Accomplishments & Other Stuff You May Want to Know About Me
I'm a nonbinary person. My pronouns are they, them their. If you're curious, here's a link that describes how you can use them.
I'man award-winning speaker, certified life coach, certified peer-counselor, and Reiki master with fifteen years of experience teaching, training, and coaching clients. I'm the course creator and teacher of Wise Peer Communication and History, Meaning & Reading of the Tarot.
A huge part of who I am that informs my work, my writing and my daily living is that I'm a mystic. What that means is that I experience the presence of the divine. I even have conversations with God. Nothing fancy. It's just like as if you and I were talking. The god of my understanding is unfailingly sweet, kind, compassionate and delighted. His presence is the greatest source of comfort in my life. It's what makes me love life, people, Mother Gaia and all her inhabitant. It's what makes believe that all is divine and makes me trust in the goodness of the world regardless of what seems to be the matter with it.
