Author of A Flower for God, writing the journey of my spiritual awakening has been a fulfilling part of my life for over twelve years, as I relived memories on paper that required my growth in between periods of writing. Its intended publication date is 2016.
My first experience with creative writing came with the adoption and birth of my daughters, where within family love I found inspiration to write poetry. That beginning grew to my appreciation of facilitating my own writing community, Longmeadow Writers & Artists, suggested by my writing mentor, Pat Schneider. I discovered I had rapport that sustained writers, both adults and children, and a crisp ability to design writing exercises.
My next enriching opportunity was as an ordained Alliance of Divine Love minister with an Emotional Health counseling practice at Seraphim Center in Gainesville. With individuals, as well as groups, I reflected back my different views of issues, catalyzing first time perceptions that took them into growth in new areas. My office was organized, riotous colors of creative objects used to find metaphors to explore difficulties from a new angle.
My foundation...Avatar Meher Baba who "devoted his life to awakening humanity to the reality of Divine Love. He declared himself to be the ancient one and God to be the real Self within everyone. His Universal Message begins with the words, 'I have come not to teach but to awaken.'"
My joy in 2012 was completing a Certified Life Coach course which has as an important principle that each person knows the perfect solution to their desired goals. I’ve found pleasure in learning better ways to listen, motivate and support through open questions so a person can uncover what changes in life matter and how to get them.
"Purely Prema" was envisioned by my daughter Megan four years ago, but I had to wait for my blog voice to appear. I thank my daughter as I look forward to the time I sit down to write my thoughts and feelings in short studies, from my world to yours.
