Vickie Spray is a Therapeutic Writing Coach and Founder/Owner of Your Life Expressions. She is an inspirational speaker, writer, blogger and self-help columnist, and President of WeMoon Spirit, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the growth of women. Ordained as a reverend through the non-denominational church, Alliance of Divine Love, Vickie has provided pro bono counseling and guidance for many years to those in need. Her latest endeavor, Your Life Expressions, embodies her desire to help people heal and return to the authentic SELF that is beyond the trauma, pain, abuse or any emotional block to personal freedom. Through this forum, Vickie offers writing workshops, healing events, and a unique videotaping of life stories that are all in direct alignment with her deep compassion for helping others, and her passion as a SELF-reclamation warrior. She is also the founder and creator of Healing Night, an evening where women come together with their art, writing, performance, spoken word or any creative endeavor that speaks of their experience of healing. Vickie has had essays published in North Carolina Woman, The American Gardner, writes a self-help column for the Branching Out Newsletter and wrote a humorous column for Citrus County Chronicle. She is a much sought after community organizer, having coordinated numerous fundraisers for local groups and charities, and she created a work co-op that helped women carry out a variety of land and house projects. She follows the teachings of Joel Goldsmith, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dwyer, Deepak Chopra and international spiritual teachings from times long gone. But, it is Vickie’s own past which speaks loudest to those who suffer from pain born in the past – her mother was addicted to drugs and killed at the hands of a john while working the streets as a prostitute, her grandmother was murdered, her baby brother committed suicide and she lived with depression and suicidal thoughts for years after. She was sexually molested and lived in foster care at several points in her childhood, and eventually she turned to alcohol and drugs for many years before finally rebelling against generational fate and surrendering herself to Spirit, hope, and a passion to have all that one joyful life can offer. She continues to walk in this path of discovery and SELF-reclamation, studying the meditative arts for most of her adult life. Vickie is continually mindful of nurturing her true spiritual nature and ultimately living as an example to others while in human form. She knows that in each of us is the seed which contains everything we need to grow into the person we came here to become. It is her purpose to remind the seed of its potential.
