About me

I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I was valedictorian of my grade school and my high school. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a major in Mathematics. I raised two wonderful children. I have grandchildren. I worked in the Actuarial profession for approximately the first 20 years of my adult life. When I passed the Actuarial Mathematics exam, I knew I could teach myself anything in Mathematics. I have worked in business another 10 years, but within that, my focus was also on what I would label energetic or spiritual.

My play and my understanding since then has come from a variety of books, from a course, maybe five years long, called Mastering Alchemy where the Arch Angels and Ascended Masters came in to teach us as a group, from direct information and teachings from some of these same non-physical beings through other people in my life, and from my own exploration and experimentation in life.

About a year before I stepped out of the actuarial world, I knew I was going to. I felt it end. I expected to see the new and then make the move, but I have learned since that is not how my life works. Eventually, though, I did have an excuse to quit my job, and I followed that because of the knowing from the year before. It did add to it that it was exactly a year. I felt that had significance. I went on a “crystal adventure”, with the crystal being from Atlantis times and not physically on this plane. From the beginning of that, I knew I was going to be a very different person at the end, so I started to write about it as I went along. I started my first blog then as there were a number of people who wanted me to keep them updated and this seemed easiest for them to opt out if they were no longer interested. There came a point where my writing stopped until a new chapter of my life started. In this new life, I started a new blog and invited the past followers to join again if they wanted to.

It was in that time frame, those next levels of exploring and sharing myself with others that I started to give more. I had moved to London, England, and then to Glastonbury, England, otherwise known as Avalon. I learned a modality called Magical Awakening, similar to Reiki, and I started to offer that and receive feedback on the benefits to others. I was asked to make myself more available, and eventually I did. In early 2022, I started Moments with Marybeth, a one-hour time slot available once a week for people to come and receive. I made myself available. Much grew for me around that opportunity. I learned a lot about myself. I opened more. I integrated the Magical Awakening into this space. It fed me even as it nourished those who came to receive. It was as this space began, that this website was born. For about 3 ½ years this housed my primary playgrounds.

I am back in the United States. I am living in Roseville, Minnesota, near my son and his family, relatively close to my daughter and her family, and a bit farther out from my mom and siblings. My work moved easily with me from the UK to the USA, as I had moved Moments with Marybeth to Zoom a while ago. I spent linear time creating a new foundation here. I felt the renovation of my condo from floor to ceiling was symbolic of the levels of changes going on within me. I expected my work to expand again once I was settled. But the opposite happened. I saw it was time to wrap up, to bring to completion, to shepherd the energies back in. And so I did.

I wrapped everything up. I stopped the Magical Awakening sessions. I stopped Moments with Marybeth. I stopped one-to-one sessions. I noticed my words and my engagement changed as I spoke with friends. My whole perspective closed.

I am currently in a place where I have no real playgrounds. There is yet nothing opening. When I do see a potential place to play, I put a little energy that way and it simply closes. I like this. I prefer not to have busy work. I prefer only that which has real potential for where I want to play to open. It will come, as all of nature’s cycles show us. I like my ability to complete as much as I like my ability to create. I look forward to the new as it shows itself. I believe I have, or I still am, bringing all expressions of me back to zero-point. I sense the new that wants to express does not wish to be limited to have to express linearly, built upon past expressions. It wants and is creating full freedom. This excites me.
