"Building A Cairn" Me at almost 50 in meditation with rock and sun and trees and water...in a moment of love with Life.

This week an article came out about me in a local paper.  Those of you who know me, know that I have assiduously avoided advertising in any way my channeling work, that for 20 years I have cringed at the idea of it. 

But I am about to turn 50.  As I looked at my life’s continuum, I asked myself what I want to do with the rest of this life, what do I want bring to this life and this sacred earth.  My answer was obvious: what I have always felt in my heart and soul and Being, what fills me with nourishing joy, my communion. 

I am fortunate that my communion has evolved over the years to take several forms:  I offer Our Friends through sessions, a sharing that brings me new friends with almost every new person and blesses me with the felt knowledge that Our Friends offer the deepest nourishment to the people who come.  

I create art, which also reflects my communion with and love for this earth and this life.  I write poetry.  I write memoir and creative vignettes.  I write pondering, musing, ideas, and considerations.  I write what the muse tells me to write, and I am blessed that the muse is clear and strong with me. 

Turning 50, I realized that what I want to do, and what my soul needs me to do, is to share fully and ardently my gifts.  This is my source of nourishment and joy; it opens me to love in the most profound and deepest ways.

So when I was asked to allow this article to be written, I was almost willing to consider it.  It took several tries and some negotiation, but in the end I agreed.  I agreed in part because the man writing the article is my beloved, and I trust him to get me right. 

I agreed because he understood my need to be transperant about who I am and how I come to this work, why it is important to me, and why it is essential to me to offer it with the deepest human honesty…without packaging or branding or the “right” bullet points or currently popular descriptors. 

Of all I have learned over the past 20 years, I have learned that one thing is absolute with a gift such as Our Friends.  My first and only real task is to live my life, and make my choices — to the best of my ability — to keep the path, the felt-sense of my communion, clear and pure in my life and Being. 

Since this article (which I will post here next week for your reading pleasure…) has come out, I have been blessed to meet some wonderful people, new friends: grounded, clear, loving people of sweet heart, whose intentions for growth are deep.

I am feeling very grateful for turning 50, for the clarity it has brought me, for “coming out” more fully in my work and in my life, for my beloved who presented me so honestly and clearly (and with humor!) in his writing, for those who have felt drawn to come for sessions. 

Life has been busy the past week.  Next week I will get back to writing and posting Our Friends material.  Until then…

May you be blessed with peace and clarity, with entering the mystery of the present moment…whatever it holds, knowing that whether beauty or pain, it is of the moment and possesses a gift to bestow.  May you feel safe to open to your own feelings, Being, presence, and moment.  Love, Stephanie
