I was raised in Billerica, Massachusetts (a little north of Boston). After high school (grad in 1999) I tried college in Virginia (Virginia Tech) as a theater major. I was doing great… But I hated it. So I left right away and moved back home… Gaining no college credit for the time and money spent. I decided to try life and see what the “cool people” were like, since I never was one in school. I got a job at a restaurant and started hanging out at bars when I was underage and got in lots of trouble. I got a cool older bartender boyfriend and decided to move to Florida with him. That did not go well. After 3 months I hated that and once again moved home to Billerica. I was working at GNC in the mall, sleeping on my mom’s couch (my room had been turned into a library when I moved to FL), and crying myself to sleep at night knowing there had to more to life then the disasters I was running into. Lovely, huh? Oh I forgot to mention I spent a lot of my youth doing seminars and courses and meditations that my parents were into. At this point I was a rebel and swore I was never doing another seminar. But, my dad seeing me in such a state, said maybe it was time I tried the Miracle of Love Intensive. He said that it was the real thing and I would get something out of it. So I said… Ok. I had no idea what I was getting into. I highly recommend people understand something about the Intensive before they go into it but somehow for me it was fine. At this point I was 21. I thought the worst that could happen was a trip to California (then the Intensives were in San Diego). Just briefly what happened for me was that I found the most honest people ever and I found an access to my heart. A way to melt the stone walls I had put up, release all of my feelings, and I had a real experience of God. I never understood God at church. I don’t think god is a man in the sky judging people… But I also think there is a higher power and that everything is not random and for nothing. Everyone thinks something different and that’s ok too. I can see how all paths lead to God. Opening my heart leads to God, the Almighty. So now that I found this amazing opening and clicked into the part of me that is loving, powerful, sharp… What was I going to do… Go back to my mom’s couch? I think not. I went home, packed my bags, and moved across the country to San Diego. My mom actually came with me. She did the Intensive too and still lives in southern CA running a quaint coffee shop. I chose to stay with the Miracle of Love and be part of the Second Generation, a group of young adults actively working on ourselves materially and spiritually with the goal of self-realization in this lifetime. It has been five years now and these five years have been the most rewarding, difficult, exciting years. If I don’t make it all the way to self-realization, which is my goal, but I make it really close, that seems like time well spent to me. I love the Miracle of Love because it is a group of honest, loving, hard working, open people who are constantly striving to be more aware, bring more love into the world, and do something to really make a difference. That is the kind of people I want to be associated with.
