MY STORY

I seek to be wholly Melissa.

Like so many others, my life’s journey has been full of ups, downs, and zigs and zags.

In certain moments and times along that journey, I have been curious as to my purpose, my life’s purpose. My Christian upbringing gave me a knowledge of the Divine, yet something in me told me there is more. In the midst of serving on staff at two different United Methodist Churches, I became more and more curious in a Universal Truth that was living in me, through me and around me. I followed my curiosity in an academic way and received a Master of Divinity from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology which inspired my spiritual curiosity beyond that of head knowledge. I received a Certification in Spiritual Direction through Zeitgeist (zgatl.org) in response to my continued curiosity, which is ceaseless, in recognizing my own experiences in the Divine moving in me and the world. My curiosity in a Universal Truth lies in the experiences of knowing true Wholeness and Belonging.
