I love life! My passion is weaving the most powerful practices of shamanic traditions to support each individual in the manifestation of their highest potential. I was blessed to apprentice and teach with don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, for over six years. I am the author of The Four Elements of Change, Toltec Tarot, and Spiritual Integrity with my husband, Raven Smith. We live in Wimberley, TX with our puppy, Inti, and we teach internationally. Yum!

I quit

This morning I fired myself from running my life. To be fair, I've done a pretty good job up to this point. I'm in a great relationship, I love where I live, I love my work. I have great friends and a sweet dog. But I have noticed that I keep getting in my own way. I know that the universe is infinite and boundless yet I keep acting as if there were limits. I know my replacement will do a much better job of running things than I have. So, I officially offer my resignation from trying to control my life, from thinking I should be doing something different, from second-guessing my choices, from believing that I need to be perfect. I resign from worrying about the future and from any anxiety about doing it wrong. I give notice, effective immediately, that I will no longer judge myself nor use the phases "what if" or "I should" followed by fearful or out of the present thoughts.

I've decided to join another company, one that is fair to its workers and doesn't force them to work overtime and on holidays. This new company believes in equality, creativity, and collaboration. It does not use fear and judgment as the motivating force for its workers, but supports love, passion, and excitement in all actions.

This company is called many things, but I have nicknamed it "God, Inc." I've freelanced for God, Inc. on the side, always wanting to keep my independence. I wanted to work my own way, make my own rules. But I'm tired of being my own boss and feeling understaffed and unsupported. I am look forward to working full time for someone else. I'm ready to work for someone who respects me, and yet has a bigger vision and the energy and capacity to make things happen.

By joining God, Inc. I'll have so much more access to tools, information, and resources. I'm joining a huge workforce of healers, teachers, shamans, visionaries, priests and priestesses who are in service to the main boss. She is very accessible and gives good guidance, but sometimes I've noticed I have to listen very carefully to hear what she is saying. She encourages her workers to be creative and bring passion to their jobs. Ah, what a gift to rest into the guidance of a boss who I trust and resonate with who will tell me how to run my life, and to work in an organization of so many like-minded, dedicated individuals who support me unconditionally.

Thank you Heather! Great story! Do you think God is still hiring? I'm tired of working for myself as well!

Shamanic healing focuses on energetic and emotional "spring cleaning" and then on bringing a person back to wholeness. We often travel through life dragging all our emotional baggage with us, but this is not necessary! We can leave it all behind us and move forward into a life of happiness and freedom, and liberate ourselves from our past through Shamanic healing.
