My Story
MY STORY:
So with the excitement of having my story published and showcasing my unique view of nature to the world, comes some anxiety. My story not only talks about why I see what I see, but the reasons that I trained myself to see the world this way.
Growing up in a family of nine children, I experienced much chaos that took on many forms. Yet, somehow, I’ve held tight to my desire to fully feel, respond, reflect, and potentially heal my soul. My frustration was always ‘Why Can’t Others See That’.
The irony is not lost on me, that my brain’s creative adaptation is to see things in nature that others don’t. An over developed part of my brain that finally brings me joy instead of frustration. Sharing these images allows me to recapture my lost child like sense of wonder and joy.
NATURE HEALS:
Nature is the most powerful healing force I have found to date. There are many studies that the vibration of the Earth and Nature is literally….a healing force.
In Japan it’s known as the Art of Forest Bathing. That’s why I love looking for Tree Spirits because everyone….and I mean everyone is welcome in Nature. All races, genders, sexualities and spiritual beliefs. Walking in nature allows me to experience the universe or God on my terms.
Every tree spirit I find fills me full of Wonder and Joy and opens my heart. It’s the most healing, heart centered feeling I have ever experienced. Everyday walks offer me the great unknown as I never know what I am going to find. For me, life if more rich and interesting at the edge of the unknown.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER:
What excites me most with tree spirits is people often see what I see, but just as OFTEN they see something additional or different than I do. Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!
Your soul journey is about you listening to your soul and trusting what you see. My hope is that I’ve just added a new tool for you to connect with spirit on your own terms. By being on the lookout for all the really cool spirits that exist right now – if we just choose to open our eyes and see the world a little bit differently! For me it’s the ultimate way to connect with my soul. I’m not interested in the debate of which God is the correct God, but more so, are you living a life of love?
In Nature it’s always about my connection to myself and to whatever I call my creator. Nature only cares about the present moment experience with me. As Yoda said “You will find only what you bring in”. Nature is a spiritual mirror. I go in seeking healing, joy and wonder and that’s what I emerge with. Every time!! And that always boils down to an open heart and a love for life and ALL humanity.
So Here is my invitation. You can join me on this journey or not – that’s your choice. There are no wrong answers in your life because its your life. I often say when you’ve experienced trama, it sometimes feels like all the boats out of hell are single seaters. I definitely needed healing partners by my shoulder, but no one is going to do the work for me.
It’s a very, very personal healing journey that only you can take. And likewise, the journey to reconnecting with your open heart and rekindling that sense of joy and wonder is a single seater too – and if sharing a cool photo of what you see in nature helps your journey and helps channel inner love and connection to whatever you call the Universe – than by all means – join me on this river! Even in single seater boats we can be one heck of a community. #WonderBender #MyPeople #ThisRiver
