Barbara lives in Washington and was ordained by American Marriage Ministries on August 6th, 2017.
Many years ago, at a crisis point in my life, I sought the help of a shaman to heal or transform what I believed was the end of of my life. I was sent on a vision quest to discover what was my purpose in life? After several weeks wandering alone through the forests of Western Washington with out any real answer to the question, I was willing to return humbeled that I had no clear idea of my true purpose. I am educated, well skilled in multiple fields, sucessful at most applications of self yet none of those things could be narrowed into a meaningful purpose of being. A day away from returning to face my teacher I spent the night on the western ridge of a little valley, forlone and somewhat ashamed that at fourty years old I could not define my purpose. Exhausted from both physical and emotional challanges I'd faced, I awoke the next morning as the sun warmed my soul with a sense of relief that I was Ok with not knowing the answer to the most important question one could ask of themselves. The sense of freedom that came from acceptance cleared the way for peace. As the sun rose higher it shown down onto the hilside and before my eyes I saw acres of wild flowers transform and great the morning with joyful color and appreation for a new day. It was a slow transformation into wonderous beauty. I was ecstatic with freedom joy and such grattude for my life to be able to have experience such a beautiful transformation of nature. It was in that moment I realized my purpose and that was; to Experience, Celebrate and Share in the Joy of Living With Every Breath. Thanky you Great Spirit for my life
