Over the years I have dreamt of creating certain things, now closer to the possibility of making it happen, I am looking at the collective picture to make happen.

I believe if we bring the business world and the wellness world together in ethical, dignified, respectful, and enlightened collaboration, we would unit the good vibrations this world needs to move forward into global well-being productivity. 

Back in 2001 when I started The Art of Positive Living, I desired a large old house that would provide holistic services for those willing to embrace a new path to wellness. In this house were an aromatherapy room, a massage room, a yoga room, an acupuncture room, an intuitive room, an inferred sauna room, a child care room for parents, a social guidance therapy room, and a juice bar with healthy snacks room.

It would have been members only and would have allowed 20% of its participant’s free to allow access to people like Mums, Dads, caregivers, and the homeless who need it and can’t afford it.

A dream not yet realized but still obtainable.

I also dreamt of a community where holistic, alternative lifestylers and practitioners would live and work. Not a hippie commune but a professional healing arena and training ground for people to come to in order to heal and healers to learn how to heal and grow their own businesses.

I achieved that in a different way through Self Discovery Media and Orchard of Wisdom where we have set the stage of abundant wisdom to illuminate, guide, and support people on their life’s journey.

Having now perswonally interviewed over 2800+ people who are doing great things for people in the world, I know the one thing lacking is a PLACE for like souled, minded and spirited people to come and embrace their like collaborators and expand on their personal gifts.

I have over the last 10 years, built a platform with an abundance of wisdom, skills, knowledge, and passion that will enable others to grow into their own abundance. In each show, each person interviewed is the inspiration that invites us to know that we can become the person we hope to be if we are willing to invest time, love, and energy into our own processes in life.

My philosophy is always to seed others in their own productive possibilities, which in turn helps mankind grow by building stronger communities. A portion of the overall proceeds from our pod books, shows, Mentors, Practitioners, plus, goes back into the community giving opportunities to those who need care guidance, and hope whose budget does not allow for it. This is my Fund-Action Program that will be ignited this year.

Self Discovery Media has led me to some extraordinary people doing wonderful things for the people and the planet, and as a possibility seer, I see lots of cohesive collaborations with many. BUT, if they do not see it or feel it, or do not wish to pursue it, then it is a no-go.

So I keep my fishing rod out there, always looking for those collaborations, those potential co/ventures, sponsors, and soul alignments that could propel any of us forward into that bigger picture.

Globally we are each doing our own thing, but by weaving our thread together we can have a blanket of hope, possibilities, actions and production with a solid foundation to grow and unit on.

I have asked the universe to send me such innovative active souls who share a similar vision so we may start building a foundation in which to build all those possibilities.

So far I have people who see the bigger picture and share a desire, and people who could build it, and many of those who will use it. Now like a good piece of music, we need to bring it together in harmony and produce a musical piece that inspires illuminates and invites all those who are ready to take action in building a better life for themselves and a stronger world for us all to live in.

Here I go, leap of faith, for I believe in my meaningful purpose and the journey it took to get here. I am ready to make this vision a reality, I am open to partnerships with those who share the dream and step forth in action, I am in joy to know that this will build a safe haven for all those who wish to embrace their soul, heart, spirit freedom and become part of the solution to the world’s problems.

It all starts with us, within us and because of us, let this be the platform that unites us all in unity and dignity and meaningful global purpose.

I wrote this last year, but know someone somewhere is going through it now.

It has been a struggle in the last few days with that big D-word again, I try to ignore it, but it keeps tapping me on my shoulder. Why it is here I do not know, I work hard I believe in what I am doing, and I support people’s journies, but still, the big D sits on me now and again.

Will I ever be free of it? will I ever find my independence and value in life, or is this my journey forever? If it is, I do not complain, for as long as people need the wisdom from others’ achievements from the struggles, and life tools, I am here to celebrate them. But still, that big D sits on me bringing me down, slowing me down, telling me that this is all there is and to be of service to others is my purpose. I embrace that, I love that, but sometimes I feel that is all I am, just a service to others and not to myself. Yes, it is the big D talking, but its voice is loud and clear and at times drowns all hope out.

Maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe the big D will be gone, I will continue on for what else is there, I will not let it beat me, but strive to find joy somewhere somehow and feel it override the big D.

Although I wrote this in 2020, the big D knocks at my door from time to time. I have found ways to keep it at bay, but please never apologize for this thing called depression, for it can hit anyone of us and even at times cripple us, for a while. We can come back from it, I have time and time again and always will.

Here are some shows on Mental Health Awareness.

Mental health awareness and challenges are not one size fits all, once we understand from where it comes, understanding our mental health, and what triggers stress, anxiety, depression, and more, we are more empowered to face it and either live with it more cohesively or overcome it completely.

How does that help the world? It uplifts us into a higher vibration of compassion, kindness, abilities, and love. When we choose to embrace the possible and stand up taller in our own lives, we are inspiring others around us to do the same. Good vibrations are in the joy of living a meaningful purposeful and in service of others’ life that truly enriches everyone. 

Life has meaning when you step into love, inner love, and a love of life. So many have had major challenges in living in a life of love or even trust, and we aim to help them find that inner love and to understand just how awesome they really are. Life is happening for us, even in the unpleasant times, but when we choose to leave behind the pain suffering, and anguish, we discover that life has so much joy and love to share with us.

The incredible people that Self Discovery Orchard of Wisdom brings each week in our shows, are here to help those on a journey of self-discovery and who wish to have help in navigating that life’s journey. 

Their illumination comes from the fact they have faced their fear, their obstacles and have been willing to go through the process of healing. Now in that state of beingness, they are guiding others on the same journey with the skills and tools they learned along the way so that we all can step into a life of meaningful service of love and light. 

By supporting us, you are supporting them and in turn supporting our Fund-Action program, which subsidizes those who need a helping hand in their own self-discovery. I invite you to look at our Fund-Action program to see how it works. 

Your monthly subscription helps us keep going with these shows, and the Podcast-Books helps us bring this book to you that will help our children. 

Thank you for all your support and encouragement.
