Follow my shamanic initiation through the journal of the journey I took in 2002 – my personal spiritual pilgrimage or walkabout (in my car in the U.S.A.) which had me homeless, on the road for 6 months traveling where spirit took me and staying most of the time with people I’d never met. I had no idea at the time that it was also my shamanic initiation. I kept an online journal at the time to allow those who had put me up along the way follow the rest of my journey. This is that journal. Step outside of your expectations of sweat lodges (I was invited, but I didn’t go), fire walks, and fire circles (I went to these, but they weren’t the turning points) to see what a real shamanic initiation looks like. Discover the actual turning points, the ways in which I was guided by my spirit guides along the way, discover with me what it takes to trust the universe. My journey can be yours if you follow along.
I’ve got about two minutes before my class starts, so this is going to be quick. I’m doing well in the new job, very busy and stressed though. Must have been crazy to run a job fair the first day out, all I’ve been doing ever since is playing catch-up trying to create systems and …

I am sitting here listening to the results of some improvisational recordings that Daniel, and Katje and i did just an hour or so ago. Some of them are quite good. Others so-so. But the whole of it is a very good feeling. I am finding ways to be creative and to keep those juices …
The job is still going well. One of my recruits has put a house under contract, so I should see my first commission in mid May – yay! Earlier than expected. Also, I met with Larry (Josie’s friend) and the place is cool, he and I get along and have the whole shaman thing in common, …
Sorry I haven’t written in a while, but I’ve been really busy trying to get settled into the new job and get used to the hour and a half commute. Add to this the painting of the house (see pics below) and the party prep and there’s been very little time to write. I’m trying to …
Walkabout 2002 – New Job, Projects, and Living Quarters? Read More »
Started my new job yesterday and I am already loving it. I spent the entire day at a job fair recruiting new agents. I realized exactly how much life coaching I’m going to get to do in this position. It’s just what I wanted to be doing, and it’s in an industry I know by …
So, while the country stands on the brink of war, I start out on the day that marks the end of the old life and the beginning of the new. This morning, I finish up at Tony’s, then head off to teach classes at Foxboro Middle School, and then I head in to speak to …
It’s way too early in the morning and I’m hungry. Groooowwwwlll goes the tummy. A little blurry eyed and still wondering what my schedule will be for the end of the week. Nothing like having one life end on Wednesday morning and the new one start in the afternoon with no clear plans past 2:30pm. …
Many people come to me with examples of the power struggles that take place in their lives on a daily basis. They want me to give them some tools to get in control of these situations. The problem is that there are no tools to get in control here. That is because the source of …
This weekend was really exhausting for me. I spent Saturday evening with Sam doing a grief healing for her as part of the finalizing of her divorce. Ken and Tra were there and I felt the growing rift between us. It is sad to see one’s friends drift away. I had to deal with the …
Seems I was not meant to get to sleep in today, my only day off from work this week. Two of my friends, both of whom I thought would know better about me by now, called before 8:30am. The first one I managed to ignore, the second, coming so close on the heels of the …
