My Life

The path of my 53 years of life has brought me on many adventures and taught me many things.

It has carved many teachings and opened many unexpected possibilities. There is a flow.

Growing up in New Orleans I learned a deep magical flow and an ability to dance and celebrate life. When I moved to Birmingham at 16, I learned the heartache of grief and the impact of unpredictability in my young, well-planned life.

My heads-down working in law and New York law firms taught me the value of detail and dedication and the beauty of a stretch beyond the person I thought I was. In a big city of possibility, I created so much material pleasure, and experienced the magic of connection - the beauty of creation.

There too, the heartaches of the loss of things, of love, of status, of deep inner truths which turned me to look at the pain of healing all the way back to childhood. I learned I needed people and support; that self-reliance could not bring me all the way home. In order to see beyond this pain, I learned the transformative power of alchemy - which is the power of the down, of grieving, of finding myself in the darkness, of hearing the lessons there. Knowing that, I understood that I could grieve without physically dying and that there is wisdom there. That there is a deeper expression that is me. This allowed me more ability to be with all of myself and engage in a fuller life because I understood and shured my foundation. Slowly, I strengthened me.

I moved to L.A and northern California and those cities filled me with the joy and community I needed to return to Birmingham - where I now rest and rejuvenate my soul to whole. Learning to feel the pain, the joy - life. To move with a greater way of being which includes both rest and service, especially creativity. To care for my body and fulfill my desires, feel my grief and explode with joy. And as I do, I come into the expression of me - what is true for me to say and be and to be that in all circumstances proudly.

I have an appreciation for each step that has been and for the ones to come.

This is my path and I am dedicated to my purpose.
