welcome namaste
Whatever your background, whatever your path... welcome; or, in the language of those who practice yoga (yogis), namaste. The light in me sees the light in you!
This site is an offering to all who are open to a greater vision for their own life and our world. During times of change, we can live with more ease and fulfillment when we honor and support ourselves, one another and our world.
Whether we are experiencing change (or desiring change) in our relationships, work life, living space, lifestyle choices or other aspects of our lives, our inner wisdom can guide us when we understand how to listen. We can make a difference for ourselves and others.
Come on in and look around the site for something that appeals to you, stay connected via my email list or contact me to share how you want to make positive changes in your life or in the lives of others.

"Namaste is
an Indian expression used as a greeting or upon parting, by putting the
palms of the hands together in prayer position. It means, “I honor the
Spirit in you which is also in me.” This, of course, is also a way of
saying, “I recognize that we are all equal.”

"I honor the place in you where
the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you, where lies your
love, your light, your truth and your beauty. I honor the place in you,
where...if you are in that place in you ... and I am in that place in
me...then there is only one of us"

WHY THE ACORN SYMBOL?
Change is the Passage
from Potential to Actual
Change is the Passage
from Potential to Actual
The acorn is an illustration of one of my favorite topics to explore -- entelechy. Entelechy means, "bearing the goal within itself," and is a type of inspiration, quest for self-determination and creative force directing life to become all it is capable of being.
When people lose their connection with their own inner self and nature and attach themselves to the status quo, they remain bound by their ego or by outer systems that may limit their potential. When we allow ourselves to be a symbiotic part of a web of relationships -- and offer our talents as contributions to our community -- we feel more whole and fulfilled. We live a life guided by passion and conscious purpose.
Many great teachers and humanitarians, from days of old to modern times -- Gautama Buddha, Jesus, St. Francis, Gandhi, Mozart, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Einstein, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Rudolph Steiner, Maria Montessori and even Michael Jackson -- were ordinary individuals who knew what it was to be human. But they also dedicated themselves to listening to their inner spirit and, with a superhuman commitment to serving others, they achieved their greatness.

But they also dedicated themselves to listening to their inner spirit and, with a superhuman commitment to serving others, they achieved their greatness.
It has been said that gifted people with entelechy are like a magnet -- often attractive to others who feel drawn to their openness, aspirations and vision. Being near someone with this energy gives others hope and motivation to achieve their own self-actualization. I believe we ALL have entelechy or whatever we want to call it. I know that when we open to it, and even ask it to guide us, extraordinary things happen.
I'll have circled the sun 45 times this coming summer. When I reflect on my life story, I know that it has been, and continues to be, an inspired journey -- a journey filled with surprise "it's a small world" experiences, wondrous synchronicities and even a few miracles (by most people's standards) that have guided my path when I have chosen to listen to its whispers.
The inspiration that drives my work (which calls itself "Mosaic of Self") is that I have seen it make a difference in the lives of countless others, locally and in various countries across the globe. It is my hope that it may assist you in listening to the voice of your own inner calling -- that you learn to listen and follow the cosmic bread crumbs that guide your own unique path.
