Your community. I was sitting quietly one day while my daughter was napping and it occured to me that I'm surrounded by and connected to some amazing folks who are out there in the world doing amazing things. Some, I've had the priveledge of working with, others I just know and support through friendship and community work. I got a flash that I needed to share what these folks are doing with everyone I know. The list is growing and you can check back as this resource page grows.
Here are some great resources, amazing vendors, gifted healers and talented artists and that you'll call upon them to help you on your journey. {If you want to list here, email me. I'm happy to put you on the list!}
