Zainab is a personal heroine of mine and I love that she honors Rumi every time she speaks....I'll meet you in the field.

Happy Birthday to my new blog. And Happy Birthday to my friend Shannon who is a beautiful light in this world. She is a mother, wife, sister, farmer, alchemist, dancer, teacher and priestess.
I have a passion for spreading light in the world and raising the vibration of everyone and everything around me. I am a natural teacher, although I refused to admit it at first. Surprising to me, I soon found I loved teaching very much. I am a Lightworker and I teach Kundalini Yoga and Awareness. Through my experience of awareness, I am finding that I am yearning to write. Again, what a surprise to me. Why is it that I don't see these things coming and then I go "Whoa, that's kinda cool. Yeah, I can handle that now". Maybe it would freak me out if I knew too much about what's ahead of me; or for that matter, what the heck I'm in the middle of. Honestly though, I don't always have such hesitation, many times I am so pleasantly surprised about my wonderful life (it's almost Christmas time:) but there are some big turns that just really take a leap of faith and I really don't see the change until I've made it. Thank goodness for my personal health anyway, that the changes have been more graceful in recent years. In the not too recent past I experienced major shake ups that were immensely traumatizing. And the only way to get through the trauma and not keep re-wounding myself and others was to find a thread of being PAINFULLY present with the terrible changing situation. And I mean terrible in every sense of the word, the experiences were often scary as all get out, and also huge lessons that seemed unfair to have to tackle.
Anyway, I get ahead of myself. For now I just wanted to say, "Yay! Happy Birthday"!
