For most of my life, I believed that good was possible but also that things could go quite bad, and we didn’t necessarily have control over how our lives were going to go. Even though I had been exposed to the idea of a greater universe, living in alignment with nature, and working with one’s being at a profound level at a very young age.

I understood concepts like spirit and soul and spent a considerable amount of my adult life exploring topics like Astrology, healing with energy & plants, Buddhism, and Paganism. But while I was devoted to a holistic health worldview, I wasn’t sure what I had decided about spirit, god, the universe, or any of that.

I was a believer, but in what?

In 2016 after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly twenty years, I left my job and fulfilled my dream of traveling to Brazil and South America. Doing this gave me more of a travel bug. I’ve pretty much lived as a nomad and minimalist ever since.

During the year I left California, I had a moment of clarity where I realized the mediocrity people settle for, and I felt there was something more. I didn’t think everyone should travel, but a life of complaining and settling wasn’t for me.

However, even after connecting with myself in a joyful way through travel, several years later, I experienced, not for the first time, a dark period of anxiety, phobias, and hopelessness in my life.

The light in the tunnel was finding spiritual and personal development teachers that introduced me to the idea of my deeper being and Source energy—the thing that we all come from and emanate. That I could attune (or not) to Source energy and that the universe was on my side. It absolutely was the medicine I needed at the time.

This realization spoke to the very thing I had been noticing with others’ discontent, but I didn’t have the words for it.

I believe who we are is Source (God, universe, nature, Shiva) energy, and we are always connected to it. It is an energy of creation and potentiality. Quantum physics can now explain the same reality.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I do know that our souls incarnated now. For this moment, for this human journey.

Life on earth is in constant change and evolution.

I believe we inherit positive aspects and also issues less so that we must contend with personally and collectively. We are alive at a time when so much is happening that affects our well-being and will impact our children’s children.

Growing up on an organic farm, a child of parents who practiced macrobiotics, studying nutrition, and herbalism, I’ve always been in touch with vitalism and an awareness of the earth.

I now realize that it is all interconnected.

And it’s really what I was taught as a child.

Life is cursing through every living being on earth. It is our natural state.

It is in every rock, every stream, and in our consciousness. It comes from Source energy. It’s yours, and it is always present. It is available to us, can be amplified, and we can attune to it or not.

It is the healing that we all are yearning for.

It is our natural state, and it has a potentiality beyond words.

I am here to uphold life on earth. And I’m here to celebrate it.
