..As long as I can remember, I have been a spiritual seeker, personal growth junkie, and one who has tried (and taught!) many many transformational techniques and philosophies. As a young, broke, and lonely single mother for many years, I did everything to work on myself to be able to change my life and circumstances. Yes... yes... it all works wonderfully to some degree... to "fix" your life.But, last year, after some incredibly difficult "dark nights of the soul" I retired as the senior minister of the church I had founded and grown from 7 individuals in my living room to over 250. I was exhausted and worn out. I had had just about enough of everything- and began a time of healing, clearing and processing the pain of a lifetime. In this process, the shell in the ego began to crack and something new and more authentic began to emerge. I was guided to go to India and had a deep spiritual awakening and the process continues. I have let go of my deep need to transform and change and am becoming increasingly happy and satisfied with "what is." I saw how my endless search for transformation was simply the resistance to what is, and my deeper belief in separation and "not enough." Its beautiful to know that right here, God IS, complete and whole and this moment is enough. Yes, I'm sure the universe will continue to evolve my awakening process, but it is good, right now. It's good to not have the driving obsession with fixing my life... Actually, its good to know that it's not really just "my" life.
I have recently opened a new spiritual center in Fresno, CA called "The Oneness Center." It is a beautiful center that supports the spiritual awakening of the individuals it serves, while holding a vsion for the spiritual awakening of humanity. I am also leading retreats, writing, facilitating workshops, traveling and giving Deeksha (transference of divine energy, initiated by Avatars from Southeast India Bhagavan and Amma.) I am the author of "Why Did This Happen to Me Again? Your Keys to Lasting Transformation" and co-author with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer in "Wake Up and Live the Life You Love - In Spirit." I am the creator of Mind Prints, the CDs for adults and children for reprogramming the subconscious mind.
