Hi, I'm Michele. 

 

I’m really happy that you’re here.  I'm always so excited to make new soul connections and if you're here, on my About Me page, you were likely divinely guided here and we were meant to connect.  That's usually the way it works, anyway.

​

Maybe, like me, you are on a spiritual journey, experiencing all of the highs and lows that come from that.

​

It can be thoroughly exhausting, right?  Some days you feel like you're on top of the world, like you've made it through, and others you feel lower than you ever have before, even when things were unbearably hard, before your spiritual awakening.

​

Being on a spiritual journey can feel isolating.  Chances are you feel like an outcast.  You probably feel like you don't fit in with those around you, especially those closest to you, like your family.  This can make you feel incredibly lonely, and that's hard.  You've probably questioned yourself a million times, wondering what in the world is happening to you and why.  I imagine you've also questioned God, too.  At least I know I have.

​

I've been through the highs and lows.  I've experienced multiple dark nights of the soul, including one that I thought would end me. 

​

I have experienced the crippling loneliness that seems to attach itself to spiritual growth.  I have experienced the grief of losing people, not to death, but because I was spiritually evolving and they were not.

​

It's messy and difficult but it's also worth it, because...

​

I have also met some of the most wonderful human beings on the planet.  People with whom I seem to fit.  People whom I've never met face-to-face but would consider a soulmate.

​

I've learned to appreciate and value myself.  I've learned to shrug off labels, people-pleasing, and perfectionism.  I've felt aligned, connected, and inspired by my connection to Spirit and my soul.

​

I've stopped trying to fit inside the box created for me, the one I lived in for years and years.

​

I have made hard choices that were right for me.  I have stepped far outside of my comfort zone, proving to myself just how strong I am.  I have activated the power I have always held within but didn't know was there.  

​

I have healed from heartache. I have healed from things I shouldn't have had to, such as childhood sexual assault, and things that I used to cope with the trauma, like alcohol addiction.  

​

I have discovered the essence of me and I get to make choices based on that alone.  It feels freeing.

​

I didn't do it alone.  I've had so much help along that way and now I desire to be that support for others.

​

Maybe we should connect?

Some fun facts about me...

​

• I was initially raised (for the first two years of my life) in rural (I mean, rural) Sugar Grove, WV.  The current population is under 700.  I visited there with my mother a few years back.  Everything about that place spoke directly to my soul.  The wide-open spaces.  The peaceful landscape.  Nature all around.  It's no wonder they call it God's Country.  Someday I may find myself living there again. 

• My spiritual practices are fluid, as I believe they should be.

• I swear a lot.  There's nothing like a good curse word to release some pent-up energy.

• I am a mom of two humans and 3 fur babies, who are rescues.  

• I go big.  When I dive in, it is right into the deep end.  No toe-dipping for me.  With that said, I often jump out before too long and jump into the next thing, however, everything always comes back around again.  I have an insatiable appetite for learning new things and I love the way everything comes together.  

• The woods and my bathtub are my happy places.  They give my mind space to breathe.

• I am a Gemini sun, Gemini rising, and Scorpio moon.

• Sometimes I feel like I'm two different people stuffed into one body(Gemini!).  There is the practical, objective, pragmatic person and then there is the woo-woo, gypsy soul, witchy woman.  The second one is way more fun!
