The Sage Sisters is a meaningful part of my life purpose -- one that I unexpectedly discovered in December of 2017 while attending an intensive training for a completely different path I thought I was meant to follow.

One evening, we were given a homework exercise:  Write who you are -- without limitations, without self-judgment, and without defining yourself by the past.

Who AM I? I immediately thought: "Well, THAT's going to be a short exercise!" I truly had no idea, despite being 45 years old.

But I had invested a lot to be there, and I deeply respected the instructor, so I took it seriously, and sat down with a pen and my journal in my hotel room.

One hour and 45 minutes later I finally looked up at the clock and realized,"I am in the completely wrong place, trying to do something that does not align with who I am."

I had started with the words: I am a life guide. At first, I wrote coach, but I instinctively crossed it out. While I love and respect coaches, I knew that wasn’t my path. I later learned that guides listen, support, ask questions, offer insights, and walk alongside others on their journeys. It felt true, like me.

You see, it started in 2008, when I read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It changed my life. It gave me a new perspective on a close friendship I had lost, and when I reached out to apologize for my part, it brought her back into my life.

And from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew there was so much more to uncover. I wanted to better understand myself so I could improve all my relationships and life experiences. I devoured one personal development book after another. And I desperately wanted to share and discuss the ideas I was learning with other women. Yet, my friends and family weren’t interested.

I kept thinking: There MUST be other women who love these books and topics as much as I do. I just need to find my people.

With the encouragement of an intuitive coach I was working with, I decided to take a leap, and in May 2018, I started a book club. And guess what? I found my people! As it turned out, they had been looking for their people, too. It was universe magic.
