The journey of life sometimes leads us to unknown territory. A place where the unfamiliar surrounds and captures your spirit and consciousness for deeper exploration and clarification. On this journey, unexpected situations arrive to challenge your strengths and test ones beliefs. Two things occur on the way: 1. You meet the inner realm of self and beyond, to find truth. 2. You discover answers and begin to live differently by shedding outmoded ways: recognizing the power of your mission.

Rochelle appeared to me in early October �97 after a long difficult and trying year. She was a welcome sign of relief and forward motion very much desired. The thick forest is the dark unknown place we all travel in our lives, lush with many green pathways (earth). Some straight ways, some in a labrinyth, some with many crossroads and some going in circles. The trees have absorbed people who lack courage, faith, hope or inner strength. They complicate the pathway with roots and branches (the past, present and future). Dark spirits lurk between the trees tempting to capture your spirit for their own selfish purpose. The owl is wisdom and great power yet to unfold, just around the bend.

Rochelle leads and points the way to the inner light source, the core, the seed of the spirit that heals everything. Rochelle is a strong spiritual figure and protector giving direction out of the unknown. She is feminine power, grounded by mother earth, gifted by God. She knows and reveals the pathway and direction to restore life. She nurtures through love and faith and provides insight and light to see the way. She is the Pathfinder to Truth and Power.
