choosing to live a life of gratitude is why i  do what i do. 

 i do the things i do, not because of what i might get out of them, but because they are the things that feel right in my heart. i do not love with expectation that others will love in return and i do not give of myself in the hopes of getting something back. i simply do what i do because that is who i am, regardless of anyone or anything outside of me, this is my most authentic spirit.  

i believe that we all have the right to choose how we wish to experience this life, and gratitude is my choice. i choose to be grateful for all of the life that i am blessed to experience in this world. 

 i do what i do because i am eternally grateful for the traumatic trek through the vast mountain ranges i have had to conquer in my lifetime, and even more so for the serenity that i have since found from learning to choose life's valleys of surrender as well. 

i am not registered with the state of pennsylvania, and do not claim to be a doctor. i am but a self-made medicine woman who, as in many shamanic traditions, can only assist in shining a light on the path which appears before you. the path is yours alone to travel, one of great healing and free will.
