Even as a child I always had a deep spiritual life. I traveled all over and learned from some wonderful teachers, such as a Native American Medicine Man, Sant Darshan Singh, Ram Dass and many others. I earned my Master’s in Special Ed. from the University of Oregon. I taught preschoolers with special needs on the Navajo (Dine) Reservation. In 2005 I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister from One Spirit Interfaith Seminary. During my career I advocated for people dealing with poverty and disability. I didn’t do this for money, but because I’ve lived through it myself. I try to bring a sense of compassion into everything I do. Currently, I’m working hard on having compassion for myself – after five people close to me passed away in 2023. My family, friends, spirituality and creativity are helping me get through it. I’m painting and writing poems again, as I did when I was a teenager. I will be posting more in the future. Here is an example of a pen and ink drawing called “Heartgirl.”
Overall, I believe love is in the trenches, God is everywhere and in everyone. I’ve written a book on meditation, called Five Minutes with God. Just FYI, I am a work in progress, AKA not perfect. But I am trying my best, just as you are. So, be in the trenches of love with me. Together we will find a way.
