Charlie Marie

In 2022 Charlie Marie packed her life into her Toyota Yaris and hit the road for distant vistas and parts unknown. She wandered the American highways without a plan, not knowing where she was going, how long she’d be gone or what she was looking for. As she drove, she listened to tapes and tunes of her icons and influencers. She took in breathtaking landscapes, mountains, valleys and streams, sunlight and snow, open air, the scent of nature and Ponderosa pines. Fiery sunsets and starry nights stilled her mind and calmed her heart. Nature fed her spirituality, eased her pain and encouraged her to face her fears and pay attention to the many signs and scenarios serving to teach, test, validate and redirect her life.   The unknown became a dear friend she embraced openly, leading her to many earth angels, both young and old as well as strangers who offered her nothing but kindness; people with something to share whom she would have previously shunned or avoided. Some moved her along her path, others redirected it. Through it all she shed the shackles of the past, healed her heart, learned how to love herself unconditionally and unearthed her authentic self. Her wish is to touch the hearts of listeners in the same way that facing her fears, wrestling her insecurities and traveling uncharted territory opened up and empowered her in ways she never believed possible. Charlie urges everyone to pay attention to the signs along your path.
