Possibility, Empowerment, and Walking on Fire

Revelation

I had no idea I was destined to become
a fire walker,
stepping barefoot onto glowing,
hot coals
without allowing them to singe my soles
or my soul.
"The fire is cold," says the fire master,
and I steel my mind,
my Self, in preparation. Still,
hot... glowing... coals,
daring me, taunting me, "Are you
brave enough
to walk on the fire of your life
without getting burned
beyond recognition?" Or perhaps
that's the whole point
of this journey: transformation,
if you are willing
to become the phoenix.

The trick is to not burn you feet
even as the rest of you goes up in flames.

I am a fire walker.

Hello……

I’m Cindye. I like to play with possibility and potential, and I am passionate about the development of HUMAN capital. I recently rediscovered that I like to write poetry. And yes, in case you are wondering, I have actually walked on fire. Many people who know me would be surprised to hear that. Heck, it surprised me, but I did it…twice.

I have been through my share of challenges. This has opened me up to possibility. I have always been a curious person. It’s one of my superpowers. Being a Capricorn (and a four wing five on the Enneagram) I have a determination to find out all I can, and it needs to be based on research and experience. So, I’ve learned some surprising stuff as part of this journey, mostly due to curiosity and the fact that I am big on personal empowerment. I like taking matters into my own hands. I am a “proof is in the pudding” kind of gal. I try things and see what has staying power. What I’ve realized lately is that I would like to share some of these tools with people who are also believers in possibility, potential, and empowerment. I’d like to share a little of my personal journey and introduce you to the work of some of my favorite ground breakers, people like Donna Eden, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Anita Moorjani, Kirk Martin, Richard Rohr, Chase Jarvis, Jim Kwik, Brene Brown, Glennon Doyle, and others. These people are pushing boundaries in ways that increase human capital in the world, and I am all about that. I also love the idea of introducing these tools to young people and the people who raise them, because they make life better in ways that really matter that you don’t learn in school.

I am a former elementary school teacher and homeschool teacher, cancer survivor, and mom to amazing adult twin daughters who happen to struggle with anxiety. I had a condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome during my pregnancy, so I am lucky they are here. I lost my husband, their father, to a sudden heart attack when he was 38 years old and they were six months old. Talk about a life changer. I eventually remarried, which blessed me with a wonderful man and his two children, and after all these years, three grandsons. That doesn’t mean life is easy now, but it is a hard-fought good and getting better all the time.

So, in these pages, I’ll be playing with subjects like creativity, Soul Collage, Mind Movies, our energy body, energy yoga, brain health, neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and meditation (in which I am currently obtaining a teaching certification) with a little dose of spiritual philosophy thrown in the mix, because as I’ve learned, it’s all connected. I’ll try to post regularly, but I do have to do life, so some posts may be longer, and others may be a shot of inspiration like a quote, some music lyrics, a short meditation, or or a creativity exercise. I welcome your questions and engagement. Don’t be shy. Go to the comments and say hi. This is our community. Let’s love each other strong and learn from each other.

In short, my favorite world is a bit “out of the box.” Being inside the box bores me. Always has. So, if you’d like to come along for the ride, welcome aboard. The only requirements are curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to play in the field of possibility. And if you play, play nice.

I’ll try to write more about that firewalk in another post. There’s definitely more to tell…
