Who am I?
The simple prairies of wind and wheat ushered me into this life.
I found myself displaced in my conservative North Dakota upbringing. The culture, racism, and harsh weather never felt like my home. Yet, something guided me into belonging. That something cannot be named as one thing, but as a web of many karmic threads that I revere as the Great Mystery. This belonging has been the journey we are all on and face whether we are conscious of it or not. It is the journey of coming home. This homecoming is not a physical place but a feeling that wherever we find ourselves there is comfort, confidence, and wholeness. I'm pleasantly surprised to say I am reclaiming my belonging. May this belonging ripple out and gift each life it encounters with healing, empowerment, and connection.
