I want to rid my life of clocks, schedules and deadlines and live by the rising sun.
Worship the moon and feel the earth beneath my feet.
Walk off the beaten path and celebrate Mother Nature and all its creatures.
Love on my own terms and see adventure in every day.
Nourish my soul and make time to express the passions that truly matter.
Fall in love with everyone I meet, and collect the stories to tell.
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

Uhhh, I don’t know, loo. Well, sometimes it starts with a vision in my head of what I want the end result to look like and sometimes it’s a candid shot. Either one, requires an excellent photographer to execute the vision. 🙂

We must connect to the earth and nature to really purify our souls. It is how I reboot. It is how I feel ALIVE. Honestly I have no clue what the date is and the only reason I know the time is because I have to take my seizure meds. After I do that I will leave the house and even though I cannot get far due to my disease I will listen to the birds and feel the breeze

That is truly all that matters and you are doing it, for whatever time you can. I commend you for fighting through the pain and I do know what that feels like. I have struggled with my own disease for 11 years now and not all days are equal. Best wishes dear and keep your chin up. You are not alone.
