: About Me

A metaphysical minister with a Masters Degree in Holistic Psychology and 20+ years clinical experience, I love what I do! No longer calling myself a therapist or psychologist, my work now includes many types of explorations designed for personal and spiritual growth.
I've been a writer since 3rd grade when Ms. Cowan told me I was! For the last decade or so I've also edited local magazines: Hembra (Women's Voices) in Albuquerque for about 4 years, then Spirit in the Smokies in Asheville, NC for 7 years. Last year I published my first book, a sweet guide to spiritual growth where the lessons are short and simple, yet powerful.
My passion is spirituality and nature, specifically to allow the state of unconditional love in all my moments. Sometimes I succeed; always I'm moving forward.

It certainly isn't the body that lives eternally, so it must be the spirit. Bodies change and return to the elements from which they are formed, yet our souls, our Spirit, lives on. Much of my understanding comes from having died when I was 19. I wrote about it under the heading "what happens when we die" and my basic point is that death of the body is an amazing miracle of rebirth. It was a glorious experience and all my fears of leaving this bod...
