A Woman's Journey to Connect to Her Soul
"Our life is frittered away by detail … simplify, simplify."
Henry David Thoreau
My journey through life has been anything but simple. I've inspired others by being willing to open my heart and share my life's story. I believe we are all healers in some form or other - We all have a story. The more we share, the deeper the healing goes, not only for others but, through the process, for our own healing.
I was born and raised in a small town in Southern Missouri. I was very sheltered according to today's standards. MY father was killed when I was just two years old; six months later my mother remarried. My stepfather was a very religious man and so I was raised that way. I always felt like I lived in duality with the way people talked and then acted.
One of my early challenges was in the treatment of people: If God was this loving God why were people not treated the same?
I didn't see a black person - they were not allowed off the bus in my hometown - until I was age sixteen and spent the summer in Michigan. This was in the 50's and 60's. I feel it's ironic today that my heart is very connected to the Zulus in South Africa where I have made many trips since 1999. Several Spiritual Healers there have told me that I have been a Zulu in many lifetimes. I now know why every time I land in South Africa, I feel it's home and my tears are tears of joy. My soul belief is that when we heal Africa we will heal the World. It feels to me that that is the foundation of our soul's journey on this planet. I still make two trips a year there and have trained many to do my basic work.
My journey has led me into two marriages, five children, 18 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. I majored in music, taught the piano and organ for many years and played in churches for over 30 years. I moved from Missouri to Detroit in 1957 and got married. I had five children with my first husband. When we got divorced in 1974, I moved to California and started in real estate. Over the next 18 years I built two major corporations and 8 network marketing companies - I became a complete workaholic. That was my way of trying to love myself and get the approval I never felt I had in childhood.
In 1990 my life changed dramatically when I discovered Behavioral Kinesiology after the death of a relationship. I knew then, without a shadow of a doubt, that I had a mission and a tool to make changes for the healing of our planet.
As I facilitate my workshops I always tell my students, "You can't heal what you can't feel." I know my many experiences in life have been blessings and allowed me to feel empathy for others.
