| Introduction | Namaste, folks! I'm Omi and I live in beautiful Utah. I'm a wife, mother, poet, activist, earth keeper, cosmic dreamer, mystic explorer and a Jill-of-all-trades. I have a deep respect for all spiritual and religious paths of a loving, tolerant nature and I truly believe we can all learn from one another in endless creative and meaningful ways. I am a fun-loving, eternal optimist joyfully in love with the Divine. I believe life should be lived to the absolute fullest. I am deeply passionate about spirituality, the natural world, helping any sentient being that I can, and celebrating all forms of creative expression. Thanks so much for visiting my blog! ~Blessings of peace, love and joy to all~ |
