Share the Light!

Hi folks!

Well, as usual, I was going to just sneak off and quietly do this thang, all by myself. Haaa! But Spirit has now made it plain to me that there are other like-minded, heart-led people out there who might like to be involved in this Journey of Light.

This holy pilgrimage represents the hopes and dreams of many people. Some wish they could do such a thing, but can’t. A few are doing it right where they are, while others – who don’t know quite how — hope and pray that someone will. Well, Spirit has answered your prayers and honored your Intent: Now someone is! If you are one of those activated people who prays for peace on Earth, who works toward raising the consciousness and love-based behavior of your community, who recognizes and understands the value and significance of activating and releasing the energies of the earth and sacred sites; if you are excited someone is doing this and want to be involved, then here’s your chance! I invite you to pray about how Spirit, working through you, would like to work for the highest good.

Ways You Can Help

Though not an exhaustive list, here are some suggestions:

Shelter

Since I am doing this trip on minimal funding, I will be primarily sleeping in my car or on the ground where/when/if free camping can be found.

  1. Some locales require more than one day’s Work, yet finding places to stay for multiple days can be a challenge. Rest stops, for instance, only allow one night while passing through. Also, a night or two here and there to rest, pray and synthesize my experiences (and bathe and sleep in! LOL) as I go would be a great blessing. If you want to help with shelter, you can do so by offering your own roof, or by contacting any spiritual friends or relatives you feel may be willing to shelter me along the way and letting them know of my Journey. I can be contacted through my website here.
  2. There will also be times when I definitely need a larger break to write, pray, regroup… For these times, house sitting situations could work in quite synchronistically. Please help by keeping your eyes and ears open for anyone who needs a short-term house sitter, referring them to me and contacting me immediately. I have both experience and excellent references for house sitting. More about this and my house sitting qualifications can be found at  http://www.TLChousesitting.com.
  3. If you know of any places along my posted route that are safe and free for camping, or just pulling a car over for the night without being hassled by police, addicts, or other potential threats, sharing that information would be greatly appreciated.

Food

Again, since I am on a limited budget, I will not be eating in restaurants along the way. My diet will consist primarily of raw foods: nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables.

  1. If you know of any farmer’s markets to which you can direct me along the way, that would be great.
  2. Even better, if you or anyone you know has a garden with overflow from which you could make a donation, that would be super cool! I am a permaculturist and always enjoy meeting other gardeners, seeing their gardens, and — of course! – enjoying the bounty of the Mother fresh from the earth!
  3. If you or anyone you know owns a restaurant who throws or gives away food at the end of the day, please ask if  they would be willing to donate to me if I drop by. It would be great to meet some awesome cooks and be blessed with prepared food on occasional.

Drop Off Points

Some of my main staples — such as vitamins, acai, and goji berries — I purchase online far cheaper than I can access in retail stores. A cheap and simple way to help is to agree to receive a package or let me catch up with my mail at your physical address along my posted route.

Equipment

My hope is that my car will survive the entire trip to South America. I am planning, however, for the possibility that my car could be lost. Hence, I will have with me a fully-packed backpack with survival gear.

  1. There are still a few things I need so if you have any usable equipment to donate, or just words of wisdom from which I could benefit, I would receive those with gratitude.  My entire packing list, marked with what I have and what I still need, is (or will soon be) included in the post entitled The Ultimate Packing List.

Safety

  1. Help me build a “friends” list for my travels. If you have any friends in the U.S., western Canada, Alaska, Mexico, Central America, or South America who could be called upon in an emergency or would be willing to help in any way at all, please speak to them about my quest and — with their permission — send me their contact information.

Massage or other Healing Work

Like all endeavors of depth, this pilgrimage is a challenge on many levels. One big challenge, as those close to me know, is the fact that I am living with several disabilities, all of which cause physical pain and migraines. If you have any healing skills with which you feel led to bless me along the way, my body and entire Being would receive that with great joy and comfort, thank you tremendously, and bless you whole big bunchies!

Public Relations

The more people know, the more energy we generate! I’d like to see as many people aware of this mission — sending energy to the earth, each other and ME — as possible!

  1. If you or anyone you know works for a magazine or local newspaper,  you may want to consider doing a human interest piece on this pilgrimage.
  2. If you have any publicity skills, you could volunteer to write and/or send press releases so more locals are aware of my mission.

A Special Word about Native American Land

Some of the places I hope to experience and bless in the course of this pilgrimage are on or near reservations or places held sacred by local Native Americans. I do not take this lightly. I honor the native peoples of America, their traditions, and the energy they have held on this earth for millenia. I do not want to be presumptuous, nor intrude, without permission. I am initiated in the Inca lineage of South America and both comprehend and embrace the sacredness of all of Creation. Therefore if you are an active member or elder of a Native American tribe in an area I hope or plan to visit, I humbly and respectfully request that you consider speaking on my behalf to the elders of that area that I may be granted the privilege of walking the  Mother in places enriched with the love and energy of your people.

Money

Or, of course, you can simply donate money. Money is good! Haaaa!

  1. Please feel free to give a one-time contribution, or pray about pledging a monthly amount to keep me going. A secure Paypal link is provided in the sidebar which allows you to donate by credit card or direct transfer from your bank. You do not need a Paypal account to donate but, in that case, you will need a credit card. Signing up for Paypal is free.  If you would like a receipt for tax purposes, please make a note in the area provided when you donate. The receipt will be from Sacred Circles non-profit organization.
  2. If you own a business, or know any business owners, please consider becoming a company sponsor.
  3. If you have a spiritually-based non-profit organization, or one dedicated to human potential, please consider being an organizational sponsor.

Membership Benefits

This website was intended to be a private site, shared only by my close friends and family. The reason for this is obvious: It was — and is – intended to be the personal journal of a very personal and sacred experience. This is not a site for teaching or ministering to others, though I have no doubt you can learn and expand with me along the way. Rather, this is a Sacred Work, and my writings herein stem from that deep place of moving in the numinous with holy purpose. I hope you will understand, therefore, that this is not a site for “lookie-lou’s.” Hence, I still believe the right choice is to maintain privacy, with a somewhat extended version of that. So this is more a “by invitation of the elders” only situation, which I will extend to those who commit to supporting the Work.

As I contributor, who shows actual support for this Work,* you will be provided a password to access all the articles in my personal log. You will be able to read of ancient sites, places of majesty, lessons learned, spirits speaking, and all the hardships and blessings of a Work in Progress along the way. (Well, to be honest, I shouldn’t say “all,” since there will no doubt be far more happening than I could ever fully record or convey, even if I wanted to.) Of course, the biggest benefit to supporting any cause is seeing that cause advanced. As a contributor to Lifequest 2012, you can rejoice in the knowledge that, as a shamanic lightworker, I will be loving, feeding, and nurturing the Earth, releasing needed energies as we move toward enlightenment and ascension. On your behalf, I will be accessing  the power and memories of many ancient and sacred sites, toward the goal of Freedom for  all. (Whew! What a mouthful! — What a mission!) 🙂

*Non-material Support

I am fully aware that not everyone has the financial means to make donations. Nor will everyone be on my route to provide other forms of loving support. There is a kind of support, however, that anyone can give. And that support is prayer. If you are more than merely curious about this Work but are actually touched, excited, jazzed, and/or encouraged in some way, then I would most joyfully and gratefully accept your prayers as support. If you wish to be a prayer warrior on behalf of this quest, then I invite you to please send me your name and some information on yourself, along with why you are jazzed about this Work and what commitment you  pledge in regards to sending prayers and positive energy.

We Are One

I will close here with the Toltec greeting, “in lack ech”  (pronounced een lahk eck), which means “you are my other self.” We are One, and what benefits one, benefits all. And so, to all the parts of me out there from the part of you that is here, I say “thank you,” each and every one of you in advance — for all the energy, in all its forms, that you are and will continue to lend me. May Great Spirit shine such Light upon your path that all that IS vibrates with the truth of your purpose. May all that no longer serves be shook and dissolved; all that is needed be attracted in abundance. Ho and so be it!
