I am Divinity's Hummingbird.

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama. My mother moved us to Hollywood, CA when I was 2-years-old. I couldn't be more grateful to her for making that choice.

I grew up in Hollywood and have danced all over the world.  Fondest summertime memories include spending time in Alabama with my grandparents and family, and traveling with neighborhood friends to Mexico.  I lived in Germany for a few years when my sons were babies and am blessed to have traveled all over Europe.  I currently live in Bahia, Brazil.

There are so many stories that make up a life - so many stories that have made up this life - I never know where to begin … so I'll simply begin in the present moment.

I live 100% committed to growth, change, truth, love and doing my Divine Work in every moment.  I've made my choices - some that have served my own highest, best, most creative life …and others that have served as hard, painful lessons. I'm now at a place where I've demoted my ego from CEO to Janitor and it feels really healthy …vulnerable making at times, but healthy.  I feel I've done the best I could with the tools available to me in every moment and can now see that even the most painful choices were blessings in disguise.

My sons tell me I'm a bit of a “Spiritual Rogue” … I like it.  They also gave me the “barefoot diva” nickname … they are my greatest gift and my most joyous work.

I haven't danced professionally for a while, but I will always dance. I'm fortunate to have a wealth of beautiful, creative beings in my communities, so I get to sing and dance quite a bit with friends.

I'm a writer with short stories/poems published in the Gumbo For the Soul anthologies and two books I'm working toward having published.

Currently, I am creating a non-profit organization in Brazil.  It's called the Projeto de Habitação dos Desabrigados da Bahia (Bahia Homeless Housing Project) - phdb-br.org.  It will create “green” housing, educational and healthcare facilities for homeless people in Salvador, Bahia.  PHDB is a holistic non-profit that intends to help the community it serves by assisting them in creating better lives for themselves - learning skills that will help them get jobs, education, even practicing yoga if they'd like - so that their mindset changes from that of someone in chronically homeless survival mode to that of someone fully committed to living their best life.

I suppose that is my real work on the planet - living my best life …and helping others to live their best lives (whatever that means to them).

The Ocean once told me, “Breath, walk, live your truth and your love … simply be …and allow Divinity to move through you.  Be The Divine's miraculous hummingbird … fly even though it's said to be impossible, remembering in every moment that EVERYTHING is possible with Divinity.”

I am Divinity's Hummingbird.
