Hi, I'm EvelynIn October of 2016, as I watched my dear friend and honorary uncle lay dying, I woke up to truth. The context of that moment was excruciatingly painful, but the content of that moment was infinitely divine. In that miraculous moment of seeing/ knowing/ feeling/ being TRUTH, I knew I had a choice: live every breath from then on out anchored to truth or allow myself to forget it and return to business as usual. I made my choice almost involuntarily, and I've been honoring Marshall's Promise, to the very best of my ability, ever since.

Girl with SkullMy vow to honor truth above all things was a vow to trust my deepest heart above all input. (Truth = God = golden light = perfect love = ALL that is = infinity) We ALL have God's voice in our ears, I just happen to call it "my deepest heart." Of course, you're free to call it whatever feels right in YOUR deepest heart, friend!
Anyway, I did a lot of things that people thought were CRAZY. I got divorced (amicably). I explored my sexuality (enthusiastically). I lived transiently (voluntarily). And I carried a giant sugar skull around, in public, which I eventually named Maestro. Why did I do such things? Because every step of the way, I asked and I prayed that the right path would be revealed to me. And every step of the way, I CHOSE to TRUST whatever my deepest heart guided me to do. This, my friends, is faith embodied, and it has opened doors to a life I never thought possible.

SlaveryThree years ago I posted a video to my Youtube channel decrying the murder of Stephon Clark, a 22-year old unarmed American who was shot dead in his grandparents back yard in Sacramento. My deepest heart knew that taking the life of another human is one of the most egregious spiritual crimes that exist, but my rational mind wasn't sure if I was "allowed" to speak up against such injustice. I'm white, after all. Was it my "place" to join this fight?
When George Floyd was murdered, something shifted in the public discourse. White allies were explicitly invited to stand up and speak out. This was all the "permission" I needed. And now that I'm listening with spirit's ears, I can no longer look away from the mountain of injustice that my fellow humans are buried under. 2.3 million American citizens are living in cages RIGHT NOW, being brutalized, raped, tortured, and humiliated, and THEN permanently branded as throw-away people. This is a spiritual crime as enormous and egregious as slavery, and it's time to acknowledge the emergency.
