“We don’t stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.”
-George Bernard Shaw
Each time I’m told to write a bio, or a “journey” story, I find the moment that got me to where I am keeps moving further and further back in my life. In my current location I run a small yoga space, where the majority of my income comes from one on one energy, Reiki, sessions. When I established there, my bio babbled on about my health crises, and the loss of my dad. Despite his drinking and gambling, I declare myself a daddy’s girl, and this “woke me”, hence the start of my journey to who I am today. What a bunch of cut and paste, bullshit!
If you don’t believe every single thing that happens to you is part of a big plan set up for your best life, I challenge you to keep reading. Every detail was arranged, right down to your parents. My “bullshit” first bio is true, and taught me a lot. However, the journey never started five days before my 34th birthday nor was it when I started my experience with kidney failure, or a few weeks before my 24th birthday with the death of my dad. It started long before I took my first breath, possibly life times before I was even conceived. And since that unknown time, so many adventures have build to this point. Where I am writing a book asking you to trust your intuition. You are part of something bigger than you could even imagine.
The idea of an Indigo is not something new. In the 70’s professionals, and weirdos hippy types started to notice there was a change in kids. A growing percentage of children being born had more energy, lower attention spans, higher IQ, lower school score despite their IQ, and were more defiant. Doctors medicated many of these kids, to make it easier for adults to rule over them and gave them labels like ADHD, ADD, LD, among others. The statistics show that the number of kids being prescribed pills has steadily increased over the years. Now more than half of our children under 12, are on some sedative to control behaviour. I also found it interesting that I also personally noticed a growing number of people my age (30’s & 40’s) being diagnosed with ADHD, and willingly being medicated. Most of which have less squirrelly brains than mine prior to choosing to be medicated. I love my squirrels, they are part of who I am. When you do a coffee with me, I’ve already switched to decaf, the conversation does a full circle of topics. If you suspect you have ADHD, or have been diagnosed with a behavioural problem I recommend you look for more information on the topic of Indigos. Any of the books written by Lee Carroll & Jan Tober on the topic of “The Indigo Children”,. They include accounts from teachers, M.D.’s, and psychologists, in addition to energy workers on the misdiagnoses of Indigos, and medication that will do more harm than good. They do recognize that not every behaviour diagnoses is due to someone being Indigo, or every Indigo will have behaviour problems. I give credit to my parents having more kids then they could keep track of. Its probably why I slipped through the medical system. While many times I have wished for better focus, I have learned to love my messy mind, and appreciate its ability to change channels if I don’t like the show.

that teaches you a lot about the destination.”
