Why did I start this blog?
Short answer: to survive, to thrive, and to express my soul.
The long answer: no one has that much time to read about a stranger–especially one who, overall, has little influence on the world beyond her words.
All of our words have influence, as soon as we use them, and we can’t take them back, or deny them. Not really. The free tools and potential weapons that are our words have more impact and meaning than we realize. They can also reach deaf ears, or no one who cares.
What will it achieve?
Anyone’s guess is as good as mine. I’d like to think that I might find some people to inspire and to be inspired by, that I might start bold, healthy and respectful conversations. I’m here to hold myself accountable to my own healing journey and principles, while offering freelance reiki and writing services.
Foremost, I wish to inspire my newborn son, Jace.
No matter how old you become:
- Never give up on yourself.
- Hear everything. Listen carefully.
- Understand that you are the only one who sees the world exactly as you do.
- Embrace your emotions to see what’s behind them.
- Brace yourself for the chaos of life.
- Strength is more than muscle.
- Courage is acting in spite of fear.
- Share and be grateful.
- You are loved.
- You are not alone.
So, what is the Gemini Healer?
A daily dose of yours truly.
Who I am each day–what I did, what caught my interest, who I once was, why I did anything–will be broadcasted with the utmost honesty, anonymity and omissions; following the mercurial passions of my Gemini self, I will share my humanity with you as a writer and Reiki Master Teacher.
These stories and expressions on my site will be incredibly personal alongside my professional services. As such, I’ll be referring to people with ascribed nicknames chosen by themselves, or myself to protect identities. I will not discuss any individual clients at any time, though I will talk about my experiences as a Reiki Master and how I handle that aspect of myself.
I will include my daily life, work, and musings. There will be drama, comedy, fortunes, and misfortunes. I might be silly, or serious. There are plenty of chances that I’ll be sad, and fewer that I’ll be mad. This page is not about isolated positivity. Healing requires both light and shadow, recovery and pain.
By sharing my truth and joy and pain, I hope it serves as a gateway to the healing journeys of others. Our healing journeys are never over, and we’re never ready. There is, however, always hope.
Be prepared. Every night at 9:44 pm.
Love and Light
