There was a time when I felt small and insignificant. A total misfit and failure because I didn’t measure up to society’s ‘norm.’ I had no value and had nothing of value to offer.

I watched brilliant people show up, pour their hearts out, and walk away with nothing to show for it... and that stayed with me. Then God started nudging me toward something bigger. And I laughed. It took about 2 years for me to realize that He was serious and finally take the leap, and Phoenix Collaborations was born.⁠https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/?p=136796⁠

Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, and Claude Monet I recently saw the Van Gogh exabit with Monet and I was transformed. The colours, the hues, the flow, the story telling.

An Artist’s Search for Creative Ways to Overcome Life’s Obstacles: How Shioda Yoshinkan Aikido Helped Me See Beyond the Light⁠https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/?p=136481⁠

For most of my life, I lived with a constant noise in my head — fear, self-doubt, and the kind of quiet anxiety that turns every situation into a problem. Through years of intense internal work, meditation, education, and facing the fears I’d been running from, I found something I didn’t know existed: real, lasting peace. ⁠https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/?p=135892⁠

Linda says " I’m saddened to see how many people are suffering and wanted to do something about it .  I work with people to free them from the unconscious identities that quietly sabotage their potential, so they can rise into the clarity, courage, and self-authority their life has always been calling them toward."⁠selfdiscoverywisdom.com/?p=136788⁠

Whether through massage therapy, Reiki, energy healing, intuitive guidance, sound, or simply holding compassionate space, my purpose is to help people reconnect with hope, awaken their innate capacity to heal, and remember that they are far more resilient and whole than they may believe. ⁠https://selfdiscoverywisdom.com/?p=136768⁠

For more than four decades, I’ve watched hardworking families and business owners do everything “right,” yet still find themselves financially vulnerable when life unexpectedly changes.

I’m a “Recovered Angry Person,” something I became as a result of my quest to get in charge of anger that spewed from me for nearly two years back in 1971.
