About Liza
I was born into a spiritual commune in San Francisco in the mid 1970’s. My father was a man from India who came to the United States to share his message of the Divine nature of all creation. Although he and many of his followers were aware of their Divine connection to Spirit, they were human and struggled with issues such as drug addiction, depression, jealousy, anger and violence.
Shortly after my father died in 1981 my mother joined a utopian commune called Kerista. This commune was also born of lofty ideals, but eventually dissolved as many of the members realized that their freedom and independent thought was being hampered and they were in fact not living a utopic life.
Although I didn’t experience much abuse within the communes and many of my experiences were in fact good, I was ostracized because of our beliefs and experienced severe abuse in school and in the community. This led to suicidal feelings when I was about 8 years old and I spent the next 6 years killing myself slowly with drugs, alcohol and reckless behavior.
Sensing the irony of my painful experiences against the backdrop of the spiritual communes I grew up in, I turned away from faith in God, the Source Energy from which we all came and that which we all are. At age 13 I had a near death experience after an overdose and since then have had a strong knowing that I have an important purpose to fill here. In my greatest moment of darkness, I opened myself up to any and all wisdom that could help me survive and at fourteen I entered a drug treatment center and began the process of re-creating my life.
Over the years I have studied and read words of wisdom from many of the world’s great teachers and have been able to create so much more in my life than I ever thought possible. I have learned to once again recognize my Divine nature as a child of God and harness the creative power of the universe to overcome all obstacles and manifest my dreams. I now see each and every experience as a blessing and a lesson that has helped me to come closer to the spiritual world and define my life’s purpose.
I now live in Texas with my beautiful family and sell real estate in and around the Dallas area. I have volunteered with organizations such as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Child Assault Prevention (CAP), Metrocrest Social Services, Habitat for Humanity and Realtor Service Volunteer Program (RSVP). I have a great mission in sharing my message of hope, love and forgiveness. I do personal life coaching and am writing a spiritual memoir which I plan to publish in early 2013. I also have a strong calling to do work in the area of child advocacy and protection, however, by far, my greatest gift of service has been, and will remain, the raising of my three beautiful children.
I have achieved more than I ever thought possible and the blessings continue pouring in. They are sometimes disguised as obstacles or challenges, but I have come to see that even these challenges are helping me climb to greater heights and solidifying my purpose in life; to use what I have learned to inspire and uplift others. This blog is dedicated to sharing the lessons and inspiration I have received, and inspiring you to create a better life for yourself, your family and the world at large.

cool!
Liza- I just listened to your interview with Macha. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with the world. I had a similar experience in the last year and a half. My relationship fell apart and it was so painful that I thought I would drown, but it turned out to be the greatest of blessings. I discovered Truth, and it set me free.
An extra bonus was that my marriage survived and is now a thing of great beauty! I am so happy to know that there are many of us on this journey to Love. All the best to you on the path that you have chosen to walk with God.
Christy, Thank you so much! And yes, it sounds like we have walked a very similar path. This has been not only a painful year, but one of tremendous growth and fortune. I too have found my way back to Love, which is the greatest gift, and because of that, my marriage is intact and evolving every day.
