"Aware Beginnings" Life brings many endings and many beginnings. Last year (2008) brought new beginnings and unexpected endings, making space in my life and opening the way for more new beginnings. A new carreer, begun in January, led to the closing of my private practice and the end of 4 other part-time ventures. So, when that new carreer ended in mid-July, I opened to the possibility that the way had been cleared for something entirely different. That has now been revealed and I am working on a novel. The central character is a pregnant teen in the foster care system. All of my previous experience seemed to feed into the "new carreer." I now know that only served the purpose of clearing the way for this new venture. This website now takes on new meaning. It is no longer intended to reach potential clients, but will be an exploration of possibilities that will be lived by the central character in a novel. The format of a novel was chosen to reach a broader audience than perhaps a non-fiction trestise on the issue of teen pregnancies in the foster care system might be able to reach. I will be posting new articles on the topic as my research continues.

Birth: The culmination of the journey that began as a single cell, activitated to build a complete body by the joining of sperm and ovum, and embedded with the template of your unique DNA, which interacts with the environment in the creation of "you." Birth is the transition from that first stage of life as an embodied being into the wider world outside the womb.

Energy: Birth brings with it breath and expansion of your possibilities as an embodied being. Attention to the flow of energy in your body is a key to your full experience of that life.

Dreams: Mindstuff and its many levels of experience began as dreams in the womb, long before you had words and thought. Nurturning your dreams and appreciating their wisdom brings awareness of other levels of experience to your mental life, and connection with timeless wisdom.

Sandplay: Mind Made Visible. Dreaming Awake. Creating scenes in a small sandtray opens windows to your soul. Spirit plays with the sand, water, and figures to create visible scenes depicting your growth at soul level.

Spirit: That which encompasses and nourishes all. You are both one with Spirit and an individual manifestation of Spirit. It is your deepest purpose to express and experience life to its fullest.
