In a world where you were pursuing your deepest, most heartfelt callings, what would you be doing?

Ministering to others as a healer.

What is the most important thing you have learned in your life?

That everything that we go through is a lesson and that from each lesson received through a positive or negative experience, we can either move forward on our path or we can remain wallowed in the memory of what we went through. I have learned that there is always the potential for happiness even when in the midst of what seems to be the worst pain you could encounter and I always work hard to see past the challenge of the pain in order to break through it.

Describe a belief that you previously held and then subsequently changed. What caused you to change your mind?

That I needed another to be whole. I'm perfectly whole with my Self or at least I'm getting there. Everything takes time.

Who do you admire most in the world (past and/or present) and why?

Jane Goodall...she did so much as a young woman in a time and place where what she did was unheard of for someone of her gender. She still, to this day, personally supports all of the causes that she has begun by traveling 300 days a years speaking out about her beliefs and what is happening in the world.

At this turbulent moment in history, what do you think is the most important thing a person can do to help humankind (and the rest of the planet) survive the many dangers that confront us?

It's all dependent upon who you are in this lifetime but if I had to pick one thing, I would say that it is to embrace all people that you come into contact with in order to create an environment of support within your community.

What are your answers to the big questions: Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we headed?

I don't know the answers to these questions but I've always been curious.

Why did you decide to join this community?

I decided to join this community because I met David Sunfellow on another networking site and his words resonated within me.
