WHO I WAS...

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the feeling of gathering people around a table. There’s something sacred about the act of cooking a meal, sharing stories, and experiencing the warmth that fills the space. But like many of us, I spent years caught up in the busyness of life, checking off responsibilities without pausing to savor the deeper moments.

I believed connecting with the Divine was something that only happened in church or through quiet prayer. What I didn’t realize then was that the sacred was all around me—in the laughter of friends, the vibrant colors of fresh ingredients, and the ancient stories whispered through the land itself.

WHAT HAPPENED...

Sharing and connecting with the Divine through cooking and travel wasn’t a sudden revelation, as it was with my experience with Jesus in 2011 (read more about that story here). It was a series of moments when God opened my heart to creating and sharing the Divinely Inspired Cooking & Sacred Travel Channel.

Standing on holy ground during my travels, I could feel the presence of the Divine woven into the earth. Cooking became more than something I loved—it became an act of connecting to the Spirit and trusting God with every step I took. From selecting the ingredients to bringing them together to honor the culture and the land, I trusted God’s guidance in preparing the meal. Each dish became a prayer, a celebration of life and connection.

My cooking journey is even more unique because I don’t pre-plan my recipes. I allow the Holy Spirit, my Higher Self, to guide me in the moment. I listen for inspiration on what ingredients to select. I receive visions and guidance on what the meal’s courses should look like. There are times I have never utilized an ingredient before, and I must place my trust entirely in God to bring the dishes together. It’s a practice of complete faith and confidence in the Divine, allowing the wisdom of the moment to flow through me and believing that what is created will nourish both body and soul. Each dish is infused with the sacredness of the place I’m in and the culture that has shaped it. Through honoring the land and its stories, I believe that the energy and spirit of that place become a part of the meal itself.

But my connection to the land doesn’t end with cooking. As part of COOL Journeys, I also facilitate sacred healing ceremonies worldwide. These ceremonies are an opportunity to listen to the land, honor its history, and actively participate in its healing. By respecting the earth and sharing in its bounty, I believe we nourish ourselves and offer something back—a ripple of gratitude, love, and renewal.

I saw how sharing food with others created space for joy, healing, and understanding. And I discovered that just as the land carries the memory of all who walked before us, our kitchens can carry the memories of laughter, nourishment, and love. Every bite can remind us how spirit flows through us and how we are all connected.

WHO I AM...

Today, I’m the creator of COOL Journeys: Divinely Inspired Cooking & Sacred Travel, a space where I celebrate the beauty of cooking, traveling, and connecting with the Divine in everyday moments.

Through this channel, I invite you to join me on a journey of discovery—exploring sacred lands, preparing meals infused with intention, and gathering around tables to share in the joy of community. You’ll witness how the spirit of a place can inspire a dish, how the simple act of breaking bread can heal hearts, and how every destination holds its own story waiting to be told.

But most importantly, I hope it sparks something within you—a desire to infuse your life with meaning and connection. Because when we approach life with reverence and joy, the Divine reveals itself in the most unexpected places.

So, let’s set the table, embrace the beauty of the world around us, and savor every moment. After all, the most memorable journeys often begin with a single bite and an open heart.
