“What do you do in the city?”

“I’m a professional wizard.”

“You know…I’ve heard about you. What’s that mean?”

“It means I get to hand-hold people through their transformation.  It’s a front-row seat to the experience of the world changing, old cultural beliefs evolving, and life generally improving for everyone. It helps me to be an optimist.   I also find that whatever issues my clients want to work on are resonant with the things that are active in my own life.  By being a healer, I reinforce and inspire my own healing.”

“How’d you become a wizard?”

“I was led to this work by my own need to heal from a chronic illness.  That illness was my teacher. It led me to begin building a toolbox of things that powerfully worked for me.  A decade later, I had a collection of excellent tools, an empowering perspective on healing and I was called to share them. ”

“What was the illness?”

“About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with HIV. I was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t being honest. But it ended up being a real blessing. I was taken out of easy street immediately.  At first it taught me to be humble, and then it taught me to be honest. In the last five years its taught me how to take care of this vessel that carries my soul.  I’m now putting my energy into the collective as manifesting a cure.”

“You should give Magic Johnson a ring.”

“I do. That’s where I get my treatments. At ‘Out of the Closet’.”

“Yeah…I’ve seen that place. I always thought it was strange that a clothing store offers free HIV tests.”

“Yeah…that whole store exists to fund his HIV services.”

“Thanks for sharing your story. Would you mind if I put all this on my blog?”

“Well…sure. If you think it would help.”
