About

Small town girl, born and raised in the Northwest of the United States in a loving, down-to-earth (see above photo!) family. Loved to be outside in nature, and loved to draw, read and write anytime I was stuck indoors. Sensitive, empathic, and very shy until I started school, I was an introvert, clothed in the garb of a soft- hearted but fiery, fun-loving extrovert. At age 50, now, not much has changed! 

Poetry came as a surprise. I had just entered my 30's and experienced a few tough chapters of life that opened up a space in me for poetry to come pouring through, as I questioned everything, and began to get what felt like "answers" that made sense on my soul's journey. In this photo, I was in New York City and this was one of the very first journals I began to intentionally write poetry in (so I had my dear boyfriend at the time take this photo). The other poems, in the beginning, had come to me so fast, that I usually only had time to grab a scrap of paper nearby, and jot down what was coming through. 

Eventually, close friends urged me to begin sharing these poems with others, and this answered what had "newly" become what felt like an ancient longing. Now in alignment with my personal Awakening journey, I wanted to share the poems in hopes that others might feel supported, and less alone in their own awakening journey. 

Little did I know that this deep dream of mine would soon have me meeting up with my Beloved, now husband of fifteen years, and our paths would become a shared experience, taking me around the world for nearly a decade, where I was able to share the poetry within the healing workshops of my husband, Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series of books.

People are usually very curious about two things: our age difference, and how we met.

We're 28 years apart, and we met through a large group of friends who were all meeting and getting to know one another at the same time. Many of us were moving through great change and life circumstances, and we were of all ages and interests. Our shared interest was that each of us wanted to be the Grandest Version of the Greatest Vision ever we held about who we were.

Because we live in the same town, this group of about 25 would end up at the same dinner parties, or birthday parties, or art walks, or fundraiser functions, and so we began to spend a lot of time together as a big band of friends, some of whom were also Neale's children.

It was Love At First Sight between Neale and me, but it was more than that: It was Ancient. It was as if we had found our "Other" Self. And so about two years later, everything shifted and at that time we were both suddenly ready and available to address that Knowing, and moved swiftly into a shared life together, and have now been married 15 precious years.

In these very wild and challenging times as our entire species goes through what seems like an awakening process together, I have--as I imagine you have--been living the paradox of feeling called to Go Within and work to remain grounded, and nourished in as many ways as I can, while simultaneously feeling also called to move outward to do everything I can Do and Be, in order to bring my Light unto the darkness with any gifts I've been given to offer this lifetime. 

For the last two years, I've been working with my co-creative partner, Arianne Taylor (who you will soon meet!) in the creation of an internet platform that will nourish and support, uplift and encourage all of those who have brought themselves into these transformative times. 

Our website platform will launch in late spring of this year, 2022, and will include poetry as well as art, global meditations, and podcasts. Also, something so very, very special, made just for You, that we think will connect our hearts around the world!

Check back in Spring 2022!
