I have lived in some beautiful areas of the country. I grew up in the desert southwest and in the rockies. I never took the beauty of those majestic places for granted. I noticed the way the sun showed the many shades of red, orange, yellow, brown and green of the desert depending on where the sun was in the sky. The rare super cell thunderstorm would gather on the horizon and I would sit for hours and watch it slowly advance. In Colorado Springs, where my son was born, I would look each morning out my kitchen window facing Pikes Peak and say “the mountain looks beautiful today.” Every year my parents would take my brother and I to our land, a small hill located in the center of a large divide between the Rocky Mountains and the front range. Nearest town was Breckenridge, very small and 100 miles away. Nights at the land were some of my favorites. I would lay by the fire and stare up into the sky where I would see billions of stars. Even the milky way was visible. A few lucky times I heard wolves singing in the night. They always gave me goosebumps, the good kind 
Maybe I was too connected to the earth. At some point I disconnected with myself and received solace in nature. Then I moved to Philadelphia, a city of 1.5 million people and little nature. Here is where I began my healing journey. I was no longer able to escape. I had to see what was inside of me before I could heal myself. It is here in Philadelphia that I learned, through the help of beautiful and wise people, how to open my heart to love myself and others. To stop feeling like everyone was out to get me. To stop hiding and put myself out there. To heal past experiences and emotions. To trust my intuition and to help others heal.
And now I feel like I’m being called back home. I can no longer ignore my body which prefers high altitude and dry air. After struggling for 6 months on where I need to be I received some clarity from the archangels. In April or June of 2012 I will be moving to Taos, NM.
My connection to Philly is so strong and will never be severed. It is a magical and energetic place and the healing community is growing tremendously! (Not to mention the music!!) I will be coming back as often as I am able to teach Reiki workshops and hang with all you bright beings!
In closing, this is what I am looking forward to. Wide open spaces…dry air…the desert…the mountains…the stars…the native americans…the quiet…meeting new people…bringing my healing work home.
