much joy where I felt truly connected to the essence of life.  But, I have also suffered intensely, feeling great despair, pain and heart-ache. Along the way I often could not understand why I repeated certain patterns, regardless of my budding awakening. It seemed as though doors of consciousness would open and close.

Through various life experiences and as a result of certain ways of thinking and holding certain false beliefs I have been through “hell and back”.  Over time I came to realize that the hell I experienced was of my own creation and that, from the moment of any thought, I could choose on how I wish to create my life.

What I discovered is that life always served me with the perfect experiences necessary for me to break through my sense of self-importance, my victim mentality, and my ego. For the last 50 years I picked myself up and dusted myself off in more ways than I can count, of course much less so now. Occasionally, I still create my “self” to suffer, but now I quickly understand the reasons, then proceed to transmute my feelings and ultimately my energy signature. I feel that I speak and share from one who has been through the trenches of life, learning and a great many things along the way. My drive to expand my consciousness and for self-healing has always been incredibly tenacious and it is through this quest that I am able to guide people on their own path.
