When I was a little girl I felt very loved by my parents, and safe in my home environment. I am grateful as that kind of love and caring provided me with the foundation for expressing love deeply toward my spiritual family, extended family, friends, and others throughout my life.
My childhood vision was to marry and bear children. As fate would have it, at 22 I married the man of my dreams
and gave birth to our two, now grown children. Even through the ups and downs as all families have, our love has endured, and been revealed to one another over and over again. Through it all one of my greatest joys and privileges was to have raised and enjoyed our children, my marriage, and our family unit. I shall always cherish this gift from Divine Presence.
I did not realize until my 40's however, that there was and is an even greater love, than that of another human being.
This love was revealed to me when I was Born Again In The Spirit while attending my first CLM retreat. It was and is the most intimate love that I feel and experience everyday. This love is Divine Presence, residing within each and every one of us and in all things. "Presence" pours forth love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and all other attributes of Grace. It is from this inner Sacred Chamber that my Spirit-Led Healing work began and flourishes.
The stillness and contentment I feel from "Presence" completes me. I am forever refreshed, renewed, and awe inspired by the Glory of my Beloved!
