here are a few of my spiritual experiences on my journey
walking meditation
For over a decade, I have embraced walking as a sacred practice, finding profound clarity through meditation and the healing vibrations of nature. Fearful of driving, I relied on walking to nearby places for shopping and errands, and it became my favorite form of exercise. This daily ritual deepened my connection to nature, allowing me to hear the whispers of my spirit more clearly.
During my walks, I often encountered feathers, which I began to collect. These feathers symbolized my journey from a lower frequency to a higher one, representing my personal growth and spiritual ascent. As I walked, I meditated on my progress, grounding myself further into the essence of who I am.
Today, walking remains a cherished practice for me, and I continue to collect feathers and other treasures that nature offers, each one a reminder of my ongoing journey towards self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment.
meditation
Meditation has been a transformative journey for me, one that I integrate into my daily life. Throughout the day, I take moments to meditate, allowing my mind and body to spiritually align with the present. This practice brings a profound sense of harmony and balance, enhancing my overall well-being.
For me, meditation is more than a practice; it’s a way of life. By allowing my spirit to guide me to the right moments for meditation, I experience a deeper sense of peace and clarity. This ongoing journey continues to enrich my life, providing me with the tools to navigate each day with mindfulness and grace.
conscious eating
Born and raised in the vibrant culinary landscape of New Orleans, Louisiana, my journey as a foodie began under the nurturing care of my maternal line. As a child, I savored a variety of flavors and dishes, but as I grew older, health concerns led me to reevaluate my diet. Pork was the first to go, marking the start of a series of dietary transformations. I’ve been a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and even a meat eater, but ultimately, I found my balance as an “eatatarian.”
Eatatarian (eat•a•tar•i•an): One whose diet is selective of the grade of food consumed; not limited by the type of food, but practiced in moderation. This definition, first coined by me, embodies my approach to eating with mindfulness and care.
Currently, I am channeling my culinary experiences and passion for food into creating a cookbook, sharing my unique journey and the flavorful wisdom I’ve gathered along the way.
reading
From a young age, I have been deeply devoted to Jesus Christ and intrigued by the deeper mysteries of life. Possessing mediumship and intuitive abilities, I struggled to reconcile these gifts with biblical teachings that often labeled them as demonic. Despite this, I knew in my heart that I was not evil. This internal conflict propelled me on a quest for deeper understanding.
As I grew older, my curiosity and need for clarity led me to immerse myself in reading and researching spiritual subjects. I explored a wide range of books, seeking knowledge and wisdom that could bridge the gap between my faith and my intuitive experiences. This journey of exploration has enriched my spiritual life, allowing me to embrace my gifts while remaining true to my devotion to Christ. Through my studies, I have found a harmonious path that honors both my spiritual heritage and my innate abilities.

prayer candles
My journey with prayer candles is filled with countless stories of answered prayers, each flame a testament to the power of faith and intention. Passionate about prayer, I find immense joy in crafting candles, merging my love for spirituality with this fulfilling hobby. Every candle I create carries a piece of my heart and a prayer, illuminating not only my path but also those who seek light and guidance. Through candle making, I channel my devotion, transforming wax and wick into vessels of hope and divine connection.
ancestral veneration
My journey towards practicing ancestral veneration began with a cherished memory of my maternal grandmother. When I was a teenager, she was on bed rest due to her ailment. One night, as I was preparing for a homecoming dance, she saw me and told me I was a star. She passed away weeks later, and those were the last words she spoke to me. This memory became a beacon of light during challenging times. As I grew older and embarked on my spiritual journey, I discovered the importance of connecting with past loved ones. Their memories hold profound messages, their stories and voices resonate within me. From their blood and flesh, I came, and I will always venerate them, keeping their spirits alive through my reverence and devotion. Breaking generational curses for the future of our bloodline.
ongoing psychic and mediumship development
From a young age, I was intuitive, sensing the emotions and thoughts of those around me. Born into a matriarchal family where many female relatives suppressed their abilities, I chose to break this generational curse by embracing my ancestral heritage.
Throughout my journey, I have experienced various manifestations of my psychic and mediumship abilities, receiving information in multiple forms. While my mediumship abilities often come and go, I am now dedicating myself to practices that will enhance my communication with the other side. As a generational curse breaker, I honor my lineage and strive to strengthen my intuitive gifts, forging a path of spiritual growth and deeper connection.
divination
From a young age, I was captivated by the mystical allure of tarot cards, inspired by watching Ms. Cleo infomercials as a little girl. My curiosity turned into a profound journey when, during my spiritual awakening in 2012, I purchased my first deck. Since then, I haven't stopped shuffling, delving deeper into the wisdom and guidance each card offers.
Reading tarot and oracle cards has become an integral part of my spiritual practice. Life, much like a deck of cards, deals us a unique hand, and through tarot, I find clarity, insight, and a connection to the divine. Each reading is a journey, a reflection of the path we walk, and a tool to navigate the complexities of life. Today, I continue to explore and share the profound messages the cards reveal, helping others uncover the hidden truths within their own lives.

shadow work
Shadow work has been a profound and transformative part of my spiritual journey. In the early years, I relied on methods and techniques widely available on the internet and in books, adapting and tweaking them to suit my personal needs. This process allowed me to confront and integrate the hidden aspects of myself, leading to greater self-awareness and healing.
As I delved deeper into shadow work, I began to receive divine inspiration and creative ways to address and heal my shadow. This deeper connection has enhanced my ability to navigate the complexities of my inner world, fostering a more harmonious and authentic self.
Shadow work involves exploring the unconscious parts of our psyche, often referred to as the "shadow," where we hide our repressed emotions, desires, and unresolved traumas. By bringing these aspects to light, we can achieve greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. For me, this journey has been one of profound insight and continuous evolution, guided by both traditional practices and intuitive inspiration.

energy work
Meditating one day, I received a profound vision: numerous tiny quartz crystal hands with light radiating from their palms and fingertips enveloped me in healing energy. This extraordinary experience was my spiritual initiation into the healing arts of reiki. Embracing this divine guidance, I became a certified reiki practitioner in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Now, I harness this sacred energy to guide others on their healing journeys.
