I am very young, and very old. I thrill in the human condition.  Hope. Redemption. Many, many mistakes. Bright joys. Brief passions. And the kind of personal discovery that grabs you and shakes you until your teeth rattle with Truth and your eyes pour relief, and your knees buckle willingly to the floor, completely ready to let go.

Like the Phoenix, I have repeated Burning Days, and repeated new birth from ashes, and I love it all. I think the best lesson I have learned is that life is messy, exhilarating, painful, sweet, frustrating, amazing - and it is all just as it should be. For too long I tried to avoid the Burning Days that come with being human, and the more I avoided, the slower and more tortuous the burn when it finally came.

That is the burden of the Sleeping Phoenix - denying its nature, afraid of the burn, unable to comprehend the joy of the new life on the other side. A true Phoenix chooses the burn, walks into the fire with her head held high, ready to be cleansed of mistakes and impurities, and walks out a new woman, forged with balance and strength and wisdom, ready to begin her next cycle with a firm step and a bright sparkle in her eyes.

Oh, yes, I am an environmental lobbyist in the capital of NYS. I am an Advanced Reiki Practitioner, CEO of a holistic health marketing company, and successful mother of two.
