It was as if Life was conspiring to move me towards this path of becoming a parenting educator. I was going through a time of great upheaval in my own Life. My marriage was ending and it was time to reshape my life. So, at 40-something I was asking myself, “What do you want to be when you grow?”

In that quest I started reading all sorts of self-help, spiritual, and emotional healing books. I found tremendous joy in looking inwards and connecting with my inner spirit.

In the summer of 2001, I went to Oregon to attend the second annual HeartLight Symposium where like minded people gathered to form a school based on the principles taught in the Conversations with God books by Neale Donald Walsch. These schools (www.schoolofthenewspirituality.com) honor the spirit of every child and teach 4 core principles – Awareness, Honesty, Responsibility, and Gratitude. There, I met Barbra, who lives on the East coast a few hours from me and she taught parenting workshops.

In a flash I had my answer! A perfect fit! Teaching was a childhood dream of mine. I absolutely loved being a parent; it was a kind of hobby of mine. I loved being with kids. And here I was, reshaping the definition of my own family.

My path seemed clear and then 9/11 happened and my path became set in stone. When 9/11 happened I got that I could no longer wait for the leaders of our world to create peace on Earth. They didn’t have a clue. It was going to be up to me to create world peace.

And so… here I am still just as driven as ever to assist families in creating and maintaining deep heart connections and honoring the spirit of all family members! Peace begins in the home.

With Joy and Peace,

Eileen.
