My Spiritual
Journey
My Spiritual Journey
I have a Masters in Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA. and a Bachelors in Journalism and Political Science.
I have more than 20 years experience as a teacher, pastor, small group and team facilitator, a reiki master, a communications professional and personal coach. I have also had the honor of serving as a hospital and hospice chaplain.
My spiritual journey has been diverse. I have explored and been a part of various spiritual traditions and practices – including Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, and Pagan mysticism.
I believe we are the sum of all our experiences. I am a spiritual mutt and an Omnist. I believe that we are all on different paths in the same journey, discovering our own truths, values and voice.
But no matter what role I am in, I will always be a pastor at heart.
No, I am not here to “evangelize” to you or convince you to think like me, talk like me or be like me.
Spirituality is a round table. There is no one above the other – we are on equal footing.
I honor the journey you take, and practice “Namaste”, where the Divine in me honors the Divine in you.
I love that God allows us to “choose your own adventure” on our journey to the YOUniverse within.
What If ?
Self-Love. Self-Care. Self-Everything …
Self-love. Self-care. Perhaps the two most overused phrases in the field of self-help, life coaching and wellness.
They have lost its punch, it’s zing …
Turned into fluff, floating and disappearing into the clouds.
Let me reframe it a bit so that hopefully it will become meaningful again.
The partner you give yourself is priceless and irreplaceable.
Self-love, self-care, self-worth, self-respect … is that partnership.
How are you partnering with yourself?
When you look at yourself in the mirror, what conversations are you having?
Do you see yourself as …
A success, instead of a disappointment or failure?
As perfectly whole – not broken, needing fixing or rescuing?
An investment, worth that time and energy, not a deficit?
Worthy of the space you take, not a burden?
The partner you give yourself is priceless and irreplaceable.
Give yourself the compassion, patience and grace you so easily give to others.
Be your best partner.
That is self-love, self-care, self-everything … reframed and reimagined.
What do you think? Did I give back its zing?
A POEM
Becoming
I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. I am exactly where I need to be. I am exactly where I am. I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams.
Throw me shade, I will rise. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. I claim mental immunity. I am exactly who I need to be. All of my wholeness becoming. I am exactly me.
The YOUniverse within me. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. Clarity and harmony are within me and around me. I breathe. I sparkle. I shine my light. What you are seeking is seeking you. I am my own miracle. I am a blessing manifest.
I am enough. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. I am becoming more comfortable in my own skin. I am embracing and accepting all of me. I am celebrating the space I take.
I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. You are always welcome, you have a seat at the table. Nothing that is meant for me will pass me by.
I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better. Grateful for where I am. Excited for where I am going. I am divinely timed. Destiny she blesses me.
