"What excites me most about participating in The Way of St. Francis Spirit Quest is the soul call to live the prayer, not merely recite it. This challenge is a sacred invitation to embody the values I hold dear: harmony, love, forgiveness, and unity - not as lofty ideals, but as everyday choices that ripple through our world. The quality of Forgiveness chose me long before I chose it. I’ve seen how its absence creates division, inner turmoil, and generational pain, and how its presence is pure alchemy. Forgiveness dismantles walls, softens hardened hearts, and restores peace within and between us. I feel honored to steward this key during the Quest. SoFeya’s vision resonates deeply with my personal mission: to be a vessel for healing and remembrance. As Wayne Dyer said, “You receive what you desire for others,” echoing St. Francis’s wisdom that in giving, we receive. In that spirit, I am excited to walk beside other visionary souls as we co-create a field of peace by becoming instruments of it. This is how we restore the sacred to the center of our lives and the soul of our world."
