My Personal World

You and I are a part of a small minority literally at the forefront of human evolution. Over the last million years less than 2% of human beings have been  motivated more by love, joy, beauty and generosity than fear, guilt, pain and shame. Most of these ecstatic experiences humanity has experienced continue to be through random chance or grace, rather than a consciously executed choice out of preference. I hate these odds! It is my unwillingness to be a part of these statistics that drives a creative impatience to be a part of a growing technology to consciously create more bliss.

In my experience it takes enormous courage for us to stay connected with the world and still be a role-model for the kind of well being we are all capable of as human beings. There is so much pressure to be normal and fit into an ever-tightening rat-race. Yet all of the success I have experienced has been precisely because I have stepped outside the rat-race altogether and done things very differently. Because I have been told and also recognize that my experience is  unique, I want to share what I have learned as a viable way to create more well being in your life.

My path has not been all smooth sailing. I have experienced depression, despair, uncertainty, terror, poverty and compulsive/addictive behavior. Most of what I have learned to navigate this terrain successfully is not readily available and some of it is very counter-intuitive. I see people all the time in self-destructive loops I have already explored and stepped out of who I would love to help. And that is what excites me more than anything about this work. I have a gift for recognizing patterns and putting them into words so that other can see them clearly. This allows us to then explore the many possible responses which can lead to new patterns.

After the amazing success I have experienced through very consciously made choices it is no longer enough for me to accept "mediocrity" or "an absence of pain" as a goal for myself or my clients. Each week I now spend more than $500.00 on growth oriented coaching and healing work which has literally opened up doors for me that I did not know existed a few years ago. I now do this without going into debt. When I began my healing process I was in debt without spending a penny on healing. It has been through my journey of receiving help from the right people that has taught me how to make more money with more joy so that I can do this.

Life keeps getting better each year. As I release more and more of my family and cultural programming life becomes more and more like a game I can play out of preference. As an example, three months ago I decided to change my insistence that people look beyond appearances and see me for who I am, which I expressed through wearing cheap clothes even though I could easily afford more. Something shifted and it seemed more fun to go out and spend a thousand dollars on some upgrades. What I liked about it was that it was a choice of pleasure and fun - and I did not need the money. I take pride in that because when I left home at age seventeen with $50.00 in my pocket, no job and no home of my own, that would have seemed like a fortune. Each step of the way as I have turned that $50.00 into millions has been through learning specific skills - many of which I have learned through formal and lots of informal coaching with people who already had parts of the life I wanted.

As I have gone on my journey I have worked with a number of great therapists, healers, channels and coaches. Many of them have suggested I consider therapy or something similar. I have been content to focus these skills on helping loved ones up until now, in part because I make more money landscaping and enjoy my flexible hours. But it is precisely my growing free time and money which has made this choice to offer coaching more of a joy. I don't need the money, and that is a great place to be. This is why I am able to offer the "Service Program" of coaching, where people who wish to support others in need receive free coaching in exchange for teaching others what they have learned.
