Navigating My Life

Navigating Life’s Turns ~ Embrace the Unexpected

Life is a winding journey, filled with twists and turns we rarely anticipate. At 74 years young, with a heart full of gratitude and a mind brimming with memories, I find myself reflecting on the profound ways life’s detours have shaped me—and how they can shape you, too.

If someone had told me at 14, as I left school with dreams of art and design, that my path would wind through fashion runways, interior design studios, spiritual monasteries, and intimate supper clubs, I might have smiled politely and dismissed the thought. But here I am, standing at the intersection of art, spirituality, and teaching, knowing deeply that it’s our energy—our openness to possibility—that turns life’s unexpected bends into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

The Art of Embracing Change

In my late 20s, I finally found my way back to my first love: art and design. It wasn’t a straight path. Life demanded patience, resilience, and courage to return to college, pick up a paintbrush, and say, “This is who I am.” From teaching adults at night school to designing lingerie that graced exhibitions alongside the Emmanuels, I learned that pursuing passion isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

But life is rarely content with staying still. One unexpected invitation—to design a house—opened doors I hadn’t known existed. Before I knew it, I was creating concepts like Sampleboard, opening design outlets, and managing teams in prestigious department stores. Yet, despite outward success, I felt an inner void. Life was whispering, “There’s more.”

The Power of Inner Exploration

That whisper became a roar, propelling me on a spiritual journey that led me across continents and into the depths of my soul. I studied shamanism, explored EFT and Shadow Work, and ultimately discovered Ayurveda within the serene walls of a Vedic monastery in North Carolina. Along the way, I found that our energy—the essence we carry within us—is what shapes our experiences. When we align with our inner truth, we transform not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us.

Today, I bring all those lessons to White Frias Haus, a sanctuary where creativity and spirituality meet. It’s a place where I host supper clubs, private gatherings, and workshops, sharing art, design, and ancient wisdom with others. My journey has taught me that no matter where we start, we can always find our way—if we’re willing to trust life’s process and honor the energy we bring to it.

Your Journey Begins with a Single Step

As I prepare to celebrate my 74th birthday, I’m reminded that age is not a limitation but a gift. Every experience, every challenge, every joy has brought me here. And now, I’d love to help you navigate your own twists and turns. Whether you’re seeking balance through Ayurveda, clarity through mentoring, or inspiration through art and design, I’m here to guide you.

The future is unwritten, but the energy you bring today can transform what’s to come. Let’s make it meaningful together.
