The Journey Begins…………..

I have been hearing a very clear whisper in my spirit; “That place you are searching for is something that only you can create.”. When I heard those words, I quickly realized it meant a spiritual platform of inclusion rather than separation. God knows my spirit yearns for a place of gathering amongst souls that will realize they are worthy of God’s love, they are already more than enough exactly as they are. There is a longing within me to create a safe place for us to lay our burdens and heaviness down and pick up a ribbon of hope. I wish for there to be a space to rest with a blanket of comfort wrapped around us knowing that God is with us in it all and to know we are surrounded by an army of unconditional love willing to walking alongside us on our journey.

The yearning in me has been simmering for a while now. That long ensuing has allowed a preparation to proclaim a flux of collective thoughts. These thoughts have been developing from the time I was a young girl. From a very young age, I used to take my notebook and pencil out into the woods of Vermont and find my favorite patch of moss to lay on while I spent hours writing journal entries, poetry and short stories. Those writings always varied in themes but always involved some type of thought of where God fit into it. My spiritual lenses have always been very sensitive to the Spirit of God and stems from an upbringing of “Hippie-Jesus loving” parents whom exposed me to the truth of God’s undying love rather than the oppressive notions of religion. I have always thrived in the seclusion of nature and I have always felt such a connection between myself, nature and God. As I immerse myself in God’s beautiful creation, the words that sometimes swirl in chaos all come into order and I am able to articulate the sight of my spirit rather than the vision of my flesh. The smells of the trees, the singing of the birds, the crunch of branches beneath my feet, the peace of the ripples of the water in the brooks and rivers, or the rising and sinking of the waves as they pull and push……these are the sounds and feelings that heal my soul and bring my essence to life.

The journey to blogging has been quite the adventure. I have dreamt of writing a book for years and it seems that every time I attempt to start, Life throws a deterrent into that path. I realize now that the timing in all of it was beautifully on purpose and it was always designed to be a Blog first, then the Book. As I venture out on this grand tour, I desire to connect the dots of this great matrix of life’s beautiful and sometimes incredibly painful experience with room still for the awakening of my heart, mind, soul and spirit. I hope that as you journey with me, we will enable each other to a new level of growth in ourselves all while supporting one another.

Thank You for joining the RIDE!!!!!

With Much Love,
