I always wanted to be somebody; now I realize I should have been more specific. –Lily Tomlin
Author. Poet. Teacher. Counselor. Coach. Intuitive. Mystic. Would-be superhero and cowboy . . . They’re all hats I’ve worn at various times and in various contexts.
No matter which hat I’ve worn in which setting, however, the core process has been remarkably similar. I’ve come to refer to it as Danelling, an obvious play on the word channeling that essentially means channeling Me.
Danelling is what I do when I write, when I connect with someone in some uplifting way, when I understand something with a sweeter clarity than I had before. It’s channeling me, but it’s an elevated, more guided Me whose mind is clear, whose heart is open, whose eye is always on the wide horizon, and whose tongue is always slightly in his cheek.
Some know me as The Shower Channel, a “wet-behind-the ears oracle who channels (in the shower and elsewhere) the ‘Meity’, the infinite many, the collective One and All who is always tuned in and turned on to the stream of well being that is ever flowing.” Read my blog in order to understand more of what that’s about.
My first novel, The Rest Of Our Lives, was published in June 2009 by Lethe Press and is a 2010 Lambda Literary Award finalist. My work has been featured in numerous periodicals, including White Crane Journal and in anthologies such as Charmed Lives and the weekly Power Peek newsletter published by master astrologer Mark Husson, author of LoveScopes, and other popular astrology books. I have been interviewed on Soul’s Journey Radio, All Things That Matter radio, and 12Radio.com, and currently offer classes and intuitive readings through 12Academy .
My creative partnership with artist Cher Odum has resulted in a distinctive and original line of greeting card art currently available online and in selected stores across the country.
I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in English, psychology, and communications. My professional roles have included:
• author, novelist, poet, journalist and editor
• intuitive facilitator
• personal and professional development coach
• college-level writing and humanities instructor
• technical and human resources trainer
• mental health and career counselor
Regardless of the role I’m asked to play, my aim is always to provide inspirational, empowering messages that point in the direction of each individual’s personal connection to Source or Spirit. I believe in every person’s power to create his or her own reality, and I am always ready help you help yourself to a life that is more aligned with your own dreams and desires.
