" My purpose in life is to guide folks through their awakening journey, To empower that inner light and innate wisdom in all of us. We need as many folks as possible to heal this Earth and our communities and stop hatred and abuse. The more we live authentically, the more we can all laugh, play, and heal daily." Misted Forest
