I was sixteen years old, on my way to graduating High School, and about to move to Ventura California to go to a private art school. Months prior I was walking into my first therapy session, with no focus or direction in sight.
I was practically born a teenager, by the time I was senior in High School I was already living an independent lifestyle. I came and went as I pleased, often taking day trips to the beach and the desert with my girlfriends. I had an afterschool gig, bagging and collecting carts at a local grocery store (about 40 minutes away), not to mention a full-blown social life.
I absolutely loved being a teenager! By the time it was the moment to move out and go to College, I felt like an adult. It was time to get clear on what it was I wanted my life to look and feel like in the future.
As I left my last therapy session, before making my way up the coast; I remember (so distinctly) having a conversation with myself. That one day I would come back to High School(s) and speak to this age group, speak to teenagers specifically (the years of my life, that had been so incredibly foundational).
A HUGE, THANK YOU and shoutout to Chawn Bracey and the motivatormusic.com family for not only orchestrating, but putting together this great “Introduction Video”!
This lifetime has often felt incredibly “beyond” me, as though it’s happening to me, for me and through me, beyond my control — as though destiny has had its own plan. I’m incredibly excited to play within the conscious awareness of co-creation, the present-future has to offer.
I’m just along for the ride, as much as anybody — here to share my view, with all of you (My BEAUTiFUL Galactic Family) !!!!
