About Me


**I am a seeker, a dreamer, a believer. I am on a spiritual journey that continuously amazes and enlightens me and which I am happy to share with those who are interested.
I am an Ordained Minister and Reiki Master, and while I have no ties to organized religion or a preferrence to one over any other, I have a deep faith in spirituality and the existence of a higher power. There are parts of all religons and beliefs that appeal to me but I don't see where one concept is better than another.
I'm a single mother to three wonderful children who, like me, are all on the Autism spectrum. It's a challenging life, but one I am happy with. I couldn't imagine not having them in my life, even with all the challenges they present.
We are not held back by circumstances, we are simply held back by the extent of our imagination and our dreams. If you dream it, if your truly believe it, you are capable of achieving it. You manifest what you think about, whether you want to or not. Like attracts like so if you're thinking about what you don't have you will attract more of that into your life, but if you think about, visualize, what you WANT then it will manifest.

Bridge Over Trouble Water

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

For the generous person, borders are permeable.

What is yours - your suffering, your problems - is also mine: This is compassion.

What is mine - my possessions, my body, my knowledge and abilities, my time and resources, my energy - is also yours: This is generosity.

Trust and Love

Trust is when you can remove your social disguise and stand naked and vulnerable before someone, exposing your true self to them. This takes great courage because you are risking the ultimate humiliation and rejection by this person.

Love is when that person accepts you for who you are and doesn't laugh and point out your imperfections. You already KNOW what your imperfections are but are willing to bare all to this person.

Love is also knowing that someone does trust you enough to risk being vulnerable and real, knowing that you could destroy them instantly.

I'd like to meet:

THE 12 LAWS OF KARMA

THE GREAT LAW
As you sow, so shall you reap. This is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect. Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us. If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Friendship, Love... Then we should BE Happy, Peaceful, Loving, a Friend.

THE LAW OF CREATION
Life doesn't just HAPPEN, it requires our participation. We are one with the Universe both inside and out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state. BE and DO yourself... what you want to have in your Life.

THE LAW OF HUMILITY
What you refuse to accept, will continue for you. If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.

THE LAW OF GROWTH
Wherever you go, there you are. For us to GROW in Spirit it is we who must change and not the people, places or things around us. The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES and that is the only factor we have control over. When we change who and what we are within our heart our life changes too.

THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY
Whenever there is something wrong, there is something wrong in me. We mirror what surrounds us and what surrounds us mirrors us We must take responsibility what is in our life.

THE LAW OF CONNECTION
Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads to the next step and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance They were both needed to accomplish the task. Past, Present, Future They are all connected...

THE LAW OF FOCUS
You can't think of two things at the same time. When our focus is on Spiritual Values it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.

THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY
If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that truth. Here is where we put what we SAY that we have learned into PRACTICE.

THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW
Looking back to examine what was, prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW. Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams... Prevent us from having new ones.

THE LAW OF CHANGE
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.

THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD
All Rewards require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil. True Joy follows doing what we're suppose to be doing and waiting for the Reward to come in it's on time.

THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION
You get back from something whatever you've put into it The Value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it. Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole Lack luster Contributions have no impact on the Whole or work to diminish it. Loving Contributions Life Up and Inspire the Whole

Music:



I have very eclectic tastes in music that range everywhere from 50's rock to New Age and most everything in between.

GLITCH Hard rock at its best

Books:

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me
Black as the Pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishment the scroll
I am the Master of my fate
I am the Captain of my soul

-- William Earnest Henley

Heroes:

My heroes are all the people who do not judge others by the mistakes they have made but, instead, can see the good they have done. Those who do things to make a positive difference in the world and do so not to make themselves look good but because it's the right thing to do. All the people who have come and gone in my life, whether the experience was positive or negative, they taught me things about myself and people in general and I do appreciate the lessons.
The Deal by Peeler
My eyes arent dry
My heart melts away
When I think of a smile
From your beautiful face
Theres this wall that we cant see
So I think today I might escape from me
But the deal is I love you anyway
All is well and well is all
And I can fly after the fall
Ill look for your eyes at the show
When you hear this song you will know
That the deal is Im gonna love you anyway
Yeah the deal is I love you anyway
It hurts so bad not to have you in my life
Because the worlds alive when I have you in my life
Its killing me inside not to have you in my life
But this not about me its about you
And whats going on in your heart
Yeah the deal is I love you anyway
It takes my heart back to that night
I got lost in your beautiful eyes
Reaching out at what youd throw away
But Im gonna love you anyway
Cause the deal is. I love you anyway
Yeah the deal is I love you anyway
Oh the deal is Ill always love you anyway
