From a young age I always felt like I was different, the outside observer. A loner, I found solace in reading, learning about science and technology. In 1982 I got my first exposure to computers, and it would set my life’s direction for almost 30 years.
I was blessed with a career using information technology (IT) to support and promote art, sport and recreation, history, and tourism. But over time, my career went to places I didn’t want it to. I enjoyed the work less and less, and eventually, this took its toll on my mental and physical health. In 2013, after a health scare and time away from work, I discovered meditation and mindfulness. I found a new peace and enjoyment in life, but work eventually lost its lustre again and I once more found my health suffering. In 2019 I left my job and moved to Ontario to be with family and loved ones, and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Like many during the extended pandemic lockdown, I had lots of time to think and reflect. I was struggling to find purpose and searching for a life coach. That’s when I found Spiritual Niagara… and a community.
Through Spiritual Niagara, I met my tribe. With my life coach’s help, I finally understood I was highly sensitive and empathic (and I could protect that aspect of me). “Different” was ok; it was helping to create my purpose all this time. Listening to my intuition and learning to trust the messages I received, I created Ascendant Bits Creative Digital to help others connect and communicate online.
