Foundation of My Practice
About
Me
When I was a child, I lived in my imagination and it was far more beautiful than my every day reality. I believed God was always with me and I spoke to angels. I imagined loving people in extraordinary ways, writing books, and living my heaven on the earth. What was once a dream is now becoming my reality by listening and living soulfully.
I
swear to you there are divine things
more beautiful than words can tell.
Walt Whitman
In 1986, I attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. I married and we had a beautiful son, AJ. We divorced after 4years of marriage. I became an International flight attendant for 13 years. It was during this time that I traveled extensively around the world and studied many religions, cultures and spiritual practices. As I traveled the world, I realized many people held the same principles about peace, god, love and children I as I did and perhaps were we not so different after all.
Love
is my religion.
John Keats
I learned to love diverse countries like New Zealand, Israel, Japan, Egypt and Great Britain. I studied religions: Christianity, Judaism, Bahai’, shamanism, and other mystical practices and languages. I have had thousands of conversations with people from all walks of life about their lives, jobs, families and dreams. Through all the barriers of hatred, prejudiced, poverty, racism, violence, economics and language; I came to realize that love is the heart of humanity. Every where I went, I spoke to people about love and their souls would light up. I learned to follow that light.
