“JOURNEY” is a huge life word for me!! For 57+ years I have walked through life interacting with it’s breezes and beauty and it’s people… and I have loved it. I have loved giving my life away to others : Connecting… creating flow… dancing… nurturing… cooking… caring for my family… celebrating any holidays or just a day when you needed to make it a happy, doable day… helping others find health and wholeness and joy… belief in my purpose …loved bringing sunshine to people’s day… loved creating events that connected people and fun… loved dancing down the street or through the leaves… I loved life!!
February of 1995 my life took a dramatic change and my world has forever changed. My JOURNEY took a life of it’s own as I began to grapple with it’s impact upon my world… it slowly sucked the life from my soul and the sunshine from my heart and the dance in my feet. I began to journal intensely trying to make sense of it all. I wrote poems that flowed out of the pain and the losses… as I slowly lost control of my life.
April 29, 2004 as I crumpled to the floor the final blows of the battle wielded their blow as it took away the last of everything that I based my identity on or that I found such joy in. My world closed in until I have found myself isolated in a space that is so different from who I was for the first 45 years of my life. My strength gone, my ability to sing gone, my ability to interact with people very limited.
This web site is about the journey and it’s discoveries about myself, my fears, my false beliefs, about God. It is an ongoing grappling to find my way, my purpose, the strength to push ahead… and my tool has been my journaling, my searching for answers. And so I invite you to walk the journey with me… and share yours with me. I love connecting.
