WALKINGPRAYERS (WP) came to my mind's eye in 1990 while living in a small community in Japan. Most homes had a BUTSUDON, an elaborate and ornate home altar with photos, incense, candles, holy items dedicated to their beliefs and photos of family members who had passed on. Walking past your shrine daily would evoke a kind of prayer to the subconscious, a WALKING PRAYER. The art and crafts that I design are to summon a walking prayer in your own environment.
I am a Feng Shui Practitioner (studied in Asia), have 2 degrees in Fine Art, an Acutonics Certificate, Reiki Attunement Certification, and a Certificate of Ordination. I have traveled through 28 countries exploring mystical places and holy ground, and have lived in 5 countries and 5 US states!
Most of my profit will go towards Pet EVAC (Emergency & Vacation Animal Care), another endeavor I created to educate the public (for FREE) on Pet Emergency Preparedness for Disasters and Vacation care. I am currently working on a line of animal emergency products and will have them up for sale in the future! www.myspace.com/petEVAC
I volunteer for the Pacific Cove Humane Society (PCHS) and Friends of Coos County Animals (FOCCAS) fostering neonatal kittens in my kitten nursery and attending various local events and festivals to promote animal welfare. All God's animals are little Walking Prayers!
