To introduce myself is to suppose who myself is...I can only say for certain that I won't be the same person that begun this..
I discovered Steemit through a facebook video post by Brie Marie, Thanks Love! I thought wow, this is amazing, exactly what I was calling in to my life and I'm ready, so where do I begin. .. study the systems and learn the code, of course! And I have a lot to learn to navigate this realm... so here goes my first piece....
I am Izula Jade, a Gatekeeper, two spirit woman of peace and prayer, at home in the mystery, planting seeds in the garden, dancing with the bees and hugging trees, lifting prayers for the waters of the world and my life is ceremony. I was reborn as a Mother to a beautiful sun whose journeyed 5 years around the sun.
I am an indigeounous/indogeonous mixture of Ancestry..Zulu, Igbo, Seminole, Spanish, Gullah and Creole Ascendents informing this Body born in Missouri, United States, Turtle Island, Mother Earth. I see all beings as my brothers and sisters, my teachers and allies.
My passion is in writing scribes and painting the inner workings of my soul, documenting the details and guideposts along the path of becoming whole, waging peace with a pen to win the battle in my blood and bones.
"Estatic ReB(earth)" I painted this piece a few years ago
I am here to grow, learn, witness and build bridges of solidarity with agents of change, healing the trauma of displacement and contradiction in living through this time of prophecy and hypocrisy. I've commited myself to be a student of life, a servant and catalyst for change, an advocate and voice for the voiceless.
I am a Medium, Reiki Master, an Organic farmer, Raw food chef, and Optimal Nutrition Coach in training. I see Food as medicine, mantra, and muse.. fueling the flames of freedom from within, that is my offering to the ancestors and future generations for the blessings of being alive.
In these times, we are facing serious challenges to our humanity and survival of future generations..So may I offer inspiration, spotlight solutions, shift paradigms and stay in remembrance of the everyday miracles through writing, chefing, and healing through art, recipes and prayers for peace that sometimes take the form of poetry, fast flowing streams of consciousness, carving channels of possibilities of living, learning and loving sustainably.
Welcome to family :) Follow me back and I will surprise you on August 1 ;)
Thank you, blessed to meet you and look forward to seeing more of you

welcome
:)
Welcome to the Steemit community. Great writing :)
Thank you, I intend to improve as I share in this light.
Thanks for the post! Why did you join steemit! Upvoting and following!
Great question, I joined the *Steemit Train because I have not only a passion for writing, chefing, art, health, healing modalities and activism, I wish to expand my sense of community, improve my communication skills and be enriched by agents of change...this is a Training ground!!! so that I can be a blessing and inspire those who have yet to come. I realize through your question that I should include this in my introduction. Thank YOU for helping me grow.
That makes sense, what are the main topics that you intend to blog about?
My topics will flow in cycles of initiation, as I learn to navigate through the many circles of offerings. My poetree and musings can vary in depths of indigenous wisdom, light work and healing modalities, spirituality, philosophy parenting and activism as a Water Protector. My recipes center on the use of superfoods supporting cellular regeneration, detoxification and food Sovereignity. ..the only im certain of is change, so I will adapt and flow with the mutual support of the community
Sounds like fun, I have a question that I am curious about. How do you protect the water?
I am engaged in building bridges between agents of change, supporting alliances with indigenous people, in ceremony and prayer campaigns, examples of my works include stopping the TMT, telescopes being built on the top of Mauna Kea, that pollute the watershed of the big island of Hawai'i. On Mauna Kea, the largest mountain on the planet from peak to sea floor, there is an alpine glacier lake, the only one in the world that I know of, that was drying out due to piping infrastructure into lake from previous telescopes. The waters are sacred. The peaks are surrounded by sacred altars of the ancient Hawaiian natives. World peace and prayer day was held right there this year with my elders. I am helping with the Run4Salmon prayer campaign with the Winnemem Wintu tribe of Mt. Shasta in California to restore the ancient pathways of the Salmon, an indicator species of a healthy river. I am helping to stop pipelines being built in the u.s. that pollute waterways and future generations access to fresh water, like DAPL crossing Missouri River, my river, and Line#3 in Minnesota, etc by supporting Protectors on the frontlines, ive stood in the face of police and mercenaries protecting corporate profits over the commons and life of future generations, writing to gov offices and universities, organizing letter campaigns, boycotts of investing businesses in environmental destruction, etc. I look for ways to be of service and sharing the truth any way I can...on the ground, on the screen, in ceremony. I am a water carrier, a water protector and I take that responsibility very seriously.
I pray every day for the water, it is a living spirit to me. It is more conscious of us then we are of it collectively.
Thanks for the information. Are you a Trump supporter, just curious?
What a wonderfully written intro. Hey...we have a blood connection because i am Ibo too...with almost the same hubby...followed and upvoted cuz u are my sister. Welcome.
Giving thanks for the connection between blood and bones. Are you fluent in language too?
What language?
I have experienced different dialects of the igbo/ibo people, from river to mountain tribes. Each a unique language unto itself
Yes very fluent in ibo
wonderful
Thank you for the reflection.
,
Keeping it simple?

I posted two pieces since the intro, both poetic streams of consciousness.
https://steemit.com/poetry/@metazenmama/i-am-that-love-i-am
https://steemit.com/writing/@metazenmama/happy-innerdeep-and-dance-day
I will post articles to inspire a new perspective and shift in consciousness, my art, my garden, recipes of vitality will all be a part of that practice.
Im still learning the codes of etiquette and wish to create an experience with my layouts when entering the ebbs and flow of self and soul awareness.
Yes, it was the first thing I did after writing my comment. I saw the to posts. I am glad to see that you are actively and genuinly busy with the consciousness shift. The more people get introduced to this the better. It's time to wake up. :)
So true, the awakening is happening, breathing intuit and opening to the infinite possibilities will allow us to live fully in the heart, the mother of mystery
Yes it is happening :)

Hi Izula (beautiful name, btw) - Welcome to Steemit.com! I enjoyed reading your post &, like you, I'm a very Spiritual person, too, and live a healthy organic food lifestyle and regularly exercise...... Also, I'd love to be your Friend..... Follow me @doctormegazilla & I'll Follow U back!
Thank you for the warm reception and resonance. I welcome new connections to support and uplift each other towards being the best of ourselves. What inspired you on your path of wellness?
Back in my Misspent Youth, I was a bit of a Partier... Then, one day, I literally woke up & just decided I was done with hangovers and feeling crappy after a long weekend of staying up and dancing all night at the clubs.... So, that day I went for a 3 mile walk and just started exercising, then I cleaned up my diet, & lost 12 lbs.... Now, I'm in bed by 9 pm and get up to exercise/stretch/meditate every morning at 4:30 am....
Going back to nature facilitates a reset from the matrix of illusion. Thank you for following your intuition and taking care of yourself. Our bodies are on loan and a temple if we choose to embrace it..getting a good nights rest is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves
