The Ride of My Life Podcast/Blog

While on the road heading back to Florida, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.

In this video, I am interviewing Ethan Vincent who owns Barefoot Gardens, a Camp/Homestead and Learning Center in Vilonia, AR. I stayed the night there on my way back to Florida and was given a tour around the Homestead. So many cool things going on from classes to chicken release to making stone jewelry among other things. I only stayed one night but I am looking forward to the next opportunity where I can stay longer. What a great family and place!

Love Offerings

What an incredible journey this is. Learning more and more about what faith is and how it works. I talk about my experience with my mother two years prior to her death and my road to forgiving her before that and since. That mother wound has been difficult for me but I am learning more and more about real unconditional love and self-love through it. I have been building on my faith for a long time now and I am finding these shifts in my experience from traumas throughout my life are so amazingly healing. Thanks for being here with me.

The journey continues...

Follow me as I share my Poem Talks, my musings, my Inner Peace Journey and through the healing work I find myself fully committed to as I learn about the truth of who I am, find new awarenesses about myself and life and share it with you in hopes that it will provide insight to your journey as well.

My Poem Talks means a lot to me and I share my deep dive into Self over the past year and a half. I reference the poems I wrote since 2021, and share how I was going deep into my healing work because I knew things needed to change in my life. I asked for the changes but it took the moment to moment experience of life for me to learn more about my truth and why I am here on this planet.

The most important thing I’m finding is the connection between my Self, my Higher Self and my Higher Power. From the truth, love, beauty, connection, joy and inner peace I find inside, I am readily available to share my gifts with the world.

Who am I really? I am a highly sensitive being and I am Love.  It hasn’t been easy and quite frankly, this time around in this life, my Soul chose many challenges to face so I could learn about compassion, love, peace and joy (my own first and then for others). I lived my life in a complete state of “not good enough” which fully reflected in my experiences, and when that is going on, knowing myself as compassion, love, peace and joy was confounding to me.

Life doesn’t always work out in the way we plan (and mostly that is a good thing) but for me, confronting the darkness of my life and what I was bringing into jobs, relationships and life in general, showed me that how I lived and the things I was taught throughout my life was not my truth of who I am.

In order to truly heal, I needed to walk through the grief, as painful as it was, forgive myself for not knowing better at the times I didn’t which my behavior showed, and to forgive others fully in order to find the love inside me... as I continue to discover this truth and ultimately inner peace.

I am still on the road, meeting some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.  

This interview came from a contact that was out of the blue and I am glad it came. The conversation was around trauma and how the mind and body deals with it and how we can heal from it. Find out how to work through when trauma comes us, how Interpersonal Hypnotherapy is done and how it can really help remove your blocks to the higher vibration. I share my experience and it really helped me to hear what Matthew had to share. "All roads lead back to the mind." What does that mean? Listen in...

This was an interesting test. I recorded this on both my phone and Zoom on my laptop (which I normally do). I was in a coffee shop and wanted to see what would be the easiest. So that didn't work out and I just did it the usual way. Anyway, I was going through coming over a hurdle about myself and my truth last year and I was digging into both my world and myself. Even now, at this time, I am in a space of getting ready to begin anew and I share what it was like then and now.

The past week has been all about Rebirth for me from my birthday on August 3rd through Sunday with an experience of connection and finding out that although I didn't feel as though I loved, that was a lie I told myself throughout my life. From the celebrations with my friends in Oklahoma, to the cake, to the painting parties, to the love, love, love received and given, I find I am blessed, loved and supported by many in my life. The icing on the cake was when I shared about my 40th High School Reunion, which I ended up not being able to attend, about how I felt as a teen in high school that contributed to what went on in my life. I connected anyway with so many people from that post, I was in awe. Thank you all for being in my life! I love you and I am so grateful.

I forgot to mention my eye, which I tried to “make up” for by putting makeup on the other eye, to match. It didn’t work out too well, you can still see the puffy. And… wait… you should see the other guy!

I am still on the road, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.

In this video, I decided to interview Gary and Debra on the work they are doing with turning pallets into artwork for your home. They made me a tray/headboard for the back of my car for when I sleep in it and as you can see, they are so artistic with their expression of love. A little more "bad hair day" and meshing the pronunciation of "mandala." Eh... to-ma-to or to-mah-to. Hahaha... anyway, just wanted to share my dear friends because of this and their generosity. Beautiful souls, they are.  In one of the shots is a kitchen they made for their grand-daughters which I neglected to mention. So cool!

My poem, On Being Nice is a recognition of truth for me and how I tried to keep people in my life, no matter how I was treated because I loved them. I didn't want them to leave because of my fear of being alone. I struggle through this for many years and realized that, as women, we are taught to put everyone else first. This completely diminished my sense of self to the point where I was lost and stuck. I share my thoughts of what being nice was for me. I also shared a couple of tools to help calm the nervous system - hands on heart and breathing and also bilateral stimulation through tapping on your shoulders. As well, I shared a book that really helped me out called, "The Good Girl Jail, When You Dare to Live from Your True Self" by Sandra Felt.

In this episode, I find that timing is everything. This poem happens to be about change and what better time to talk about it as a New Moon and during the process of travelling back to Florida. I continue to work through my healing process and being okay with theses changes. My life looks nothing like it ever has and I am grateful for it all.

I am still on the road, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.  

In this video, I am interviewing Lisa Chapman of Celestial Salt, LLC in Colorado Springs. She is the owner of this beautiful fusion of holistic healing, and metaphysical and her shop. When you open the door and walk into this beautiful and healing space, you find more than Salt Lamps. Its energy pulls you into comfort.  

Aside from the beautiful things she is selling, she also has readers, massage therapists, energy work and other healing modalities to include the Halotherapy. She also has a Community room for classes and Tai Chi, etc.   

Lisa is an amazing human being and I am grateful to have met her and spent time with her on this trip. So, stepping into my inner peace created outer experiences that I never thought I would... well... experience! I so love what is happening and I look forward to what this journey brings, one wing and a prayer at a time as I am guided on my way.  

Enjoy the self-inflicted technical difficulties I provided when I decided to turn the phone sideways to get both of us in the shot. Obviously, that didn't work very well!
