Greetings, fellow earth-traveling soul. It is an honour to meet you here. ๐๐ป๐ ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Love is love. ๐ I've been to hell and back a few times during this lifetime, and it has taught me the way to heaven on earth โ just go in the opposite direction! ๐๐คฃ ๐น โIt is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.โ ~ Rabindranath Tagore After failing spectacularly at finding love outside myself (๐), I embarked on the journey of a lifetime to rediscover it where it had always been โ within me (๐). ๐น โSomething we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves." ~ Robert Frost ๐น โBe yourself; everyone else is already taken.โ ~ Oscar Wilde ๐น โTo love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.โ ~ Oscar Wilde ๐น โEnter into yourself, then, and see that your soul loves itself fervently...โ ~ Saint Bonaventure ๐น "One must find the source within one's own Self, one must possess it. Everything else was seeking โ a detour, an error." ~ Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse ๐น โWe are waves of the same sea, leaves of the same tree, flowers of the same garden.โ ~ Seneca (Iโve lived so many stories I canโt believe they all happened in one lifetime. ๐ And sometimes I wonder who they really happened to. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ) After many years of structured living in the corporate world on two continents, followed by nine years ๐ farming in Quebec, I am currently walking a formless path of spontaneous service and humour โ with lots of surprising pauses along the way! ๐คฃ โข Passionately curious ๐ค โข Sees beauty ๐ โข Chronically optimistic ๐ โข Lifelong learner/discoverer ๐บ โข Cultivating expansiveness and emptiness ๐ Superpowers: โข Love ๐ (by grace) โข Gratitude (by choice) โข ADHD (filters? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ) โข talking with โstrangersโ ๐ โข connecting the dots โก๏ธโขโฌ ๏ธ Now: intuition, nature ๐ณ, photography, writing, wisdom, spirituality, Gene Keys aficionado ๐งฌ, devotional chanting ๐ถ, soul contracts ๐, Akashic records ๐, meditation / contemplation ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Then: ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป international IT management (early coder), travel, dairy farming ๐ (learned enough that I would not do it again), purebred dog breeding ๐ Still: telepathic animal communication which continues to expand into all life.
