About BareFootSoul ~ My Bio - UPDATED

1. Age 45, Mother to four adult children named; Deanna, Doug, Matt and Erica. They range in age from 24 to 18.

2. I've been married three times and of all the challenges I've had in my life it is by far been my most difficult.

3. I was raised Roman Catholic and wanted to be nun. I left the church and received the Holy Spirit at age 13. During that one time filling I received the gift of tongues, automatic writing, visions and I discovered that I had the gift of empathy from as young as I can remember. I no longer hold to one religion or faith. My greatest search at this time is in the spiritual realm and at times I am very lost. This I believe began when I started losing people close to me. The mystery of life and death is one each of us must resolve on our own. I enjoy listening to Abraham Hicks, Law of attraction and learning EFT. I also enjoy the bible still and learning from the Jesus Seminar. God is too big to be held in our own earthly boxes. I am a member of a group called, "Healing Humanity" in Yahoo. You will find no greater universal collage of faiths in one place. If you seek something moving deeper this is the place to be.

4. I envision my life much different than what it is. Most of this is due to my lack of health. I suffer with FMS, Immune dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue, Neck injuries, High bloodpressure (tachcardia), Rosecia not sure of the spelling (facial redness) and a rare form of arthritis called, Psoriatic Arthritis. Most of my symptoms are severe pain, depression, weakness, inability to wear most clothing, sleep disorder issues sleep all day or up for days, weight gain and I am an abuse survivor many times over. I am so far greater than what my mind and my body allows me to be and into this new year I seek to heal this and rise above. I feel best when I am near water and I believe it is because of a NDE I had in the bottom of a pool. Due to an addiction to Norco I have lost much of memory and ability to concentrate as well as remember things even short term. Even with all of this I have retained my humor, my love for life, children, simple things and humanity.

5. What do I love? The list would be endless. My fav colors are pink,purple,teal, black and white. I love ice cream can't stop eating it, chocolate, Italian food. My fav perfume is Opium and Secret 88 by Victoria Secret. My favorite all time is book is, "The Skook", My fav movie, "What Dreams Are Of Made Of", Fav shows are- American Idol, Thebigidea, reality shows, Animal planet. If you change the channel on the tv I will beg you stop because everything I see looks interesting. I am hard drive over ready to learn often taking in too much information at one time and then losing it all. Here is a small list in no particular order; Drawing,graphic arts,fine arts,jewelry making,arts and crafts,painting,watercolor (want to
learn),sewing,crochet,computers,typing,chatting,writing,journaling,photography,candles,animals,nature,bonfires,camping,water activities,star gazing,laughter,comedy,laughing loud,acting like a child, playfulness,music of all kinds,meditation,prayer,social gatherings,fine dining,art fairs,yard sales,theatre plays,shopping,traveling,gardening,reading,aroma therapy,collecting doves,fimo clay,scrapbooking........ect.

The rest of my bio ~

My life long dream is to pursue art in every single form, to live and breathe it. I gave up on that dream in my early adulthood when I found my health failing me while being a single parent to four children. The battle began between self blame, chronic pain, the fight or flight and my flesh nearly replacing my core identity. There is much left in the universe of my mind and I seek to let the "post traumatic" gale winds blow. I smile when I hurt, laugh when I really may need to cry. I believe that every person has good in them and that we all are a part of each other. Love is something we create not something that happens and I struggle like everyone else to perfect this within myself.

To sum myself up would be hard, I am a complex person with very deep thought. My children were and are my life. I love just about everything in life and cherish female friendships. I am strong because of the storms I weathered and weak because my empathy has always left me open to others pain. I am a christian and yet a new ager. I believe in many paths, many different gifts and the responsibility to develop those gifts in order to help humanity. Life is what we make it and what we think it, this I whole heartedly believe but I am not so unwise to know that abuse leaves us with fragments that we can't always pull out or completely heal. Maybe just maybe sometimes God needs to leave fragments to keep us empathic towards others and if not I proclaim I am just taking baby steps until I am worthy of more knowledge. If you study EFT write me a message I love discussing all things spiritual and of any healing nature.
