I am a divine being in a colored women's body. I love dogs, tea and laughter. If I never get to laugh in my entire life, it would bother me. My deep connection to GOD inspires me. I am also inspired when I hear other people share their dreams and know that they are following their divine purpose as well. 

I got here after a long journey swallowed by dark corners. There were 3 failed suicide attempts and the death of my grandma. Yeah, I made mistakes, but becoming a massage therapist and doing energy work helped me heal myself (I had PCOS), and have helped me get to this point. 

I appreciate air and breathing. I know I sound "New Agey" (I am an Aquarian, so what! hahahahaha). Breath sustains life and every living being is important even though they have different jobs to do. You smell and feel change in the air and taking a deep breath helps change a mindset or how we hold our bodies. It's simply beautiful. Every day, I make sure I meditate, write in my journal, give thanks to nature and then I surround myself with like-minded, beautiful people.

My favorite book would be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I was emotional reading the book. It also shed light on who really has your best interests at heart and who is really selfish. Everyone has motives. You are not alone in your journey. There are a lot of people or beings working behind the scenes.

I would tell my younger self is it ok and safe to express your emotions and be soft. I would also tell her to not give a damn about what people "expect" from her. They don't know what is in your heart. You are beautiful, strong and amazing! 

I know this may sound corny, but life makes me happy. To know that you wake up in the morning and you can start over is amazing. I know to be spiritually down in the dumps to the point of ending my life. I don't take my self-worth for granted. I'm happy when friends who aspire to be better and share their dreams and ideas succeed. Their eyes twinkle and you see their aura just fill up the room, their heart chakra is open and I feel chills running up and down my body and what they are sharing is their Divine truth. It's truly Miraculous!

I wish we would all succeed and prosper in our own way and to be gentle to ourselves. We are so hard on ourselves and forgiveness. One word of advice: Smile. No matter what kind of day you are having. A smile can change someone from hurting themselves or someone else.

I see myself waking up in Seattle one day. Married, surrounded by dogs, knitting, drinking tea (I did mention that I LOVE tea), volunteering in a hospital, Owning my own healing practice, becoming a shaman..... the possibilities are endless! I believe that my purpose is to help people get in touch with their inner child and dream again. I plant seeds in the earth and in every mind I come across. Dreams change the world but first, we have to start with our inner world.
