My Vocational Journey

We all have unique paths, though our common threads include the expression of our humanity and celebrating our divine essence. Obviously, it is a long and winding road! The keys to making any kind of life shift include recognizing the divine inside of your humanity, to awaken its power, to live with it, and then to find a state of acceptance for whatever comes.

This is grace.

At some point we are all called to walk our talk and actually begin sustaining an integrated and healthy state of being on all levels. In 1999, I found myself challenged with a different crisis and became immersed in a test that would eventually show me just how powerful our mind, body, spirit connections really are. Maybe you’ve had similar experiences.

I awakened one night in a panic, electricity jolting through my body, unable to breathe. I knew then that it was a spiritual experience, yet because it was expressed so dramatically and so physically, I needed professional outside help.

Eventually I was diagnosed with a congenital spinal condition (both lumbar and cervical) that needed immediate surgery. Operating out of great fear in those moments, I scheduled an appointment with a neurologist. Luckily, within just a few weeks something shifted inside me once again, and I began a 3-month self-healing journey, primarily focused on rewiring my thinking and purging old emotions.

I still have occasional electrical experiences. The intensity has lessened, for the most part I’m not fearful, and the physical aspects have been replaced with almost completely spiritual interpretations.

Someone once told me that the desire to completely fix ourselves is not really the point. More important is our ability to sustain internal grace in a chaotic environment, and acceptance for all.
