JourneyWork with Cinda Crull

Last week I encountered someone who shook my understanding of reality. I always like to meet people who offer a new perception of what is real, and what it is I’m supposed to be doing on this planet. Her name is Cinda Crull, and she’s a channel. That’s right. She is someone who receives information from other worldly “beings” that channel through her, and she relays that information to others. I can already sense your skepticism rising.... and to tell you the truth, mine does too. But I hate to be the one to shatter your own perception of reality - people with intuitive capabilties exist and this one is very tapped in. How do I know?

Cinda asked me to create some videos for her website, because she wants to offer her channeling services to more people. And I thought, what a great gig! But after interviewing Cinda, the tables turned, and she interviewed me! Or should I say, her guides spoke with me. It was a fascinating experience. Cinda describes what it means to channel in this video:

When Cinda channeled for me, a woman’s voice spoke through her.  She described a past life of mine (and I was thinking, are you flippin kidding me? yeah right.). It was all fun and good and a nice trick. And then the voice asked me what I would like to know. Which I wasn’t quite prepared for, but I started tossing out questions anyway. Then it started to get a little intense. Somehow, I was receiving information about personal events in my life that I had not shared with anyone, based on the questions that I was asking. It was actually really amazing. I asked about how I could be a better mother, how I could improve my career, how I could come to grips with events that happened in the past. The information that Cinda was channeling for me was very personal and very useful. She gave me insights and new understandings about my life that I would not have been able to come to on my own, and she validated many things I had felt but never really let myself fully embrace. I appreciate that all of this is sounding rather woo woo and vague, but suffice it to say, I'm a believer. Cinda Crull is the real deal, and if you don’t believe me, try her yourself!  You can learn more about Cinda's services on her website:  www.journeywork.us

In this video clip, Cinda shares a message about global change that she received:

Beth Piekarsky is a dancing diva!

This winter Beth Piekarsky, approached me about making a special video for her.  She was learning how to ballroom dance so that she could perform at Dancing with the Celebrities, an annual fund raiser and dance competition hosted by Bloomington’s Arthur Murray dance school.  She needed a promotional video about her experience and her mission to raise money for the Foundation for Monroe County Schools.  Mrs. Piekarsky, a teacher at University Elementary school and did a fabulous job both performing and fund raising!  Here is the video I made for her:

The Wisdom of Women

The Wisdom of Women.

Great title, awesome project!  This Wisdom of Women project started in 2009 when I was hired by the Office of Disciple Women (Women’s Home Missions, Indianapolis, Indiana) to create a video about the life of Reverend Nancy T. Heimer.  A very skillful team of women was assembled for the project, and I played the role of videographer and video editor..  The result of our work became a DVD titled, The Wisdom of Women Volume 1:  The Reverend Nancy T. Heimer, which we finished in 2010.  

Nancy’s story is inspirational and powerful.  I hang on her every word.  She is a beautiful feminist matriarch, with a fabulous Massachusettes accent and a fantastic, quick sense of humor.  I came out of the project feeling totally respectful of her era of feminism, and grateful for all of the work that women have done to pave the way for the lifestyle I enjoy!

In this short video clip, Nancy talks about the use of the term “men” to describe both women and men, and how confusing it becomes for women when the generic masculine form is supposed to include women too.

As a mother of three very young children in the 1960s, Nancy began to lose her ability to see.  She became legally blind and over the years lost her sight entirely.  But Nancy raised her children, went to seminary and became an ordained minister.  She had a meaningful career in the Disciples of Christ, Office of Women’s Ministries and travelled the world in order to learn about the lives and missions of women of faith, and to bring the lessons home to integrate.  

The video we created was a huge success and was shown during the Quadrennial Women’s Assembly in North Carolina in 2010.  Nancy was there to experience the event and sign autographed copies of the DVD!  The video and accompanying study guide is now used widely as a discussion tool within Christian women’s groups.  

Nancy lives in Bloomington with her husband, Roger, who is also a retired minister.  One of the things I find most fascinating about my work is learning about how people become who they are.  In this video clip, Nancy describes growing up in the church:
