I believe in justice, I believe in equality, I believe in rising from oppression, I believe in freedom, I believe in love, I believe in beauty, I believe in abundance, I believe in health and well-being, I believe each person matters, I believe in exploring fullest potential, I believe in transcendence.

I believe in the above so fervently that I, too, have been willing to risk everything; starting with unraveling and extracting myself from my birth family’s system, (post father), of survival, getting enough and having enough and segueing to leaving a long-term marriage. In addition to joyous moments of discovery, there have been many lonely, isolating, emotionally wrenching ones on this path I call “The Hero’s Journey” in shattering the illusions and removing veil after veil to achieve autonomy. This is an enormous journey, and not one step has been easy. However, given the freedom I am starting to feel and embrace more often and the expansion in my creative expression, the golden doors are open and I will continue, because it is my destiny, to walk through them no matter what.
