Under the Mayday Tree

About the Book

This book is about my awakening, my gift. I wrote it as a sort of outlet, a place to gather my thoughts and emotions and see them all in one place. It is by no means the end of my journey, only the beginning; the ending is mine to write based on an accumulation of moments. When I first wrote it, I was just going to put it on a shelf and use it as a page mark in my life but decided, after speaking with some beautiful people, to make it available to whomever might benefit from it. It’s just me and my perspective. There is no right way; there is only your way. My hope is that this book might help others and, if the time is right, maybe help begin their awakened adventure. Trust your journey and respect those who journey around you. Peace and much love.

About the Author

Born in Saskatchewan, I moved to northern Alberta at a young age where I met most of my really close friends who, to this day, still love and support me even when we don’t get a chance to speak for extended periods. I graduated and went to work in the oil sands right out of high school, earning great money and living the life I thought I was supposed to live. I met Rita when I was twenty-two and fell instantly in love. We married and started having kids, Jacob, Ryan, and Jimmy, who, along with my wife, began teaching me invaluable lessons—some hard, some easy, all necessary. Right around my forty-third birthday, as was always intended, I began to hear the lessons that were being offered, and my journey began.
