I am.
My two favorite words in the entire English language.
I am.
I am an artist and a writer.
I am a seeker of magical things.
I am a story-teller, a dreamer, a spiritualist, a magic-maker and an intuitive.
I am a healer who is healing.
I am a teacher who is teaching.
I am human who is be-ing.
I am a perpetual and very grateful work in progress.
I am blessed and broken and evolving and shrinking and expanding and one hundred percent committed to the whole mystical, magical thing!
I am.
Until recently, I had an insatiable need to rattle off my life's story in order to validate who I am. I've spent what feels like a lifetime in search of Shamans, healers and therapists who could help me to hold a bright light up to the darkest details of my life so that I could not only begin to heal, but also to share my experiences with my clients and make sure you know that we are not so different.
Trauma? Oh I've got trauma...so much trauma. How much time do you have?
My mother didn't like me...and she loved to tell me that nobody else liked me either.
My father ruined my family and nearly destroyed me too...
Your parents were pathological liars? Oh honey...have I got a history for you!
Your marriage is a mess, your job is less than perfect, you are un-satisfied, unhappy, lost? I get it! I have landed on my knees more times than I care to count; praying that I had finally hit rock bottom.
Does it feel like you seek and you search and you just can't find the answers to make it all better?
Me too.
It was exhausting to constantly be recalling and sharing the events of my life almost as if it gave me some sort of credentials or awful trauma-club membership.
Then I woke up one day and realized that I wasn't actually sharing all those stories for you. I was doing it for me. I was secretly defending who I am by giving you my back-story with the hope that maybe if you knew how bad it was for me, you wouldn't judge me so harshly.
Or maybe if I kept hearing the sadness of my own words, I wouldn't judge myself.
It wasn't working.
Truth be told, I wrapped the whole history of my life around me like some sort of shadowy cape that kept me from ever needing to step fully into who I am.
I didn't understand until very recently just how much repeating my history had actually become my NOW-story. I was like a hamster on a wheel and I really began to understand how this constant emotional groundhog day was ruling my life.
So I made a decision and I keep trying to make that same decision every day...
I want to live a different story now.
I don't want to keep talking about all the bad things that happened, instead I want to focus on cultivating more good.
Get me off the darned hamster wheel!
I'm working on it.
They don't call it WORK for nothing.
I'm digging through every one of those life experiences, putting them into a big, beautiful, frayed and really flawed basket. One by one I sort through them, shake them out and see how I might actually utilize them for something heart-healing.
I'm literally on a mission to take the greatest of my burdens and alchemize them into soul-shifting, light-activating medicine...as often as possible.
And every day I try to remember that it is always possible.
Here at my studio in Union Pier Michigan, I am finally exploring what I want to contribute with intention to this adventure, what that means for me and how I might help you.
This past year I decided to really focus my energy on one-on-one Magical Mentoring sessions and spreading the magic of Mojo Bags and creativity and glitter... so much glitter....far and wide!
Yes, but what do you actually DO Heather?
If we were to share space together you would learn that I've been consulting the same Tarot Deck since I was in 6th grade...we have a deep and committed relationship now. That insight along with an endless yearning to connect with God while also understanding the divine origin of you and I lead me to spend the last 25 years or so studying and working with Kabbalah, the Hebrew Alef-Bes, psychology, energy work, astrology, numerology and the world of herbs, flowers and organic elements as energetic allies.
I'm fifty four years old and my journey into the world of healing and spirituality began when I was in my twenties.
I'd say I have a few years of study and practice under my belt.
I'm also doing the work every single day to stitch myself back together slowly and intentionally. It took me a minute but I can now tell you with zero uncertainly that the greatest real magic I have ever known was born in the cracks, the shadows and all the delicious and soul-expanding imperfections where we last expected them to be.
I believe that you and me and everything in creation is woven of magic and moondust, love and intention and the most incredible divine possibility. I believe that we are an answer to a Divine prayer and our job for as long as we are here is just to figure out how to be fully present, grow, learn, share, break, heal and enjoy this entire holy process called LIFE.
You and I are sparks of the Divine and one of my greatest joys in my work with clients is to help you remember that truth and set it free.
I love to imagine that God is just giggling, crying, laughing and applauding every time we lean into the perfection of who we are.
I imagine the ONE that created the ALL watching over us, beaming with pride and saying to Himself..."man oh man...would you look at that? I DID THAT and WOW...they are, each and every one of them, my greatest work and I could not be prouder!"
The magic is real.
The possibility woven into each day is divinely inspired.
The best part of the whole story is that we get to write our own version of what comes next.
It is a choice.
Life is a hands-on, participation required experience.
Every single day.
May your on-going, happily-ever-after exceed what you ever dreamed could be possible.
Thank you for being here at this time, on this journey with me.
Thank you for saying YES!
It is my greatest honor to share this holy, sacred, magical space with you and I cant wait to see what we do next!
I look forward to working with you soon!
Wishing you love and magic,
Heather
