About Your Guide
In my early 20s, I took my very first meditation class. The instructor was way into her 60s and ahead of her time. She could stand on her head while she led us in guided practice; I felt my body leave and watch me lying underneath it. I was hooked.
I was raised in a difficult childhood that was rooted in ancestral dysfunction. My life has been a continuous search to find myself and my own worth, which led me down an interesting, magical path. I believe that when we look beyond our past, we find ourselves. Our past does not define us.
Through my research, writing, and the individuals along the way, I found all those missing parts I thought were broken. They never were; I just needed to find the key to open them.
Most of my meditations and writings began as images appearing in my mind's eye, dreams, or small nudges from my guides, showing up before any words, then flowing onto the page.
I write for both adults and children; some of my writing comes from the imagination that landed in me as a child to protect me.
Here, you'll find all of that and more.
Let's see where spirit leads us (how exciting)
Nothing here is finished.
Stay and see what's still becoming.
Words Meant To Be Felt
Some words go beyond just a word
Some are meant to be felt
And show up when you're not even looking for them

Words find me
Welcome to this collection of poems.
Throughout my life,
I have found comfort and healing in writing poems and stories.
Many of my pieces begin as images held within my mind
long before they ever become words on paper.
You may even recognize pieces of your own story here,
and perhaps be inspired to create, grow or discover
a new perspective waiting around the corner for you.
Together, may we walk into this safe, sacred space one word at a time
