Wedding Ceremony Officiant & Couples Counselor.
Just had my google business page suspended after being verified. There are some online threads saying this is happening with no explanation. I am mystified and concerned. I have submitted an appeal. Would appreciate any help if anyone has gone through this and how to get to a resolution quickly. đ
Such a fun and fabulous night celebrating with my Washington Wedding Day Best of 2024 champions!!
Fun Day in The Sun Day on the way to a very Fun and Fabulous Exclusive Country Club Wedding.
I have been aching to swim in the lake. The great joy of my childhood has been lake swimmingâŠliving a mere block from Puget Sound is lovely yet the water is so cold it is not truly a place to enjoy the kind of swimming that I grew up with in the Canadian Great Lakes.
Enter Mr Google and hooray there is a small magical lake on the way to my wedding today. So off I go and spend three wonderful hours swimming, lazing around and preparing for my wedding near by. Little did I realize that I was on my way to one of the PNWâs and ( perhaps ) even the worldâs most exclusive Golf Clubs that hosts tournaments also from around the world.
A shower and clean up later and it was show timeâŠonly thing was that half the ceremony space was in the shade and half was in the blazing HOT HOT HOT sun.
I cajoled the crowd with Letâs do this sweat sesh for team bride and groom, and those of you on the sun side get to line up for drinks first afterwards. After the ceremony a man approached me and said ..you are Canadian arenât you ? I was delighted but surprised. How did you know? First he recognized my Home Land accent as a fellow Canadian and also apparently lining up for drinks is not an American phrase. Line Ups are for suspects in a criminal case. Who knew?
The Ceremony was very sweet for a couple who had been together since they were 19 at Gonzaga U. Their wedding party were friends from their time on campus so during the love story portion of the ceremony any time we mentioned another significant moment in their Love Story review they all got to chant â Go Zagsâ.
The vows were so precious and brought forth lots of tears to mingle with the sweat and finally they were pronounced âmarriedâ
I took some time after to have a bite to eat at the Club restaurant, a privilege rarely granted to non members. As I was walking out I passed through the Hall of Fame and took time to pay attention to some of the photos. My Dad was a golf fanatic and even became a golf proâŠthere on the wall was a picture of his heroâs. Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and others⊠One of the last times I spent with my Dad as he was winding down his life was watching just the kind of Classic tournament that this club hosts and he was as passionate about each swing and each ball settling into the hole as he had been as long as I had known him.
As I drove away, I felt my past as a joyfully lake swimming child, and child of a proud golf master swirling around with my present life as a celebrant of love and marriage, sweating it out in a place of pure beauty, both at the lake and the Club and I gave thanks for all the blessings of my life.
Thank you M & N for the honor of helping you get married today. You are so steady and ready for this next step in your beautiful love story. We all sweated on your behalf today and it was so worth it. I wish you many years and decades of joy and happiness together. You are well on your way to your Ever After. ⊠and as we chanted today in your honor â Go Zagsâ

K&J just might be the most chill newly married couple I have ever had the pleasure of sipping champagne with. Ceremony complete, license signed and now just lounging in the dusky charm of before joining their guests for what they called â the best dinner party ever in the history of the worldâ. What a joy to be with you both. Your hearts and light filled spirits blessed us all as we gathered to celebrate your wedding. One of the sweetest highlights was the spontaneous cheer that happened as we honored Kâs grandparents who were there celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary. What amazing footsteps to follow in and bonus that both coupleâs share the initials K&J!
Thanks to the wonderful team at Imperia, Victoria from vevents_pnw for your easy going leadership, Rick Takagi for your fun and expert photo skills and Lovecraft for all things sound and music. Perfect team for this sweet gentle couple.

Extraordinary Joy!!! I had the honor of guiding Stephanie and her wonderful husband through some couples counseling and helped them to dare to claim their dream to relocate to the PNW and have a baby! Then we celebrated their wedding right here in their dream land last year and now a cross country trip, two new jobs and P**F here they are at my home with baby magic in my arms! Could there be any greater fulfillment for them and for me!!! Blessings Dear Alex Stephanie and baby A. Official Auntie duties being added to my resume!
Kyle and Mari first connected over a shared love of PNW hikes. On one of their favorite hikes they collected Wishing Stones to include in their ceremony. Each guest had a moment to send their prayers and good wishes for Mari and Kyleâs marriage into their stone. Now Mari and Kyle will take some stones with them and return them to nature as they continue their hiking adventures not only here but in magical places in Europe and beyond. Their wish is to share all their wedding joy and the blessings given to them from their Loved Ones with the whole world. What a joy to help you cross the threshold dear Mari and Kyle. May the trail ahead be filled with fun and laughter. Your cake topper is so very perfect as you truly are gentle and sweet just like Love Birds!
Thank you Rebecca of New Creations Weddings and the whole vendor team. It was an honor to serve this sweet couple in such relaxed and superior professional delightful atmosphere! Canât wait for the magical photos from Jenn Tai!

My lastest blog post...sharing a beautiful and inspiring message from Sacred Activist Andrew Harvey about love relationships that are focused on healing, transformation and mutual support of each other's call to purpose and thus are also a powerful contribution to the healing and transformation of our world. I believe this is truly the purpose for all our in depth and dedicated relationships. Together we are world change makers. I hope this message inspires us all.
evolutionary relationships. love partnerships that serve and support each other's healing and transformation and also the healing and transformation of our world.
For All of You Who are Seeking, Longing for your Soulmate...this one is for you. For all of you who are in relationships that you are trying to make into Soulmate-hood and you are struggling, this one is for you too. This is the path of truly conscious awakened relationship. Listen carefully and receive the gifts and wisdom of this conversation.
The core message is:
1. the Beloved is Within and 2. THE ONE cannot be denied.
When we focus on BEING the fullest expression of ourselves, connected to the Source the seeking stops. We are fulfilled from within.
If it is correct for us to be with a human partner they will be in the same state within themselves and the connection will not be denied.
The last part of the podcast is so hopeful. We are awakening collectively and our whole human family is our Soul Mate!!!
Thank you Matt Kahn and Alex Ferrari of Next Level Soul.

Beach Wedding Hawaiian Style. I began officiating weddings in Hawaii many years ago. Ceremony, Ritual, honoring and including gratitude for the beauty of nature and the love of family are natural parts of the Hawaiian culture and are woven in to all wedding ceremonies whether simple or grand. What a joy to witness this sweet celebration on my favorite beach, Hanalei Bay during my recent vacation. It reminded me of everything I love and deeply believe in about the sacredness of the wedding ceremony and the power of making life long commitments. If you would like to include some Hawaiian rituals in your ceremony, let me know. Giving the gift of a flower lei or even a single blossom to your partner or parents is so touching. Washing and blessing your rings in Mother Ocean allows for a fresh beginning. Special music and even dance during your ceremony is bound to bring tender tears. Whether you have ever been to Hawaii or not the Aloha Spirit of love gratitude and joy can easily be woven into your wedding celebration.
Letâs get you married and find your own unique ways to celebrate love and say âWe Doâ

Thanks so much. đ

Powerful skills and practices to support you in your love journey whether you are just starting out as a committed couple, on your way to I DO, or many years down the road of marriage. The couples who have taken the course have such beautiful and potent testimonials.
"After our first session we found that we just didn't go back to your usual pattern of arguing." C&S
"we have so little time together with our busy work schedules and raising our six year old son. After he is asleep, instead of just rehashing our day, now we sit together and do the breathing practice. In just a short time we feel calm, centered and deeply connected. It is the way we start our Friday night check in date and then are able to share more deeply with each other and sort through challenges really easily." K&A
"it feels so good to get to share with my partner and just be completely listened to, instead of being interrupted or talked over. When they offer validation and empathy I not only feel heard but gotten. I feel truly accepted and loved" A&C
"Sometimes my partner gets overwhelmed by my wants and my big emotions. I am learning to approach more slowly and to let them know what is happening with me and ask how they are so we can agree on how to connect in ways that take care of both of us" M&R
We have had some huge life decisions to make this year, on top of planning our wedding. We have been so stressed and overwhelmed. Grace has helped us work through the anxiety and fear and find really creative and inspired choices rather than just reacting and deciding from fear and pressure. S&A
"we get caught in conflict over day to day responsibilities and discovered that the pattern is tied to much deeper needs. We realized that we want to feel like we can trust our partner to really be fully committed to not only the little things but the big things, like having kids. We have been learning how to recognize the deeper needs and to offer genuine reassurance." C&S

Please enjoy my lastest blogpost. Lady of Grace and her Guardian Eagle.
When I first moved to Seattle in the fall of 95 my very first friend was a bald eagle. I had made the move from the east with a stop in Boulder to hang out with the Rocky Mountains for a while and then received a very clear message during meditation. "Go to Seattle, your life is waiting for you there." So as the spiritual pilgrim that I was, I packed up my tiny car and found myself settled in a delightful small cove just yards from the beach with ferries arriving and departing right outside my window. Being a perpetual new comer has tested my faith many times and this was no different. I knew it was the right choice, yet being without friends near by has always been the hardest part of these moves. As the winter closed in and brought its perpetual grey, I slumped down into a grey mood and doubt seeped in. The one affirming blessing that had come almost immediately upon arrival, was a morning visitor in the tree right outside my home. I had grown up with the beautiful song of the loon and now I was been greeted by the magical call of the bald eagle. He would fly from a nearby island and begin his morning greeting like clockwork every day about 7 am. I knew he was my guardian from Spirit assuring me that I was in the right place and I began calling him my Eagley Guy. One day as my loneliness and doubt surged up like the stormy waves, I went for a walk in my cove. It was a calm, still, misty day and as I walked I questioned everything. What am I doing here? What am I doing with my life? How can this be right, to constantly move around the planet to be in lovely places all by myself? As I walked back to my home, damp and chilled, my eye caught the movement of something lapping in the shallow water at the shore. I thought it was a stick but as I walked toward it I realized it was something all together different. I bent down and picked up a massive eagle feather, as long as my arm. As I stood to inspect it, my Eagley Guy flew by, right at eye level and then swooped up, way way up. I heard, "lift up, rise up, see with eagle eyes and remember who you are, remember your purpose. You are here to bring light and love and grace to this world!!!" My eyes filled with tears and off I went with my new talisman, filled with the awe and wonder of being befriended by Spirit and Nature. It is now almost 30 years later. I am yet again in a new home, having followed the inner prompt once again to be where I am needed to fulfill my mission and purpose. My eagle feather adorns my alter and continues to bring ceremonial blessings to all those I work with. It is the grey winter time again and the doubts want to creep in but this time I have resolved to send them away when they knock at my door. "You are an unwelcome visitor and sorry but you are not coming in for tea this time! Be Gone!" And even though I am once again quite near to the water in the world of the eagles they have been absent from my neighborhood. A few weeks ago I began to hear them calling to me from a distance but no sight to be seen. Then the other day as I completed my morning meditation practice, I looked out my window and there was my beloved feathered friend. I leapt up off of my yoga mat and stood at my window with tears in my eyes and hands joined at my heart in grateful welcome and gratitude.
As I communed with my gorgeous guardian my vision shifted and I saw the outline of a woman's face etched in the tree branches behind him. Head slightly bowed, eyes closed, a tiny smile and simply resting in repose. As above, so below, As within, so without. My peaceful, trusting self, resting in communion with my friend and simply watching over the world as we dispense love and light, peace, harmony and grace. THIS is what I live for. These magnificent moments of synchronicity and affirmation that I am the creator of my world and as I remain steadfast in affirming the power I have to chose peace, faith, profound companionship and grace, the whole world aligns to reflect this back to me. May we all find our ways to align with the deep truth that we are loved and never ever alone. May we claim our power to be world creators. Worlds of joy, love, peace, prosperity and magnificent holy friendship. đŠ
