Non-Profits and causes that I love and support:
FreeRice.com - Give free rice to hungry people by playing a simple word game.
Kiva.org - Loans that change lives ... Kiva is a grassroots project started by a team with a big idea: one-to-one, real-time lending on the internet to alleviate poverty. Kiva allows individuals to make $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). By doing so, individuals like you provide affordable working capital for the poor (money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc.), empowering them to earn their way out of poverty. It's a new, direct and sustainable way to fight global poverty, and the way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a future than the interest my checking account pays.
Make It Right 9 - Brad Pitt helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Take a catastrophe that is New Orleans, make it beautifully efficient, and you will have a miracle that'll be remembered for a long time to come. If this project doesn't exhibit the power of celebrity, I don't know what does.
GreenCross.org - Oklahoma City 1995, New York 2001, Katrina 2005, Sri Lanka 2005. Every traumatic event--from large disasters to a small, but powerful critical incident--can be transformed from stumbling block distress into a stepping stone of resilence. To learn what works in helping both the traumatized and those who help the traumatized, visit this website today.
CodePink - Is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities. We reject the Bush administration's fear-based politics that justify violence, and instead call for policies based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international law.
Christian Children's Fund - Improving the lives of children.
FriendsofEricVolz.com - A political prisoner who was held illegally against Nicaraguan Appellate Court orders. (read recent news from Dateline)

“Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.” W. Clement Stone
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a human journey. A true visionary -- is only an instrument.
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I shall refresh you" - Matthew 11:28
Faith is ... Being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." Prince Gautama (Buddha) Siddharta
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Personal Note:
At the end of our lives we will not remember how much money we made, how many ball games we watched, or how many things we possessed. What will come back to us in a brilliant and blinding light will be ... the quality of the relationships we formed with those we loved; our family, our partners, our children and our friends ...
I am a believer of truth, whatever one may deem that to be. Each person has their own truth and it is this truth, that guides their actions. Searching for truth is more than a matter of faith. It requires a unique blend of genuine tolerance with cogent reasoning and intellectual honesty.
There are as many different pathways as there are people on this Earth. We all know intuitively that there is more to life than whatever limited reality we now experience. We long to awaken to the depths of who we are and what life could be. Whatever temporary yearnings may preoccupy us - for less pain and more joy, for a fulfilling relationship or for meaningful work there is something that calls to us from deep within. We want to know the truth about life and we want to feel love in our hearts.
My Pleasure
It has been my pleasure to accompany many unique, passionate individuals along the proverbial stepping-stones as they chose to follow their path. I have been fortunate to glimpse greatness, and have shared in moments of profound discovery and transformation. Being an active participant in raising the sails to the winds of change in the lives of others has served to deepen my conviction that we need only acceptance as our compass and desire as our map.
The way we view our life has much to do with the way we experience it. We have pre-conceived notions about how things are supposed to be, about how we should react and how others should respond, about whom we are supposed to be and what we are supposed to do. We lose ourselves amidst the day-to-day requirements and bury the small nagging feeling inside that something is missing beneath our ever growing “to do” list. We have dismissed our right to choose.
But, choose we must! I believe that the one thing we are given is the right to an absolutely joyful life – and we have the choice to either accept that joy, or deny it. Choosing to accept joy means living up to our own voice. To honor our heartfelt desires, to bring forth our talents, to look at whom we truly are as a gift to be given not only to ourselves, but also to those who share our lives - this is the beginning of a personal renaissance; a wondrous journey of discovery, and the path to a joyful life.
You choose to experience psychical life, so that you might again soar throughout the canyons of your soul. There is a place within you that senses something more. A place that does not fear, that does not doubt and that does not know limitation. A place that knows peace without struggle. A place which embraces without hesitation, surrenders without resistance. A place that does not grieve, does not regret and does not forget why you are here. This is the place of spirit. This is the place spirit speaks to you from within your heart. This is the place spirit resides and where I am honored to mediate on your behalf.
Maybe we sense there is something more because there is a part of us which knows something more. Maybe in seeking the confirmation of spirit we're finding confirmation of spirit. Maybe we sense a deeper part of ourselves which understands and loves the journey of the "individual" in order to fully express the journey of the "indivisible". Maybe we seek definition because we harbor within us a memory of Limitlessness. We are drawn by Spirit even in resisting it, in doubting it, in denying it, in trying to prove and disprove it - we are dancing with it. Maybe that is the point.
Knowing that our spirit play's an incredibly important role in our life's experiences this website exists to honor, support, and celebrate the process of each persons own inner knowing; that innate intelligence that guides and governs all from within. One dream and the belief that it can be done. One spirit creating and accomplishing. I believe that life is meant to be a sacred and joyous event which deserves to be honored and respected in a loving, compassionate way. I am dedicated to helping create safe gentle connected healing experiences. I consider my work to be a seed to remembering the perfection which is within.
I take great pride, action, and care in the services I provide. All that I do has practical application and displays respect for the individual. I strive to support and enhance their relationship with themselves, in a gentle, loving way.
I believe that life is the most precious gift that exist in the world and that the future of our world depends on our spirit's being strong, courageous, happy and at peace. I desire to make our world a better place, together we can make a difference.
Consultations With Me
I believe that all have the power within to make the choices to pursue the
path in life they wish. Each of us must walk our own path (not that dictated by
another) to fulfill our soul's desire. This part of my guidance is geared on finding
YOUR path and tools you have brought in with you for this lifetime.
Consultations with me are designed to support you on your journey to release the wounds, heal the past, and embrace the future. I am honored to help support, and celebrate the process of each persons own inner knowing, that innate intelligence that guides and governs all from within.
Consultations are also designed to bring forth your unique inner capacity to create positive outward strategies and action and to address physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life challenges. To stop the self sabotage, identify and break through negative emotions and limiting decisions, enhance your effectiveness, and take an active role in directing your life changes and healing.
Transformational consultations assist individuals in creating, accomplishing and remembering the perfection which is within. Tune into your own inner guidance and deepen your self awareness. Make your desired, positive, lasting changes beginning today. I honor your process and respect your Journey. You can begin your own journey and answer the call of your own voice. A remarkable person is waiting to be discovered, explored and enjoyed!
My purpose is not to take your power away from you, each of us require
assistance from time to time in clearing up a "cloud" around a situation,
however; my goal is to assist YOU in finding the center of YOU the place within
where all true answers are found whereby; we find our true empowerment.
My Philosophy
Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief, or ignorance.
When you find the eyes behind your eyes and learn to awaken your body's higher perception, you open up a new way of seeing and being. When you learn to reach through and beyond your physical body, you discover that you are never without support and guidance and that ultimately you can experience a new and expanded way to be alive. Well-nurtured dreams become goals, and well-nurtured goals become achievements.
I seek to understand rather than to be understood. We have our own answers to life's essential questions within us. Listening,
attuning, and honoring the inner voice will guide you to learn lessons on your
life path. In addition, we all possess the personal power to make those answers,
visions, dreams, inner wisdom, and goals become reality. Life is an informal
school in which we will either learn our lessons, or resist them until we are
ready to finally embrace them. We are all here to learn, to grow, and to help
each other.
My goal is to enlighten, and empower others through awareness, understanding and
education. In partnership with Divine Guidance, I strive to be The Pathway that
spans the gap between Belief and Knowing. My mission is to be a celebration of
healing for body, mind and spirit. My purpose is putting you in touch with
yours.
Your success and happiness are important to me and I look forward to helping you live up to your incredible potential!
He will give His Angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways"
-Psalm 91:11
