Thank you for visiting my Celebrant website! I have been on a long journey of discovery which led me to the CelebrantUSA Foundation and Institute. It has always been my mission in life
to provide people with the tools and knowledge needed to create ceremonies of love, laughter, honor, and healing within their lives.The CelebrantUSA Foundation has given me the opportunity to
learn and to grow in this process so that I can serve the needs of others more fully. The process of becoming a Celebrant is
on-going, and I am so excited to have received my certification from the Foundation, with emphasis on Funeral Celebrancy, in June of 2005! You can find out more
about the Foundation by clicking on the Certified Celebrant Logo below. In addition to completing the 9 month Certified Celebrant course, I am also an
Ordained Reverend with the Universal Life Church to ensure the legality of your marriage ceremony and I am available now to serve any of your Ceremonial needs. I
believe fully in the right of all human beings to hold their own moral, ethical, and spiritual beliefs without interference or intimidation from others. I am
mixed-blood Cherokee and follow the spiritual teachings of my people to the best of my ability. And am also honored to be entrusted with the beliefs of my adopted
families of the Lakota and Skidi-Pawnee Nations. I do not sell these beliefs nor my own traditional customs and rituals. My choice to become a Celebrant is based
on the desire to help each individual discover and create Ceremonies that reflect your beliefs and values, not mine.
My background includes Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Drury University in Springfield, MO. More than 12 years in real estate sales
and leasing. And a devotion to volunteer work in the areas of domestic violence, prisoner and probationer rehabilitation, and the support of multi-cultural diversity programs and services. |

Next time
Next time what I'd do is look at
the earth before saying anything. I'd stop
just before going into a house
and be an emperor for a minute
and listen better to the wind
or to the air being still.
When anyone talked to me, whether
blame or praise or just passing time,
I'd watch the face, how the mouth
has to work, and see any strain, any
sign of what lifted the voice.
And for all, I'd know more -- the earth
bracing itself and soaring, the air
finding every leaf and feather over
forest and water, and for every person
the body glowing inside the clothes
like a light.
