Releasing the Kraken that is my thoughts

Yay another blog on the interwebs!
It's been recommended to me that I write (by people in my life and the voices in my head). So now this happens. I'm not sure what service I can provide by doing this, but it's offered...so there's that.
SPOILER ALERT: The title of my blog site suggests I possess intel for the secret "root to all peace". That's cuz I do possess this secret. We all do. The root is YOU (don't look over your shoulder...look in the mirror!). I'll get into discussions about this going forward. In the mean time....
I'm a Maryland native "thirty something" living in Los Angeles, California (by way of a 12 year Florida detour). To the left (<--) is my sweet feline companion Sunshine, with her Jedi-mind-trick-traffic-stopping stare that only her eyes can perform. She's one of two cat companions I'm graced with. Rufus (the boy wonder) will make an appearance later.
Over the last few (11-ish) years I've had an inner stirring that just intensifies with time. It's theme is simple and clear: help uplift the world to be more loving and compassionate. This began when my blinders blew off as I "felt" for a captive Silverback gorilla at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida (circa 2000). He looked miserable. Though I had seen captive animals before, for some reason, on this day, I felt how horrid being held against your will must be. This majestic animal from the Congo in Africa is now stuck at a theme park in crowded Florida with screaming children, cotton candy machines, roller coasters, and an artificial environment. My journey to find alternative ways to help wild animals stay free and safe led me down a path that was the end...and the beginning....of life as i knew it.
We all know the only constant is change. My "view" of life is no different. I've been intentionally engaged in spiritual growth and expansion for the last 6 years or so - wOw what a ride! Within the last year alone, my interpretation of reality is dramatically different than it was. How about yours? I'd love to hear about your experiences as well, so feel encouraged to share at anytime.
As I continue to embrace stillness, connecting to the depths of myself and my heart, one Truth rings clearer with each breath: everything we see going on in the world is a reflection of what's going on inside each of us. Super broad I know, I'll get into greater depth as I go.
If what I'm discovering on my journey resonates with you, seriously feel encouraged to share, engage and/or ask questions. I've encountered countless angels on my souls journey, and still do. Some I've met, most not. Reading random blogs has resulted in numerous shifts for me. If this is one for you, in the words of the great Pootie Tang: "Wah dah tah m'nay no...wah dah tah...".
Thanks for stopping by!
For the love of love,
